What is a mono fruit ?

[@harvdog5669]

How much weight and fat did Eli loose over 6 yrs eating fruit.

[@harvdog5669]

Ladies,, what do you two eat ?? I eat veggies cooked & Raw, Fruit, Berries, Organic beans, mixed unsalted nuts..

[@GillianBerry]

@@harvdog5669 mono fruit is where you eat only one fruit - so the same fruit for either a meal or a period of time

[@GillianBerry]

@@harvdog5669 what I eat varies but typically a variety of foods starting with juices or fruit or smoothies in the mornings and working my way into bigger salads etc in early afternoon - I typically consume 2500 to 3000 calories a day I eat 100% raw

I agree with mono fruit and performance. I have the best hikes when I'm on fruit juices, or mono fruits, like dates. I'm talking about full day, high altitude, 40 lbs on my back hiking steep rugged hills. Fruit gives you the most energy/power because it's so easily and cleanly assimilated and used by the body. Using green juices, and small amount if seeds, only adds to the benefits imo. But good to see Eli proving that fruit, even from Canadian stores is still an optimal food source for our body.

[@GillianBerry]

💯 yeah fruit really gives so much energy !! That's when I have my most high energy on fruit, which I eat all morning till lunch and then sometimes do fruit mono cleanses !

[@joyceobeys6818]

And chew on the long pine needles for energy also n then spit them out or make tea. But we just chew them. A bit Bitter but excellent for energy.

[@supralevamentum223]

Yea thats my concern, is the Canadian fruit in the stores seems to suck!! some of it has no taste... i wish i can get fresh tasty fruit.

Goodness gracious now this interview…I didn’t know of this brother until you mentioned him; then I searched your channel to see if you had an interview with him. I must say sister…right off the back, there is something really encouraging and also re-assuring about just looking at the brother but then to hear what he is saying. Thanks for interviewing him. Funny; or strangely, he actually looks and sounds just like how I’ve envisioned myself looking and sounding like. Actually, he looks and sounds like….🤔 well…it’s like a vision of me looking at my own self; like…me in some way. Right now I look like a wolf because I let all my hair grow everywhere on my head. Lol. But when iam all shaved up and skin headed like that, it’s like that. Maybe I’m not making myself as clear as I’d like. lol. I don’t know his spiritual belief or his faith but to some degree, I can see myself in him; I’m also into boxing and martial arts. Yeah if we ever met you’d know what I mean. But what I see him in is, a me, completely successful. In my life I’m still struggling and going through battles and I haven’t really reached that place yet . So I’m envisioning myself having already reached the top of the mountain by looking at him.

[@jtubelee]

The top of the mountain meaning: getting to be consistently successful within the faith that I have together with just eating fruits and greens. Getting to where I can be where God is longing for me to get to be during this life so I can then do what He really wants me todo.

You're all beautiful. Thank you for this interview. I came here via Vegetable Police. In case you do a second interview, I'd love to know: 1. Where does Eli buy his fruit in Toronto? 2. I find much organic fruit doesn't get ripe so does he eat non-organic for much of his fruit? 3. How many times a week does he buy his fruit? (Sounds like he has a car so maybe he can buy enough in one trip.) 4. Does he have any suggestions for fruit ripening? 5. Any teeth or gum issues? 6. I was surprised. It sounds like he doesn't have to eat much. Did that change over time, did he initially have to eat more? 7. Did he encounter detox symptoms?

[@miste.remusic]

spinach, parsley, cilantro are all totally enjoyable on their own for me

[@TheFreeMelonSociety]

Most people who enjoy these things will say something to this effect yes. of course when tasked with making a meal of JUST cilantro, or JUST parsley (as seems to be the case throughout the natural world), or JUST any culinary flavor enhancer,....it is at that point generally when the realization i refer to kicks in. A grazing herbivore, can dine on grass all day every day and be perfectly content. If we were to attempt this with the purported enjoyable food (cilantro), we would be hit inevitably with the reality of cilantro's insuitability as a prime element of diet. Taking the same example from the fruit world, one could take JUST grapes for many weeks, and be in radiant health, with great satiation. A Mono-cilantro eater would take no such satisfaction from each meal, and not do nearly as well. Even though we might say "i like the taste of cilantro".. it's almost a sure fire guarantee that not once in the lifetime has that very person ever come home from a long day of work, famished and hungry, and eagerly loaded up a mixing bowl full of plain straight cilantro. A curious thing. On the other hand, you could definitely do this with plain straight (insert fruit of choice). Lastly, i think we would be lying to ourselves if we were forced to choose between a meal of mono cilantro, and a meal of mono (Any fruit). As humans, your taste buds will inevitably prefer the taste of a food that is more calorie concentrated. We barely have a choice in that matter, that's how the taste senses work. It's why obesity is problem. ----- NOTE ** None of this is being said to dissuade the use of cilantro, or parsley or spinach.. Pleeeeease please please don't mistake my intention. I've written this here not to discourage the use of healthy plants in the diet. I've written this so that we reconnect with what our senses AAActually reveal about the food we eat, and so that we are not under any delusions about what exactly we are. Does that make sense? I've added parsley and cilantro to maany many dishes before, and have no problem recommending them to anyone wanting to get healthy. These are very nutritious elements of the diet and well get you well. They make perfect flavor enhancers for sauces, salads and soups. What i have definitely Never done, nor ever will do, is Make a meal of a massive bowl of plain parsley. (nor will anyone else likely) All i'm doing is framing the concept so that we have a better idea of who and what we are with no cultural misconceptions. God bless my friend! enjoy!

[@miste.remusic]

thank you for writing. I had a gf who was the only person I ever saw eat mono cilantro basically lol. My friend and I joked "Handfuls of cilantro" whenever we needed a laugh. I agree with you wholeheartedly, and actually had a massive bowl of grapes TODAY when I came home lol. Peace be with you.

[@paulavandiver453]

They are very dry. All dis-eases are caused from toxicity and dehydration. They actually have toxins, as all herbs and vegetables have. Water rich lettuces have the least toxic effects, which is why some fruitarians make that exception.

[@MsSheilaC]

@@TheFreeMelonSociety love your thoughtful replies thank you

[@whodathought6001]

This was very informative. I do have a question though. When I try to lower my salt intake, My BP drops dangerously low. I do already have a very low BP. Do I still need to faze out salt? Will my BP change after going fruitarian? (vegan for over 15yrs)

[@GillianBerry]

I am fully raw vegan and consume salt ! I fine celtic sea salt to be the highest quality ! I am guessing if you fazed it out completely and ate a clean diet with sources of sodium like celery etc it would balance out ?! If I remove it completely I don't have any issues but I do currently add salt to dishes and love it 😊

[@lifechoices7869]

So what do eat if you live in a northern climate and there is no fruit? According to seasonal availability?

[@GillianBerry]

i don't think Eli has ever struggled with that here in Canada ! neither have I as a raw vegan ! great stuff like citrus, grapes, apples etc in season in fall and winter ! and for me i add in some staples like bananas etc and love the winter as a time to juice cleanse as well for a period ! xoxo

I could splurge and do a tropical fruit salad in summer with the most amazing exotic tropical dragon fruit - fresh coconut - durian - mangoes - bananas of course - with sprinkled coconut water. Or how bout a melon salad with every type of melon I can get locally.

Gillian, I think you are in love with Eli. Love can’t hide.

[@GillianBerry]

[@jtubelee]

Ok going on hearing him speak I sensed that we don’t have the same faith but I still like the interview. I just wondered if we were possibly of the same faith but…yeah. Really interesting and informative. So howabout water ex ex like, does he have anything else at all besides fruits? Does he have more videos?

[@GillianBerry]

yes he has tons !! he is on KZbin under the freemelon society (eli martyr)

I see you look great the 3 of you. And that ayurvedic approach against raw food resonates in me as something so less true to hear. The 3 of you have a glow I wish I had. Wish you the best always.

Do you offer one on one consultation?

[@GillianBerry]

Hi Celia! I am considering doing that because a lot of people have been asking...I will keep you posted!

[@kittybeck151]

I had a friend once who was a fruitarian - fruit is very sugary & rotted his teeth. He went through a lot of pain & he had a horrible time.

What about a really high quality organic decaf coffee? I don't drink coffee for the stimulation and the caffeine I just like the flavor, I am caffeine free but I drink an organic Swiss water decaf

[@GillianBerry]

I get it ! I love the flavor and miss coffee sometimes ! But I personally feel way better without it even if it was decaf just because I feel so so so good all raw but if you feel good on it then that's all that matters you gotta do what you love and what works for you ! ❤️

[@natashakramer4411]

@@GillianBerry yes! I feel that caffeine kills my adrenals but decaf feels fine..sometimes you gotta pick your battles ❤

Try dandelion root tea. I replaced it with coffee = it’s great

Holy molly! Eli is 38? For a caucasian guy who is 38 and looks like he's 25, mannnnn! I'm going fruitarian now. Really!

[@GillianBerry]

yeah he really looks awesome in person!

[@donnieflowers8276]

No shame on his power of attraction. It’s evident. Thanks to him for his discipline. And I know he appreciates the love and praises for it.

Do you ever put salt on your watermelon or any spices on your fruit and vegetables?
