Popular Diets - The Fruitarian Diet:
A number of people consider themselves to be fruitarians even if their diet is not 100% fruit. Such individuals usually follow a vegan diet. When discussing food, the term "fruit" usually refers only to those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy (for example, apples, plums, and oranges). Botanists consider other foods such as bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, nuts, and grains to be fruits.
Some fruitarians restrict their diet to fruits that fall, or would naturally fall from a plant. The idea is to eat only foods that can be harvested without killing the plant. Such foods are mostly fruits, nuts, and seeds. Some fruitarians do not eat grains, believing it is unnatural to do so, and some feel that people should not eat seeds. Others believe they should eat only plants that spread seeds when the plant is eaten. Still others eat seeds and selected cooked foods. Additional diet options include beans and peas, green leafy vegetables, and root vegetables.
