About me
What are your hobbies in life, how do you like to spend time?
Being in beautiful places; learning new things; walking with your son; searching for, choosing and eating fruits
What field are you currently working in, what do you do?
I run a channel where I write about scientific research that is consistent with a healthy fruit lifestyle. I have plans to popularize it
Do you share the philosophy of fruitarianism, even if your diet now does not only consist of fruits?
I do
What type of diet do you currently adhere to, do you drink water?
Now I am vegan, mostly fresh fruits, I drink water. From May 2018 to July 2021 I was on pure fruits, I practically did not drink water
Since what year/month have you been on this type of diet?
July 2021
What led you to this way of eating, what inspired you?
It all started in my student years, when I started going to cafes and restaurants - this sparked an interest in food, in studying the topic of nutrition. Then there was Zeland and raw food, then Kutny and fruitarianism
And what continues to inspire now?
Personal experience, studying nature and man
What difficulties did you have along the way?
Social connections (relatives, friends, acquaintances), self-realization (money)
When you changed your diet, what changed in your life - in your self-perception, in your personal environment, in the social sphere, in your work?
With the transition to fruits, a stable feeling of my value for this world appeared, which was previously lame. Friends and acquaintances appeared who shared my new beliefs. Communication with most of my old friends and acquaintances came to naught, at first this was accompanied by an unpleasant feeling of emptiness. During the transition to fruits, I sold my business producing macaroons (cakes with eggs, sugar, dairy), after that I still have some difficulties in finding a new business
What has changed, what has become better or worse. How did you feel physically before and now?
Since childhood, my health was quite weak: frequent colds 5-6 times a year, periodic problems with the gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea). Later, problems with blood pressure, dizziness, frequent nosebleeds, night sweats began to appear.
During the period of raw food, before switching to fruits, there were states of severe weakness and my teeth and gums darkened a little
After the complete transition to fruits, all of the above problems completely disappeared or greatly decreased. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract, blood pressure, bleeding, sweating - completely disappeared, and with them all the pharmaceuticals. At first, my teeth became a little lighter, and then, after a single hygienic cleaning at the dentist, the problem went away and never returned. Colds no more than once a year, which has never happened before in my life. States of weakness appear only during periods of low physical activity
How was the period of transition to fruits at the very beginning? With what diet did you decide to become a fruitarian? In one day or was this path stretched out?
Before the complete transition to fruits, I tried to be a raw foodist for about five years (after reading Transurfing) with varying success. The transition to fruits from the decision to the last breakdown lasted several months
What is your deep motivation to stay on fruits or on your type of nutrition?
Understanding your role in nature, curiosity, physical and mental state
What advice would you give to people who want to switch to fruits, but do not dare or do not succeed?
Study the topic of fruitarianism until you fully understand. Any remaining questions (even the stupidest ones) can be asked to fruitarians in the comments, in chats. Communicate with fruitarians and those who want to switch to fruits, try to make new friendships, romantic and business acquaintances with such people. Do not try to drag anyone from your old circle along with you. If your work is connected with something that contradicts the philosophy of fruitarianism, be prepared for the emergence of internal ethical dilemmas. Perhaps, prepare options for changing jobs.
