@Rico
I am a long distance runner – I need to be skinny to perform my best.
It all depends what’s your training is like.
Lift weights and you won’t be skinny.

Hey Michael~
I've been linking food to my emotions/health issues for several years now (i'm 28) and have known it's definitely some sort of spiritual path. I went raw but got ill from all the heavy nuts and oils, etc in the "gourmet" stuff. I've been pretty much at a loss until I saw your website and started reading about 811 diet. I was so confused because some raw foodists say not to eat a lot of fruit because there is "too much sugar" that amplifies candiida. It's true that fruit makes me a bit bloated when I eat it but it just seems so much more natural to me. Plus I think my body will need to adjust to it. You are lucky you have a supportive wife. I feel so lonely being on this path because not many people get it. Most guys I meet are still in the sexual mindset and don't understand my "diets" although they aren't diets to me they are lifestyles to health and spiritual growth. Anyway, it gives me hope to read about websites like yours! And also I'm excited to have the energy to start up running again. Been out of commission for about 3 years, but love to run. Okay thanks, bye

Hi Michael,
I'm been searching the web for a while and it is disheartening to see so much negative with the positive. I'm angry because I don't know what to do. Both sides have valid points. Fruitarianism seems great, wonderful and easy. Just pick it up and eat it. No prep, no wait time. I love that. Then there's all this advice on how it's bad to eat just fruit… lose muscle blah blah blah…
Makes me want to ask you about your physique. You look really skinny; and I dare say almost concentration camp skinny. Comments? What do I do If I wanted more muscle on me? Will fruit and veggies be enough? Would all I have to do is consume more and more?

hey mr fruitarian..

cool site…excellent vids,youre a real inspiration!!

im in the process now of starting this way of life, just sourcing some quality organic fruit out,but jeez its so deer!!! im living in ireland and i reckon the fruit here is the most expensive around:( i used to live in south africa and the fruit was dirt cheap and plentiful and good quality….might just go back just for the fruit oneday.lol….

when i talk to people about this way of life, they look at me like i'm bonkers at first….probably cause they think its only eating apples and oranges.lol….they forget theres millions of fruits around…..some of which most people dont even know are fruits (e.g tomatoes,cucumbers,avos etc etc)….before i start properly debating with people, i always mention a whole list of fruits to broaden there horizon:) …
once i become a proper fruitarian, walking the walk,my goal will be to turn random meat eaters into fully blown fruit eaters in 10 minutes….lol…..pay it forward:)

keep up the good work:)

@Michael Lanfield
I have to include conventional fruit in my diet for the sake of variety. Otherwise I am stuck with citrus, apples, pears, bananas and dates for most of the year.
The most important is to make sure that the fruit is completely ripe and tastes superb.

You should be able to find place where you can buy a box of organic bananas – they are probably the cheapest organic fruit by calorie.

Hi Michael. I love your work and am so inspired by you and Durianrider. Just wish you used the word vegan, as fruitarian diet is basically a vegan diet. Do you buy organic fruit?
I tend to eat more fruits now thanks to people like you. And I feel better. In my area raw organic fruits are expensive… I know you don't live in my area, Toronto, but where to get cheap organic fruit?

Hello just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I have the anne osbourne book and you inspired me to read it from cover to cover. I would so like to be fit and healthy. Thanks for all your effort in getting this information across and the clip where you put fruit into the boot of your car is a classic. All the best!

I am young, only 19, but I have already come to understand that the "normal" American diet is terrible for health. It makes me sad because so many people I love are victims of misinformation and will not listen to me about nutrition. They will continue to eat delicious but toxic junk food, but I have been gradually improving my diet. No dairy or wheat, except for the occasional slip up, and not much meat, mostly fruit and vegetables. It is amazing how much better I feel and operate on this type of diet !! But enough about me, I want to thank you for posting your videos. Your enthusiasm has encouraged me to go the extra mile and become a full out fruitarian. Since I am starting at an early age I hope to reach new levels of health that I never knew possible!! With fruitarianism I will live to be 150 years old !!

Mike, thank you.
This information is priceless to me.
Today, I have started a fruitarian diet.
My life is good now and I'm looking at a fantastic future.
Keep inspiring people through your amazing physical accomplishments.
There are no limits,
Mike

I've been wondering about all fruit diet for ages. Sick to know you can just eat fruit.
