How to Become a Fruitarian. Fruitarians eat only raw fruit and seeds, both for their health—they
think cooked food is toxic—and for the environment’s, since they believe that eating vegetables
“kills” the plant. You will need Discipline and lots of raw fruit, preferably organic.
Step 1. Ease into fruitarianism by starting off with fruit for breakfast, and then slowly
begin eliminating meat, dairy, grains, etc. until you are eating raw fruit exclusively.
Step 2. Eat only one kind of fruit at a time, and wait at least 90 minutes before switching
to a different type of fruit. Step 3. Eat only when you are feeling hungry and stop
when you are satisfied. Step 4. Technically, raw fruit includes things like olives, seeds
(such as pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame), and nuts, like almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews,
and so on. Just make sure nothing is roasted. Botanically, nuts are classified as fruits
because they develop from pollinated flowers. Step 5. Eat as much fresh fruit as you want,
but limit the amount of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit that you consume. Fruitarians recommend
starting the day with the juice of 3 to 5 lemons or as much melon and/or melon juice
as you like. Step 6. Don’t drink. That’s right—fruitarians believe that if you’re
eating the proper amount of fruit, you shouldn’t need to take in extra liquids—even water.
If you’re fasting or really thirsty, drink fresh fruit juice. Step 7. Do not eat anything
between midnight and 3 a.m. except passion fruit, which reportedly induces sleep, or
lemon juice. Did you know Some fruitarians eat only fruit that has already naturally
fallen off a plant.
