Posting this mostly expecting wolfballs to critique it, apparently there is an ultramarathoner on this diet - I guess they get protein from seeds in the fruits, and mostly eat fruits and some veggies?

Again, personally I endorse this only as a temporary thing, I don't know how long it can be sustained for a lot of people. I think it overlaps with another religious fast that came up in discussion called "xerophagy", which is a raw fruits / veggies / seeds fast that I think it only supposed to be temporary for lent or maybe for committed religious people.

My friend was a fruitarianism till last year. She told me how sick she was of the crazy sugar intake, and how she was craving fats badly. She is back to being a normal person now. Lol

Also know lot of Indians go on the diet, for short terms. Religious fasting kind of deal.

I like the idea of veganism from a self-sufficienty perspective though, like it can take less resources to grow food than growing meat, but it seems like a trade off of health (which might be ok in certain circumstances if again done for spiritual reasons). And can lead to various deficiencies. So I'm not really pro-vegan except for periods of time, I think a little meat now and then at intervals is probably optimal (I don't know what size of intervals could be sustained well).
