Do you share the philosophy of fruitarianism, even if your diet now does not only consist of fruits?
I share the philosophy
What type of diet do you currently adhere to, do you drink water?
I am a vegan. I drink water
Since what year/month have you been on this type of diet?
Since February 2017, I removed meat from my diet. At the same time, dairy products were also reduced. Since March 2023, I left only plant foods in my diet and became a vegan
What led you to this way of eating, what inspired you?
These were the times of university (2nd-3rd year). The first "love" and breakup, after which I had an emotionally difficult period. After a couple of weeks of suffering, I pulled myself together and the thought came to me: I need to develop! This switched me to another mode
I went to my brother to talk about alternative ways of earning money (remotely, via the Internet) because I did not want to work in my profession. I wanted to find something to my liking. During the conversation, we moved on to other topics, where I learned about conspiracy theories, lucid dreams and much more. My brain was bursting with curiosity, I became open to any, even crazy information. So I began to rethink everything official and, of course, got to the topic of nutrition
For the first time and in more detail, I heard about another type of nutrition from Viktor Efimov. After him, I listened to Roma Milovanov a lot, and then I learned about Dima Kutny, who became my main speaker on nutrition and other issues
Once I was driving with a friend in a car, we were talking about different areas of life, we were already in the know about many things... and on some kind of courage the idea was born to abruptly give up meat. It was 2017. That's how my changes in nutrition began
To sum it up, the turning point was the breakup, and the inspiration was the desire for a different, healthier and more conscious life
And what continues to inspire now?
People who have recovered from diseases and improved their health
What difficulties did you face along the way?
You had to not just believe (like in school) new and contradictory information, but delve into the topic yourself, back it up with logic, common sense and experience, in order to explain to yourself how everything works and why it is closer to the truth about what real health is. You had to review and analyze a ton of information about nutrition and more. This painstaking mental work rewarded you with realizations that changed your life for the better
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?
Nutrition gave you lightness in the body, energy, activity. The thought process became clearer and better. I started keeping my Instagram, opened up and met many people who shared my views and values. Later, I made a video on the topic of nutrition, which revealed the whole deep essence of this process. Many people liked it. Inna noticed me and I joined the Urban Fruitarian team
What has changed, what has become better or worse. How did you feel physically before and now?
Before changing my diet, I almost did not associate my condition with what I was eating. I did not even notice slight background discomfort and perceived it as the norm. And after switching to vegetarianism and adding more fresh plant foods to my diet, I noticed that I began to feel much better
The most important thing is that I began to get sick less often. Having removed meat from my diet and greatly reduced dairy products, colds almost ceased to bother me. If I did get sick, it was extremely rare and did not last long
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?
I do not eat only fruits yet. The transition is on pause, but it will definitely happen
What is your deep motivation to stay on fruits or on your diet?
A different quality of life. Health, longevity, sobriety, purity, ease
Your mission in life
Still searching, but it is connected with the formation of order in any system and space
Your main life motto
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are
What advice would you give to people who want to switch to fruits, but do not dare or do not succeed?
Listen to the advice of those who have switched
Your favorite fruit recipe or favorite fruits
Avocado, cucumber and tomato salad, finely diced. And when you eat it, you must wash it down with orange juice
Important, what else would you like to share
At the very beginning of the journey, I unlocked such a skill as awareness. Thanks to it, I learned to be aware of my actions, be in a clear mind and get out of autopilot. Then critical thinking appeared. With it, it became easier to recognize truth and lies. I began to form my picture of the world. I became a powerful filter of everything that happens around me. I began to feel like a creator. I could think more broadly and deeply. It was a successful update of the entire system and it continues...
