Here I explain why I call myself a Fruitarian and how I define the diet.

    Also would love the list of items  – would be a great template to help one get started.

    Hey, I just wanted to say *thank you* for doing what you're doing. I've been raw for several years, but only recently have been converting to fruitarianism. I was influenced by the book, "Fruitarianism: The Path to Paradise," by Ann Osborne, which I see you've read, too. The last step for me is giving up the attachment to avacadoes and to dried fruit such as dates. You're right- they don't make me feel good. I'm curious why you're eat vegetables. I'm not drawn to them. But maybe I just haven't given it a shot recently. Maybe I'll give zucchini or broccoli another chance, I don't know.

    About 4 years ago I adopted a diet for about 6 month just out of convenience of the extremely hot summer in Germany of nearly only watermelon and tomatoes ("nearly" because I ate some other fruits apart from watermelon – but I never ate something else apart from fruits) and it was the time that I felt the best in my life yet (the BEST! – physically and psychologically)
    And that seems to fit into what you were stating in your video here – raw fresh high water content fruits and some veggies. And I'm now about to adopt that kind of diet again because my body just doesn't feel alright with what I was eating in the meantime – I fell into "normal diet" again with the beginning of the autumn four years ago.
    But my main question is: How do you get along with eating raw fruits in the wintertime, when it's reallly cold outside? Does it work? (not getting to feel cold with having about 14°F = -10°C in the winter) I really don't want to have to stick to cooked food, but what can I do/eat when I feel cold because of the weather? (that's meant as a real question not a hypothetical one)

    After a while you actually will start feeling warmer on the low fat fruitarian diet.
    The key to being warm is exercising.
    It will get the blood moving and you will be warm for hours afterwards.
