Day 16: The Fruitening
Day number 16. Only 4 1/2 more to go. It wouldn’t be so bad, but I end up eating the same thing day in and day out. The monotony is a lot harder to deal with than anything else. Smoothie for breakfast, fresh fruit for lunch, avocado for dinner with dried fruits and nuts with [...]
Day 15: The Fruitening
I was looking up more info on Fruitarians now that I’m in the home stretch and it looks like I’m in the same company as Leonardo DaVinci. Here’s the only “famous” fruitarian that I could find. Actually, more accurately, I should be associated with Steve Jobs and Gandhi since they were both fruitarian for a [...]
Day 13/14: The Fruitening
Yesterday was the day I had been looking forward to for weeks. Not only did we have amazing vegan tacos provided by Asà Soy Tacos!, but we were also invited to an excellent vegan potluck. The main issue I generally have with potlucks is that most people don’t like to cook. You will go to [...]
Day 11: The Fruitening
I’ve made it half-way and to celebrate I went out and had a veggie burger! Just kidding. I’m still sticking to it. Smoothie for breakfast, Larabar for a snack, fresh fruit for lunch, avocado for dinner w/tomato juice and some dried fruit. There’s certainly not a lot of variety in my routine. I found a [...]
Day 10: The Fruitening
Ten days into this fruitarian diet I think I’m finally starting to get used to it. When I got home tonight, it was the first evening that I didn’t really crave something salty and actually wanted another fruit smoothie. I ended up having some dried fruit that was around and a handful of nuts and [...]
Day 9: The Fruitening
I’m pretty unsure about a lot of the claims of this diet, but the one I do believe is that you feel better when you wake up in the morning. I don’t know if it’s just eating a healthier breakfast, or eating breakfast as soon as I wake up versus waiting until about 9 AM [...]
Day 8: The Fruitening
I didn’t have a chance to write yesterday since I was too busy eating my weight in Tofu Pesto Sandwiches and Dee’s Nuts Donuts. It was absolutely fantastic. Around midnight my stomach was absolutely wrecked, but it was completely worth it. Today I felt great. I started the day with another smoothie. Even when I’m [...]
The Fruitening: Day 6
Tonight at the grocery store when I was picking up avocados for dinner I was really tempted to cheat with something warm, or at least salty. We were out running errands and the only thing that was close by was a Jamba Juice. The last thing I was interested in on a cold winter night [...]
Day 5: The Fruitening
Now that I’m into this for 5 days I’m really not feeling “the benefits” outlined on The Fruitarian Foundation’s website. Their first claim is: More mental power, more mental clarity with new and total different ideas, more creativity and happiness, more energy, rejuvenation, increase of auto confidence, auto esteem, and freedom from the affective dependencies [...]
Day 4: The Fruitening
I’ve been vegan for 16 years so I’m pretty used to the “you’re crazy” comments I get when explaining my diet, but it’s been interesting having to deal with the newness of all the “you’re absolutely batshit crazy” comments I’m getting about my three weeks of fruitarianism. It’s a lot of explaining why which is [...]
Day 3: The Fruitening
After yesterday, I didn’t think there was any possible way I was going to be able to last 3 weeks on this diet and an even bigger tragedy would have been if I was put off of avocados for life. I’m glad to report that I’m feeling much better today. This morning I was running [...]
Day 2: The Fruitening
I’ve decided that if I’m going to survive for three weeks on a fruitarian diet, I’m going to have to find a great smoothie recipe that I can use on a daily basis otherwise it’s not going to happen. Today for lunch I tried this recipe off of the Fruitarian Universal Network website: CUCUMBER SALAD [...]
