I love the fruitarian diet and I don’t have an issue with science, but sometimes science does not match up with common sense. Moreover, sometimes uncommon sense is what ends up making the most sense over time.

Fruitarian Diets Stand at the Top

As you have seen from my past videos, I have been studying diet intensely over the last handful of months. I became a vegetarian a few years ago, then a vegan half a year ago, and eventually made it all the way to the raw vegan diet and the fruitarian diet.

People think that my fruit based diet is extreme, or ineffective, but I have heard other people complain about all sorts of diets, vegan or non-vegan. What I like about the fruit diet the most is that it is simple, probably the simplest diet there is, aside from eating mono-meals or just drinking water.

We could certainly get into the argument that some diets work for some people and other diets don’t. I think there is some amount of truth to that, however, some diets, to me, make no sense at all. Diets where we need to count calories, or take all sorts of supplements seem to be unsustainable and somewhat unnecessary.

I am not saying all supplements are a waste of money or that none of them work. What I am saying is that a diet that depends on supplements is not sustainable nor natural. It also ain’t simple since it forces people to be slaves to the routine of taking supplements.

Fruitarian Diet: Simple and Effective

There are other examples of diets that are not simple. The omnivorous diet is another great example. People think that the standard american diet is simple and that anything outside of that is an effort. That is why they tend to see fruitarianism as an extreme approach to nutrition without any scientific merit. However, supporting an omnivorous diet is unsustainable over the long run, both in terms of health and the environment.

Think how easy it is to walk to an apple tree, pick up an apple from the ground and eating it. It takes not time or tools whatsoever. No washing, no cleaning, no packages… Now think about a stake, you got to raise the cow, kill the cow, clean the cow, cut the cow, cook the cow and then clean up. How simple is your diet?
