Fruitarianism is a dietary practice that involves eating only fruits, nuts, and seeds, and sometimes vegetables. While there are many athletes and bodybuilders who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, it is less common to find those who follow a strictly fruitarian diet, as it can be challenging to get enough protein and other essential nutrients from fruits alone.
That being said, there are some notable athletes who have tried fruitarianism or incorporate a significant amount of fruit into their diet. Here are a few examples:
- Michael Arnstein – ultra-runner and endurance athlete known as “The Fruitarian.”
- Grant Campbell – former competitive bodybuilder who has followed a fruitarian diet for over 10 years.
- Freelee the Banana Girl – a popular YouTuber and social media influencer who promotes a high-carbohydrate, fruit-based diet and often showcases her fitness and bodybuilding progress.
- Tim Shieff – a professional freerunner and former winner of the TV show “Ninja Warrior UK,” who follows a mostly raw vegan diet that includes a lot of fruit.
- Sam Feltham – a personal trainer and nutritionist who set a world record for eating 50 bananas in 17 minutes and follows a high-carbohydrate, fruit-based diet.
- Chris Kendall – a raw vegan chef and fitness coach who advocates for a diet based on whole, raw, plant-based foods, including fruits.
- Dr. Douglas Graham – a chiropractor, raw foodist, and author of “The 80/10/10 Diet,” which advocates for a low-fat, raw vegan diet consisting of 80% carbohydrates, 10% protein, and 10% fat, primarily from fruits.
- Anne Osborne – a raw vegan athlete and author who has completed several ultra-marathons and advocates for a fruit-based diet.
