Fruitarians eat only raw fruit and seeds, both for their health—they think cooked food is toxic—and for the environment's, since they believe that eating vegetables "kills" the plant.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Discipline
Lots of raw fruit, preferably organic

Step 1: Ease into it

Ease into fruitarianism by starting off with fruit for breakfast, and then slowly begin eliminating meat, dairy, grains, etc. until you are eating raw fruit exclusively.

Step 2: Don't mix fruit

Eat only one kind of fruit at a time, and wait at least 90 minutes before switching to a different type of fruit.

Step 3: Eat only when hungry

Eat only when you are feeling hungry and stop when you are satisfied.

Step 4: Supplement with nuts and seeds

Technically, raw fruit includes things like olives, seeds (such as pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame), and nuts, like almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, and so on. Just make sure nothing is roasted.

Tip: Botanically, nuts are classified as fruits because they develop from pollinated flowers.

Step 5: Limit nuts and seeds

Eat as much fresh fruit as you want, but limit the amount of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit that you consume.

Tip: Fruitarians recommend starting the day with the juice of 3 to 5 lemons or as much melon and/or melon juice as you like.

Step 6: Limit liquids

Don't drink. That's right—fruitarians believe that if you're eating the proper amount of fruit, you shouldn't need to take in extra liquids—even water. If you're fasting or really thirsty, drink fresh fruit juice.

Step 7: Fast at midnight

Do not eat anything between midnight and 3 a.m. except passion fruit, which reportedly induces sleep, or lemon juice.

@Morainehills

Yeah, that isn't correct. Even on a fruitarian diet, it's good to drink water. But with fruitarians, not as much is needed throughout the day because they're already consuming water from the fruit.

Lol do you really think belive that meat is the only protein source? How the hell does all herbivore creatures survive then?

And bread/pasta, how many animanls need that to stay healthy?

[diANASOURRrr]

I LOVE fruit but I would never do this, not even veggies? Lol

[ancientrussian]

After 2.5 years of being vegetarian, I switched to fruitarianism And I'm Happy! ;D

[latdero]

this is closer to an eating disorder than a food diet choice...



[UmbreonAndEspeon1]

I am vegan, but I will NEVER become fruitarian.

Time to eat some stew!

@xaznboixd I want to do this.

[1madaboutguitar]

The long term effects of this diet are yet to be discovered. Consuming such high amounts of fructose is devastating to your liver. That said, the fruits themselves will help negate some of those effects but still...

[xaznboixd]

Why would you wanna do this? D:
