Fruit is a very healthy part of a BALANCED diet. Notice the word balanced, because a frutarian diet is not balanced. I'm with Bleckie on this. I tried a fruit only diet once, and must say my blood sugar was just as expected, very high. Natural sugar means nothing except it comes from a whole food, it still is a simple sugar that if you eat too much of it you will most likely develop insulin resitance over time. The funny part is that the people who believe a high sugar diet to be healthy, are the exact same people who will say a high fat diet is unhealthy. I believe fruit to be very healthy, but it should be limited to an extent. Will you lose weight? Most likely. Will you feel good after 30 days on this? Perhaps. Is it healthy for extended periods of time? Not a chance. Sugar, no matter where it comes from makes your pancreas produce insulin, because we can only have a limited amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. The more often you raise insulin levels, the more resistant you become to insulin, which in turn leads to diabetes. Will that happen over 1 month? No. Over a lifetime? Most likely. Try it out, monitor yourself, and see how everything goes. As for me though, I tried it, and got very negative results, and science feels the same.
