At the age of 86, the fruitarian pioneer, Essie Honiball talks about the benefits of a fruit diet.

[smileyraw]

she looks so healthy!!!

[jpastuch]

Wait this a woman?! Holy shit I thought this was a dude until she said "my late husband".

[gringolazlo]

@jpastuch Her gender is mentioned several times in the intro you dumbass redneck.

[jpastuch]

@gringolazlo Is she your grandmother or something? Why are you so cranky?

[jgfergus]

@ScottishMexicanGuy

Your Granny grew up in a time without much junk food, less pollution, better soil, more physical exercise, less radiation. She most likely has a strong genetic makeup received from her parents. She has lived a life that allowed her to maintain high nerve energy which allows her body to easily rid itself of the waste products of poor food choices. She has lived to 102 in spite of eating tacos & fajitas, not because of them. Hope she lives another 20 years!

[mylinks55]

Heya... Have you ever tried out DietOramy food plan (just search Google)? I have learned of a number staggering materials on it and in addition my step-brother got rid of a huge amount of extra pounds using it.

[SYONBD420]

hey hey! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my work buddy lost tons of weight with it....

[sounderBluki]

[laCruz40oz]

@sounderBluki in a nut shell shes saying that mother nature wanted her dead, but she punched her in the face and eats a ton of fruits. RESPECT

[bkershaccount]

[loui0008]

@bkershaccount She's referring to papaya.

[bkershaccount]

@loui0008 thank you!

[APrettyRawesomeGuy]

@bkershaccount she eats cops

[keyofdavid888]

@APrettyRawesomeGuy LOL (if only!)

[nobbilc]

@bkershaccount paw paw aka papaya

[werewasyo]

@bkershaccount "poopoo" its...you know...

[Redflowers9]

She's talking incredibly well for 86. I've just started this diet and my ability to think and feel good has never seemed better.

[11113390]

Ive heard some incredible things about it and my father lost lots of weight with it.

[pagalley1]

She's beautiful, inside and out...Fruit is what we should eat as much as we can of, because it's so nutritious and, even better, is delicious.

[Everybodyallatonce1]

newsflash dear- GOD is LOVE and GOD doesn't hate anything.

[JackHu1000]

@Everybodyallatonce1 Didn't the bible teach people to hate what is evil? God hates sin!

[healthyone100]

theres is nothing wrong with vegan diet i have been one for 25 years but i'm also a christian and what gets me mad is that we don't give thanks to the one that has given us thesethings QUIT focusing on ourselves and start focusing on the one that gives us these things and stop being self centered GOD HATES that

[jungledrumnbass4ever]

is this doug grahams wife?

[lovsoup]

Soy milk = estrogenic and processed at such high temps destroying nutrients = junk food in soy package. Avoid soy milk, especially men & women who have high estrogen becuz it's estrogen

[lovsoup]

FRUIT INCLUDES.... Avocado, Coconuts, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and of course the sweet fruits

[keeyk118b]

surely a fruit only diet cannot provide any b12.

[Mekelsior]

@keeyk118b No diet provide B12 :) it is bacterias that produce B12, most people get enough B12 but some of them have a problem with abosrbing it. Check out dr Doug Graham and his explaining of it, part 6 on the rawkaton.. :)

[keeyk118b]

@Mekelsior b12 is found in animal products meat milk eggs and esp liver. animals like cows get their b12 from bacteria in hind guts.bacteria in out gut does have b12 but we cannot absorb them. i am going stick to eating some meat and milk 3 times a week.

[Mekelsior]

@keeyk118b The problem is that we some times have difficulty absorbing B12 so it does not matter how much B12 we consume. Why is 40% of meat eaters in the US low in B12? In any case, milk is among the most unhealthy thing you can consume, that and its bi products.. so perhaps ditch only the milk? :)

[keeyk118b]

@Mekelsior that is worth considering. will drink soy milk instead.

[5tonyvvvv]

@Mekelsior I lost 40lb and feel amazing! Doctors just want to keep us sick!! and sell us pharmaceutical positions!! and cut us to pieces! Great Vid!!

[keeyk118b]

i am going to go on a fruit , lean meat and vegs and milk diet for 2 weeks. no grains no potatoes.

[Mekelsior]

@keeyk118b ditch the meat and milk and eat as much grains and potatoes you want, they are both starches and very healthy. =) Check out John McDougall for the explaination and the science why.

[lovsoup]

@Mekelsior do that and blood sugar crashes... not good even if grains or potatoes are mixed with veggies... make me sleepy & tired (signs of low blood sugar) ... high carb not good for everyone

[tzuiop]

@lovsoup These are not fruits. Try to eat raw fruits. Watermalon, grape, orange, apple, pear, peach, etc and one of the best, wich has high carbohydrate level is bananas, but bananas has lower glychemic trshold, than pastas or rice!! . Try it and you will feel the difference, like me.

[lovsoup]

@tzuiop Where do you get your B Vitamins from on Fruitarian Diet? I recently added Bananas to my diet and now my size 6 pants/ shorts are feeling tight. I was supposed to be going down in size so i can lean up with fitness... i do think High glycemic fruits affect people differently depending on how their metabolism/ thyroid/adrenals are working. No grains for me :) Grain & Dairy free help PMS the following month too

[tzuiop]

@lovsoup You can feel how good the raw fruits and veggies, if you lose all the cooked foods, diaries, grains, etc. I think you can get enough B12, if you eat enough veggies. I do not care so much about counting everything, just try to eat different fruits and veggies every day. In worst case I will eat B12 vitamins in capsules. :) But there is a better answer in Doug Graham's 80/10/10 book. Read it. VEry good book! Bananas are one of the best raw energy food. About 800 kcal in 1 kg of bananas.

[lovsoup]

@keeyk118b I'm doing that now with goat yogurt / goat cheese and feel better. Goat milk is less inflammatory and goats are more limber than cattle too (they have less calcium)

[keeyk118b]

@lovsoup thanks for the info.

[lovsoup]

@lovsoup I have since given up ALL DAIRY incluging goat... it was inflammatory in the end. I agree with avoiding dairy. just read an article on how dairy free diet helps prevent tonsillitis and breathing problems in kids too

[MrMaryJanes]

@keeyk118b Milk and lean mean will only decrease your health over time.

[keeyk118b]

@MrMaryJanes you sure ? my grandparents ate lean meat daily and they lived to be nearly ninety.

[MrMaryJanes]

@keeyk118b I'm sure. Just because your grandparents ate meat doesn't mean it's healthy.

[Jordonification]

@keeyk118b diet isnt the only implication on health. your grandparents were probably physically active and got plenty of sleep. Also it was a different time with plenty of fresh air and not as much stress for some people.

[Jordonification]

@keeyk118b starches are what the longest lived civilizations thrived on. a fruit and veg diet alone is great but meat and dairy is what you should be eliminating.

[adrygarcia]

she only eat fruit or also another grup of food.?????

(I' m spanish and I can' understand the full the video)

THANK YOU

[rawfood777]

Powerful!!!

[adrygarcia]

Inspirating, and his skin is really great at 86 !!!!!!!!!!

[blackbear52able]

@adrygarcia I think Essie's a female

[rainbowsalads]

i like the 'seasonal way of eating' the lady suggests. : )

[RawBrilliance]

Ahh, my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

auggiedoggy , only if you get mor than 10% of your calories from fat. Otherwise the cells are coated and they can't get the insulin to deal with the sugar. The human body runs on glucose, esp the brain!

[zuphu]

@RawBrilliance that doesn't mean it's healthy to consume over 100g of sugar(fructose) in 1 sitting. The amount of sugar we need for the body to run is very small. Saying the body runs of glucose is true, but your statement is misleading. Are you an 811 follower?

[Mekelsior]

@zuphu The body runs primarly on sugars, it needs very little protein and fat. =)

[samherb1]

@Mekelsior Tell that to an Eskimo

[RawBrilliance]

Ahh, my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misscollegechick2009]

I wouldnt necessarily call her the pioneer.. there were many others before her who lived this lifestyle, and cured themselves and others of many disease's.. but i will say she looks great.. im currently transitioning into this lifestyle.. extremely hard, but i know in the end it will be worth it!! =)

[juliegroenewald]

Amazing what fruit can do for you!♥

No one can improve on sweet juicy miracle fruitilicious fruit made in paradise and given by our Creator as a perfect diet.

:+)

xxxjules♥

[auggiedoggy]

Such a high sugar diet will mess up your lipid profile. A high fructose diet means high triglycerides. I also wonder if those teeth are her own. Humans are not frugivores nor are we herbivores. The ideal human diet includes meat, poultry, fish, etc plus some plant foods.

[kingmu1]

@auggiedoggy I think that you need to do a little more research before you state that the ideal human diet includes meat, poultry, fish....

[auggiedoggy]

@kingmu1 : I do know this - the ideal human diet isn't a fruit-only diet. Persoanlly, I don't eat a lot of meat but I do eat it and it is mostly lean meats. Fish and poultry mostly with unlimited vegetables and moderate fruit intake. Fruit is fine but eating only fruit is insane!
