From his 4000 calories a day you still get like 55-80 grams of protein(depending on what type) of from fruits alone. I just used 3 fruits oranges, papayas and bananas on chronometer and the vitamin and minerals are through the ROOF!
I don't understand how you're relating vitamins and minerals to protein. Your 1st point made sense though-that he's actually eating a lot of protein. A horse needs 600 g of protein a day to function. They eat 22 pounds of grass per day to get it. This video is actually dangerous disinformation because if people try to go on a fruitarian diet without consuming enough protein, they will die
@@AdamWestish I have been fruitarian for many years, as have many people I know, we get average from 30 - 50 grams a day of protein from the fruit, because every single fruit/food has (amino acids) AKA protein... I have never seen any fruitarian die, only people that eat excess meat and animal products.
@@AdamWestishare you mother fucker or what a horse weight around 1100 pounds by your calculation atleast horse need 2200 g of protein hence still horse is protein deficient .
So what's the problem ? I'm having 2-3 kg of oranges daily, with about 1.5 kg of bananas, plus other fruits depending on availability. "100g of limited quality protein" ? First you don't need 100g, I'm usually under 50g a day and feeling great. Second, limited quality ? You have *all* the required amino-acids in fruits and vegetables ! Low quality proteins are the ones coming from meat and dairy.
What is the answer to that? If you don’t want to eat beans or legumes or nuts, where DOES the protein come from? Even eating 4oz of salmon a week I am failing the amt of protein in my blood to give plasma.
@canadianwargod Fruits and veg are low in protein, though that's the right amount - about 40-70 grams a day. Some americans are getting 150-300 grams a day. That is dangerous. People have been $OLD a high-protien myth.

0:50 "I've read that mother's breast milk is something like 6 or 8 percent protein by Calorie" Using the nutrition-data figures on the Wikipedia page for human breast milk, I calculated 6.3%, so that's right. It should be considered, though, that breast milk contains no fiber, and that it has been demonstrated that protein-malnutrition can easily be created in babies by feeding them fiber. Apparently, fiber interferes with protein digestion, and therefore increases dietary protein requirements.
@cleaningotis You're looking at him. This man runs 200 miles a week. He does 100 mile ultramarathons. His teeth aren't damaged by acid, he hasn't had an injury in over 12 years or something.
As a matter of science, an adult homo sapiens sapiens is known to require 1/10th of 1% of its calories as protein to function properly. That's about what is consumed as protein on a daily basis by humans (ref. Basics of Physiology). Not to mention that we don't need protein to use protein, we need amino acids to then assemble protein after digestion. Muscle cells are filled by a form of sugar synthesized only by animals, glycogen.
:) I AM 33 YEARS OLD I HAVE BEING A VEGETARIAN FOR OVER 20 YEARS I AM IN TRANSITION TO BE A FRUITARIAN, I PRACTICE NORDIC SKATING SWIMMING, CYCLING, + I WORK IN A WARE HOUSE WHICH IS A LOT OF HARD WORK WELL NONE OF THE COMMON DIET PEOPLE EQUALS MY STAMINA AND ENDURANCE I CAN WORK 6 HRS NON STOP, STACKING BOXES FROM 40 TO 80 POUNDS EACH. I HAVE BEING TOLD THAT I WORK FOR 3 PEOPLE. WHAT THESE GUY IS SAYING TRUE NO NEED OF DAIRY OR MEET OF ANY KIND IS NEEDED.
100g of protein are in net 10kg oranges. What you need depends on what you want. For maintenance or "feeling great" you need less than for growth. If you do not have deficiencies that is good. Amounts of essential amino acids are generally lower in fruits and vegetables, but proper combination helps. Digestibility is also poorer, meaning more protein from fruits will be excreted than from e.g. milk or eggs.
Thank you for all your great work promoting Fruitarianism. If there's any shred of hope for saving the environment people need to turn on to tree foods!
I wonder where are you now after 10 years, did you drop the diet? Also what you said is just untrue, eating fruit only would be absolutely detrimental to the environment
Hey Matthew, I know this is an old comment, just letting you know ripe fruit contains the enzymes that build the polypeptide chains, Thats why its so important to eat fruit only when its ripe. :)
That's very true. We use a lot of energy in thinking. Small muscles don't mean weakness though. There's a guy on youtube, fruitandstrength, who is very strong and pretty small.
The fruitarian u are a real fruitarian lol fruit is life. 🙌🏼 It doesn’t have to be complicated. You can always eat only apples for a few days to start off the fruitarian journey/lifestyle.
That part is true but the question remains if the quantities of amino acids that you get on a fruit based diet is enough to meet your needs. Newer nitrogen balance studies show that not 0.8g per kg bw is sufficient, it is 1.2g per kg bw. So for me for instance, i weigh 65kg, i would need 78 grams of amino acids to meet my needs.
@mi1ooo98 What you're saying is theres a difference between "looking good" and performing good. When you should really be focusing on is how healthy you are, you're still focusing on how good you look. Self esteem..?
actually a lot of people use hemp protein, it is complete protein (as in the 9 essential amino acids for humans). the only issues with hemp is drugs tests, you can fail a drug test if you consume hemp seeds, and it was ruled in 2003 that you can't use that as a defense against positive drug testing...it is a very small chance though that it would show up in a drug test, but it has happened before.
@cleaningotis Like I said, you're the only one worrying about how they look. Fruitarian is about being healthy, the performance of athleticism is just an extra. You must have self esteem issues if your entire focus is on physique and looking good, "It's a project" Ya, I'm sure, because out of all the things people strive for in their lives it's to make their physique a "project"
It's important to remember that plants don't usually have the full amino acids, and you have to get a variety to create the full spectrum, with a few exceptions. Furthermore, it's the ratio that counts, and animal meat has a higher ratio of the full amino acid protein, usually. Plants are more balanced and have less protein, for your health.. it is proven that too much is not good for you, and that means the ratio.
@RandomLevitation I'm not debating how healthy it is to have aesthetically pleasing physique. Running 100 mile marathons is not a representation of good health either, it's a test of how good you are at running 100 miles, doesn't mean you're healthy.
I for one being a runner and a boxer find this guy to be inspiration. Deny his methods all you want, he's proving the system wrong. Out classing 95% of americans in their "diet" of meat, greens, dairy and fruit, he sticks with fruit and veggies and is able to stay healthier than most of the population, not to mention his teeth are in great conditioning for consuming the most acidic and sugary foods.
Yes you are right, they need enzymes to be activated on a molecular level. I was saying that you don't need protein to build new protein. If that was your concern, but you certainly know that already.
I increased my max pullups from 15 to 34 after 8 weeks high fruit (low protein) raw vegan. But I have to recommend that now I feel better with some sprouts and also some more greens. Not very much but just fruit does'nt work for me
@cleaningotis Like I said, life isn't about having a good physique, it's about being healthy. Trying to "look good" is saying, by some set standards you either look good or look bad. It has nothing to do with that.
in your first pics where you have your shirt off you look more bulky than the second when you were running marathon...why is that? did you change exercises type?
our cells run on glycogen, we can get that either from sugars such as those in fruit, or our body has the ability to use protein and fat. However the process of going from fat/protein to glycogen is taxing on the body and much more complex. He gives his cells simple sugars which readily fuels his cells therefore he only requires a small amount of f&p. But if he were to stop providing these sugars, then there would be problems and he would more F&P to make up for the loss. hope this helped :)
I only see videos of younger people who'v recently taken up a fruit based diet. They're very enthused about it, because it's new. 15 years from now, will any of them still be doing it? Very doubtful....
Each and EVERY word you say is 100% true.Proteins are not THAT necessary for the body,I mean you do need them but you get sufficient proteins from green veg food and milk.There is a research by some university which says that meat does NOT contain proteins and that is a complex for of an enzyme which is often mistaken for proteins..... anyways vegans are stronger than non vegans :)
I"m eating a frugivore diet, and yesterday I added up my nutrients in cronometer, and noticed, for protein, I'm not even meeting my OWN 'low' target! I'm going by the WHO; they get the lowest - 40 grams) I've been getting 30 grams for a couple months! I"m not losing weight and my body's not telling me to change course.
No, our cells run on glucose, which can quickly be converted from glycogen however. The problem with this diet is that you have to eat with some regularity. On a low-carb diet that's never an issue. More and more studies show the benefits of Low carb/Atkins. No other well known diet can match it in terms of general health factors and weight loss. One of the big benefits is the increased access to fat stores, which means that you won't run out of energy unless you train at a very high intensity.
There hasn't been a conclusive study on insulin sensitivity (the more overweight the more insulin sensitive you are). I'm hoping the participants in his next study won't have a significant drop out rate. Then us nutritionists will have more of an insight about the issue. Another thing to note, is that these people weren't following Atkins. There carbs were 25-30% it is meant to be around 15%. It is easier to follow if the carbs are upped like these participants did. I agree with you about Bread!
@constrength yes i know what you mean, and i also agree with you. All i want is for more people to increase there fruit and veggie intake, since they always wonder where they get disease from
Ulizinho,What is the first thing a lion eat? The organs of a cow where there is grass in it,and than the meat ,at last the muscles and bones. Even a lion needs GREENS.
i'm not raw, not even 100% vegan, but i have to agree that eating a lot of raw, especially fruit, i feel the healthiest afterwards. nothing can beat a bowl of fruit for taste, heath and feel. makes sense. it's the holy diet.
@cleaningotis I'd choose the performance over looking good any day of the week. I could care less about looking good to whoevers standards, performing hundred mile races is outstanding and outclassing any other person that tries. Squatting 800 is damn good, and if you think "They still look like shit" Than that's your opinion, but when you're worrying about what you look like, you usually have other issues on your plate.
Please, don't use breast milk argument. Here is why : - it's true that breast milk has 6-7%(kCal) of proteins but... - an average 3-4kg infant drinks daily around 750ml of breast milk - it's around 400-500 kcal... proportionaly ~4 times more than an adult consumes - 750 ml of breast milk containts more than 8 g of good quality proteins - it gives more than 2 grams of proteins per kilogram of body mass - it's more protein than weight lifters consume daily on high protein diets
ive been eating much less meet this past year and i have lost about 30 pounds. i ponder maybe its because lack of protein. i will start eating a crap ton more fruit for now on and see if it will balance my weight out again. i want to be about 140. i am about 130 now maybe less. was 150-155 for a few years before that.
Also consider that infants need 150% of that of adults and children 10-20% more than that of adults, Its a very easy comparison to make, we don't have to double our size, simply maintain. I can guarantee his weight doesn't fluctuate. And just look at him. He does not look sick, he looks healthy! I dare say healthier than most of the american population...
Bananas made me fat as hell .. bloated too . When I stopped the bananas my weight go back to normal . I believe fruit CAN make you fat . Or maybe it's only some people get fat some don't but I sure did . Now if I eat bananas I eat only one .
Well, your body grows rapidly as a child yes but the protein content in milk does not change, it's a flat number most of the time. As a child, even though you grow rapidly, you need less protein because you are smaller. As an adult, you are likely to be four, five times as big, and therefore you need more protein. Not sure where he is getting b12 from, maybe someone can explain?
Listen to the Medical Medium Apple podcast-B12, Trick or Treat. You Don’t Get It From Meat. Every animal makes it own b12. We can’t share it. A blood test doesn’t mean much. Could just be floating in the blood because it’s not being utilized.
Oranges got 0.9 g on a 100g protein, so your 7% declaration is wrong. But i appreciate your video and it's absolutely true what you say related to food industry and proteins.
It might be difficult to adhere to 15% or less if you eat out once in a while, or spend a lot of time with friends. But it is not so hard if you don't work out at a high intensity, and the urge to binge or snack is almost lost on LCHF.
Indeed, below average muscle mass, however, visible due to low body fat as well. Presenting percentages of total calories coming from protein is unusual at best. 100g of peeled, edible oranges contain about 1g=1% protein and 42 kcal. That would in fact be more than 10% of total kcals. Getting all 4000 kcal from oranges takes net 10kg after peeling, providing 100g of limited quality protein and 800 (!) g of sugar. Lastly, gorillas, horses, cows do not much else but eating.
Just a note on the link :) Love this guy, His studies are great! barring the fact that 811rv want the performance not the weight loss, all diets over the year majority of people keep off the same amount of weight and as Christopher Gardner says it's about adherence. I would help my clients if they were set on an atkins diet, but I would monitor closely. The insulin sensitivity thing is extremely interesting isn't it! But, even this study is non-conclusive of that.
Open wikipedia for: Protein_Digestibility_Corrected_Amino_Acid_Score I do not know of a healthy organism that does not excrete its waste products. I will mention that a balanced diet commonly contains sufficient fibre. Go by the well-being of your stomach and aim for nonflatulence. At least between people who eat meat and those who do not, total mortality is about equal, with meat-eaters being less health focused, more often smokers, suffering more heart failures, but fewer strokes and cancer.
........ correction: They coined the term "Frugivore". Humans made the term "Fruitarian" to describe a person living in an advanced/corrupted society that eats naturally.
people being dumb to other people for no good reason. you jelly bro? you worry about yourself. This guys not stupid, if he saw something he'd take care of it.
@RandomLevitation Its not worrying about body image its about viewing my physique as a project. If you respect performance athletes and strive to perform better so be it, but its pretty insulting to have arrogant fruitarians thinking they look awesome when in reality they dont.
Do you know who those particular doctors are? You should check them out. I highly doubt they have "vested interests" in making you sick. In any case, lighten up a bit. I was only asking about the 8% figure because I honestly wanted to know, I couldn't find it. Cheers.
@thenishanth420 I don't know a single vegan that is a power athlete competing at high levels. FYI- Power athletes are not long distant runners. Name me a power lifter, olympic lifter, sprinter, etc. that is a vegan.
Scientists often twist the science, or cherry pick, or ignore pieces. THEN the goverment get a hold of it. On the other hand, we ARE science. We are frugivores.
Gorillas can eat up to 70 pounds of vegetation a day. Could be anywhere from 600-900 grams of protein a day lol. All those herbivores eat lots of protein. Just sayin ; ) You look amazingly healthy by the way. I wish fruit didn't make me so tired or I'd eat more of it!
Your adrenal gland is probably very damaged, the adrenal gland controls sugar metabolism. Without proper sugarmetaboism you will ferment your fruits and it can slow you down. Work on adrenal glands
I want my clients bursting with life, not starving from calorie restriction and using the wrong fuel to get the same results but in a very ineffective way in their bodies.
I agree that humans only need amino acids, but there are 8 that we have to get in the diet, as humans can't synthesis them. Also, you say that proteins don't need proteins to function, but this isn't strictly true in the case of lots of enzymes.
......ok, I'm slow spotting trolls(because in my mind, lying makes no sense; doesn't do any good). But you can tell he saw the vid to the end, and saw the muscle GROWTH. But I wanna say: Scientists are not unanimously against fruitarianism (they coined the term even!......as the natural diet of primates, elephants, deer, etc)

Ulizinho,What is the first thing a lion eat? The organs of a cow where there is grass in it,and than the meat ,at last the muscles and bones. Even a lion needs GREENS.
i'm not raw, not even 100% vegan, but i have to agree that eating a lot of raw, especially fruit, i feel the healthiest afterwards. nothing can beat a bowl of fruit for taste, heath and feel. makes sense. it's the holy diet.
Bullshit. Meat is thr holy diet.
@cleaningotis I'd choose the performance over looking good any day of the week. I could care less about looking good to whoevers standards, performing hundred mile races is outstanding and outclassing any other person that tries. Squatting 800 is damn good, and if you think "They still look like shit" Than that's your opinion, but when you're worrying about what you look like, you usually have other issues on your plate.
Please, don't use breast milk argument. Here is why :
- it's true that breast milk has 6-7%(kCal) of proteins but...
- an average 3-4kg infant drinks daily around 750ml of breast milk
- it's around 400-500 kcal... proportionaly ~4 times more than an adult consumes
- 750 ml of breast milk containts more than 8 g of good quality proteins
- it gives more than 2 grams of proteins per kilogram of body mass
- it's more protein than weight lifters consume daily on high protein diets
Excellent argument
How did T. C. Fry get protein deficient?
ive been eating much less meet this past year and i have lost about 30 pounds. i ponder maybe its because lack of protein. i will start eating a crap ton more fruit for now on and see if it will balance my weight out again. i want to be about 140. i am about 130 now maybe less. was 150-155 for a few years before that.
Also consider that infants need 150% of that of adults and children 10-20% more than that of adults, Its a very easy comparison to make, we don't have to double our size, simply maintain. I can guarantee his weight doesn't fluctuate. And just look at him. He does not look sick, he looks healthy! I dare say healthier than most of the american population...
do you take vitamin b12 supplements? where do you get your b12?
So you cant get fat from fruit? i eat about 2500 grams of veggies and 4 pieces of chicken and a a lot of bananas (maybe 10-15) a day. plz answer :P
Bananas made me fat as hell .. bloated too . When I stopped the bananas my weight go back to normal . I believe fruit CAN make you fat . Or maybe it's only some people get fat some don't but I sure did . Now if I eat bananas I eat only one .
Protein is like gravity 😉
Well, your body grows rapidly as a child yes but the protein content in milk does not change, it's a flat number most of the time. As a child, even though you grow rapidly, you need less protein because you are smaller. As an adult, you are likely to be four, five times as big, and therefore you need more protein.
Not sure where he is getting b12 from, maybe someone can explain?
Listen to the Medical Medium Apple podcast-B12, Trick or Treat. You Don’t Get It From Meat. Every animal makes it own b12. We can’t share it. A blood test doesn’t mean much. Could just be floating in the blood because it’s not being utilized.
Oranges got 0.9 g on a 100g protein, so your 7% declaration is wrong. But i appreciate your video and it's absolutely true what you say related to food industry and proteins.
It might be difficult to adhere to 15% or less if you eat out once in a while, or spend a lot of time with friends. But it is not so hard if you don't work out at a high intensity, and the urge to binge or snack is almost lost on LCHF.
can somebody tell me what the fruitarian stance on vitamin b-12 is?
Why doesn’t he eat beans? Aren’t they the ‘fruit’ of the bean plant?
What planet are you from mate? John A. McDougall, M.D.? Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D.? Neal D. Barnard, M.D.?
Check out fruitandstrength's channel. Deadlifts 450 lbs on a fruitarian diet. Did 100 alternating one-handed pushups.
Indeed, below average muscle mass, however, visible due to low body fat as well.
Presenting percentages of total calories coming from protein is unusual at best. 100g of peeled, edible oranges contain about 1g=1% protein and 42 kcal. That would in fact be more than 10% of total kcals. Getting all 4000 kcal from oranges takes net 10kg after peeling, providing 100g of limited quality protein and 800 (!) g of sugar.
Lastly, gorillas, horses, cows do not much else but eating.
Hmm...makes me think...he could be right. Except I would go for the raw rather thank fruitarian, as an addition of the greens is a good idea.
Do you worry about omega 6 and 3
yes my friend watermelon is chock full of omega 3 fats for a healthy brain
@@eddiew2325 awesome
That's because gorillas and rhinos and horses can change the grass to fatty chain acids, as humans, you can't.
Just a note on the link :) Love this guy, His studies are great! barring the fact that 811rv want the performance not the weight loss, all diets over the year majority of people keep off the same amount of weight and as Christopher Gardner says it's about adherence. I would help my clients if they were set on an atkins diet, but I would monitor closely. The insulin sensitivity thing is extremely interesting isn't it! But, even this study is non-conclusive of that.

I do not know of a healthy organism that does not excrete its waste products.
I will mention that a balanced diet commonly contains sufficient fibre. Go by the well-being of your stomach and aim for nonflatulence.
At least between people who eat meat and those who do not, total mortality is about equal, with meat-eaters being less health focused, more often smokers, suffering more heart failures, but fewer strokes and cancer.
Is he still a fruitarian?
Yes, he is!..
Thanks amigo! to all who disliked this video.. why?!
........ correction: They coined the term "Frugivore". Humans made the term "Fruitarian" to describe a person living in an advanced/corrupted society that eats naturally.
This guys physique is really good! And strong.
very well put @steelpython
Or from seeds and avacado... Just thought I'd chuck that out there.
it what many ppl have done for years, these ppl are old now and healthy and capable...compare them to the average person of their age!
people being dumb to other people for no good reason. you jelly bro? you worry about yourself. This guys not stupid, if he saw something he'd take care of it.
@RandomLevitation Its not worrying about body image its about viewing my physique as a project. If you respect performance athletes and strive to perform better so be it, but its pretty insulting to have arrogant fruitarians thinking they look awesome when in reality they dont.
Thank you, Dr. Gabbery.
Do you know who those particular doctors are? You should check them out. I highly doubt they have "vested interests" in making you sick. In any case, lighten up a bit. I was only asking about the 8% figure because I honestly wanted to know, I couldn't find it. Cheers.
BRILLIANT!!! Thank you :)
@thenishanth420 I don't know a single vegan that is a power athlete competing at high levels. FYI- Power athletes are not long distant runners. Name me a power lifter, olympic lifter, sprinter, etc. that is a vegan.
Since when do vegans drink milk...?
Scientists often twist the science, or cherry pick, or ignore pieces. THEN the goverment get a hold of it.
On the other hand, we ARE science. We are frugivores.
Gorillas can eat up to 70 pounds of vegetation a day. Could be anywhere from 600-900 grams of protein a day lol. All those herbivores eat lots of protein. Just sayin ; )
You look amazingly healthy by the way. I wish fruit didn't make me so tired or I'd eat more of it!
Your adrenal gland is probably very damaged, the adrenal gland controls sugar metabolism. Without proper sugarmetaboism you will ferment your fruits and it can slow you down. Work on adrenal glands
yeah but they are gorillas they are not humans. lol
Sugar crash
I want my clients bursting with life, not starving from calorie restriction and using the wrong fuel to get the same results but in a very ineffective way in their bodies.
I agree that humans only need amino acids, but there are 8 that we have to get in the diet, as humans can't synthesis them. Also, you say that proteins don't need proteins to function, but this isn't strictly true in the case of lots of enzymes.
what is healthy?
......ok, I'm slow spotting trolls(because in my mind, lying makes no sense; doesn't do any good). But you can tell he saw the vid to the end, and saw the muscle GROWTH.
But I wanna say: Scientists are not unanimously against fruitarianism (they coined the term even!......as the natural diet of primates, elephants, deer, etc)
Also, I believe fruitandstrength eats much less than Michael (TheFruitarian), even though he's much larger.
what about B12?
