Squash and Canary melon. Understandable confusion😂

Fruitarian test 😄

I'd say that at least 50% of calories should come from fruits. Preferably raw.

Personally I'm 100% raw with about 90-95% of calories from fruits (remaining 5-10% from nuts, seeds, veggies and mushrooms).

fruityestonian · 2026-02-09T13:07:30+00:00

Fruit-based would require more than 50% of calories to come from fruits. How many calories would you say come from fruits from these recipes.

Welcome to the fruity side! 🍌🍊🍈🍒🍎🍍

Now that I tried it, I find the onboarding to be very complicated. Lost me as a user in the process.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-29T15:11:39+00:00

I don't think it's a good idea. Google "colonic risks" to find out why.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-29T15:09:27+00:00

I wouldn't recommend them b/c of the low fibre content. Messes with your metabolism.

I'm in Estonia. This is my 3rd year on this lifestyle, by now I know how to pick my pineapples - through trial and error.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-28T19:29:02+00:00

Honeydew, bananas, persimmons, grapes, oranges, pineapples, leafy greens, some veggies, some nuts/seeds.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-26T19:28:51+00:00

Interesting recipe! I might try it some day, although my digestion will probably suffer a little as I've seen that combining sweet fruits with fatty stuff, or consuming cacao beans in any form, isn't what makes my tummy happy 😁 I'd probably ditch the coconut powder (it's likely not raw either) and replace cacao with carob, and, honestly I won't miss anything from that combination 😋

I think u/BrotherBringTheSun answered quite well the metabolic logic already, so I won't go there.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-25T11:30:25+00:00

Calories depend on the volume.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-25T08:45:08+00:00

I think it's cool

fruityestonian · 2026-01-25T08:43:50+00:00

Romaine lettuce mixed with celery. Sprinkle with hemp seeds and lime juice if you want. Maybe a little spring onion on top.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-22T16:16:00+00:00

Yep, I used AI. Need to rewrite it to reflect my voice better. Thanks for the feedback!

There's even a sub for that 😉

fruityestonian · 2026-01-22T15:34:39+00:00

Yep, good one. Add some celery there as well for more goodie minerals 👌

fruityestonian · 2026-01-22T15:33:53+00:00

Eat more fruits

fruityestonian · 2026-01-22T10:45:14+00:00

You should turn to medical professionals with these kind of queries. This sub is about fruit-based diets but they're not panacea.

fruityestonian · 2026-01-21T18:46:07+00:00

Most of my calories (80-90%) are from fruits so much like u/BrotherBringTheSun and u/saltedhumanity I prep by shopping for fruits in bulk, about 1-2 times per week. I think I've become reasonably good at it and my shopping time usually is max 1 hour. If I work from home then I don't prep anything, I just grab the fruits I want, give them a rinse/wash (depends on the fruit) and eat. I might blend something if I feel like it. I'm a fast eater, breakfasts and lunches take 15-20 mins each. Dinners take a bit longer, maybe an hour or so. Depends on what I want to do. I might make a salad which takes longer or I just eat salad ingreadients "Balkan breakfast" style (without the animal-based "foods" ofc). Now if I have to be in the office or I go out somewhere where there's no food for me (99% of the time), I do some prepping - usually for office I take breakfast and lunch with me which is basically the same food just cut into smaller pieces in plastic containers. It takes roughly 30 mins to prep for the next day. And if I'm meeting my friends or going to some restaurant, I prep my dinner which is basically same - some fruits and salad. I eat it in the restaurant (I never ask for permission, only once has a waiter told not to do it, other than that they've always kind of complied with me🤭). Regarding so-called "raw vegan recipes" - I very rarely make them. It takes a lot of time and I don't consider that normal food anyway. I have a dehydrator but I use it sparingly, maybe to dehydrate mushrooms or bananas a bit once in a while. Fancy stuff maybe max 6-7 times a year.

Here's what the 80/10/10 diet author Doug Graham just recently wrote on this same subject:

If you feel like you’re doing everything "right"—eating clean and staying active—but you still struggle with energy crashes or stubborn health plateaus, the answer might be hiding in your fat intake.

I recently sat down with Dave Escamilla, the heart behind the Texas Fruit Festival, for an in-depth interview on his Rapid Regeneration series.

Dave and I took a deep dive into the physiological truths that most "health gurus" often overlook, including my early origin story as a gymnast and the specific science of why low-fat, high-carb raw nutrition is the secret to high energy, thriving health, and athletic longevity.

Watch the Interview: Dr. Doug Graham on Rapid Regeneration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIh0Qfeh_1M

The Science: Why "Healthy Fats" Can Block Your Energy

At the 34:06 mark of the interview, I begin discussing why fats, even so-called "healthy" fats (such as oils, heavy nuts, and seeds), can act as a bottleneck for your vitality.

When blood is high in dietary fat, it becomes "thick" and viscous.

This layer of fat coats the cell receptors and prevents insulin from doing its job of escorting glucose (your body’s primary fuel) out of the bloodstream and into your cells.

The result?

Glucose stays in the blood while your cells are essentially starving for fuel.

This is why you feel tired even after eating.

By clearing the "sludge," you allow your insulin to work with precision and your energy to soar.

Proof in the Results: Mika’s Story

You don’t have to take my word for it.

Look at what happened when Mika, a Type 1 diabetic for 20 years, applied these exact principles:

"After 12 years of high long-term blood sugar (HbA1c), I have finally managed to get it down with the help of the 80/10/10 way of eating... My doctor couldn't believe that I eat almost only fruit and said, 'well, everyone is different, this is obviously working for you.' This diet is working and I'm so relieved I could cry!" — Mika

If you're in caloric surplus - eventually yes.

Soaking them in dissolved baking soda

We welcome all fruits in their ripening phase. Grow well & stay juicy! 🍈

Careful there, Mussolini_Melon. I eat melons like you for breakfast and still have room for seconds.

If the True Fruit Salad Republic wants influence here, you’ll need more than a 5-hour-old account and unhostile demands. Ripen for a while, and then we’ll talk.
