I would agree with that.  My focus was probably incorrect as I have read or learned about a lot of diets, my thought that this is more or less a fruit only diet.

That's all good. But i am pretty sure a nutrivore diet is almost as healthy... bc that is lean meats and fatty meats but all natural... with a raw veggie and fruit diet. I guess it just adds meat to the diet you prefer but no processed stuff. It makes me feel the best anyways. There just isn't any proof of it yet since it hasn't been studied like the latter has. One thing i found interesting about cutting meat from your diet is that you would age slower. There is something in meats that promote the aging cells or whatever. But i'm Persian and we age well in general so i'm hoping my genes can step up for me there. You might be interested in these Podcasts... they just happened:

This is a raw foods guy vs. a meat promoting guy:


These are two scientists that are studying diets like the keto diet and the other guy has a cool eat whatever diet with the caveat of keeping track of what you eat: 


The second one will give you all the information on what we know about meats so far from studies. The first one you might like bc it is a debate bw a meat eater and a vegan.

Did you know that a frugivore or raw foodist falls under the category of nutrivores? however the funny thing is that supplements mimic what is in fruit. That's why I supplied that link that showed all the nutritional components of fruits. So the difference is that a frugivore doesn't need to take supplements they get all that from the raw fruits and veggies.

Nutrivore-
"A nutrivore is a person who understands the health producing and disease preventing power of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and accessory micronutrients) and strives for micronutrient sufficiency through their diet and supplementation program.
A nutrivore lifestyle can be achieved regardless of which dieting style an individual prefers to follow. Whether following a vegetarian, vegan, low carbohydrate, low fat, Mediterranean, raw or any other type of dietary philosophy, a nutrivore chooses to eat micronutrient rich foods, reduce their EMDs and fill in their nutritional gaps by taking proper supplementation."

Thought you might find that interesting, that what I'm saying in this thread falls under that term.

Yeah okay, if you really want to eat meat at least do meat and fruits like you said, maybe cut back on starches, processed and junk foods like you said and definitely no dairy or cheese.....if you did that you would be pretty ripped, I was always kind of muscular shaped but now I am a lot more defined. You could also eat salads but please lol, if you do the carnivore diet don't eliminate fruits, if you must eat an acidic diet make sure you have the alkaline chemistry to bring in for balance. 

It makes me feel the best anyways. There just isn't any proof of it yet since it hasn't been studied like the latter has. One thing i found interesting about cutting meat from your diet is that you would age slower. There is something in meats that promote the aging cells or whatever.

Yeah because like I said, that dern meat is acidic in nature and it has a breaking down tissue effect, aging, dehydration. I mean really, you're eating tissue, cells and blood......it is dead flesh, on top of that you cook it, so any living quality that may have been there is now chemically changed. Once you cook something you mutate what it was you were trying to get from it. So now, you've cooked the dead flesh and now your body has to break all that muscle and tissue down just to receive an acidic kick/ash lol, just seems totally opposite of fruits which are healing and naturally beautiful and delicious as well as anti-aging.

But i'm Persian and we age well in general so i'm hoping my genes can step up for me there.

Wow, we do have a lot in common. I'm half Persian and Caucasian.

Why eat fruit?

"Fruit is a great source of fiber, nutrients like vitamin C, and offers antioxidants that can reduce inflammation in the body. Eating fruit on an empty stomach can allow us to take in as many as these benefits as possible."

"Fruit has been recognized as a good source of vitamins and minerals, and for their role in preventing vitamin C and vitamin A deficiencies. People who eat fruit as part of an overall healthy diet generally have a reduced risk of chronic diseases."

" The nutrients in fruit are vital for health and maintenance of your body. The potassium in fruit can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Potassium may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss as you age."


"Eating fruit provides health benefits — people who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases."
  • Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have cholesterol.
  • Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).
  • Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.
  • Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber.
  • Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.
  • Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.

Health benefits
  • Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
  • Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.
  • Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
  • Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss.
  • Eating foods such as fruits that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.



"Eating fruits regularly benefits your body as they are natural sources of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body."
