The fruitarian diet is where you only eat raw fruits. There are benefits in initially like weight loss and looking and feeling younger. However the long term consequences are nutritional deficiencies. You wont be getting the protein that your body needs or the vitamin b12. So if you want to be a fruitarian you can do it for a day, but should not do it long term.
Key Takeaways:
- Firstly, it’s an unsustainable diet. The moment you get off the diet, you’ll put on the lost weight back again.
- Secondly, even if by a miracle, one follows it for years, initially the body can cope with the protein deprivation for two to three months but later due to protein deprivation it will result in hair loss, diarrhea, irritable gut, etc.
- Makhija further elaborates saying that in the beginning, one feels as if they’re on cloud nine, this is an expected outcome of the Fruitarian diet but later, the body will get weary and tired because protein is necessary for basic functioning of the body.
“In the last decade or so, the diets that eliminate an entire food group have become a trend — be it going no-fat, no-carb, no-sugar, gluten free and the likes.”
