Are Greens a Part of a Fruitarian Diet?

Posted: 29th August 2010 by Michael in Exploring Controversies

I call myself The Fruitarian and my diet -- Fruitarianism because most of my calories come from fruit.

I do eat greens as well as the occasional root vegetable and coconuts from time to time.

In my food choices I try to follow my cravings and my instincts. I also pay a close attention to how different foods make me feel and how they affect my body and my performance.

I don’t eat any foods out of fear of deficiencies – either mineral or caloric. I eat what I enjoy eating, what I crave the most, and what makes me feel good.

I think it is very important not to become too obsessed with perfection of just one factor in your health program – such as your diet – striving for 100% fruit or 100% organic.

While a certain degree of dedication is necessary during the transition period , once you are ‘out of the woods’ -- you need to switch your focus to pursuing other things in life that you are passionate about.
