Hello friends!! Where's the notification squad at?? What diet should I try next? 🙃😍💜😘

[@kennycybertron1]

Michelle Khare Hello Michelle, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I have been doing the KETOGENIC diet / way of eating + intermittent fasting and I have dropped 72 lbs since Sep 20th,2017. It has changed my life. No more medication for high blood pressure, no more bad back, knee pain, hip/joint problems and my hair/skin are simply glowing. I feel so healthy and clear headed. GO FOR IT !!! Thank you

ashley croff agreed! It very much seemed like a collab that wasn't noted in the video. The fresh food is amazing, no doubt, but how did she do it?! I live in Canada, we don't have access to fresh produce farmers markets all year long, it's not a sustainable diet much like her other "fad" diet videos.

true that^ there are so many solutions like this... growing more jackfruit trees can literally solve world hunger in some third world countries because it's such a calorie-dense, productive tree. personally I think more calorie-dense fruit agriculture can drastically change the world.

OK re: banana ice cream. You were just shy of blending it to make it magical. Here's what happens when you make it: it starts off looking kinda rough and you're like "where this this going, it's never gonna get there" and that's where you gave up. BUT if you let it go just a bit longer, it'll turn way smoother and nicer. Just have faith that if you keep blending, it'll hit this magic point where it turns.

[@Driveontheroad]

I really admire Michelle's respectful attitude and am glad she enjoyed the week but...fruitarianism is extremely difficult to get right. *And I say this as someone who eats a vegan diet*. The chances of you getting enough calcium, iodine, selenium and the necessary amino acids on a fruitarian diet is very slim unless you are really careful about it. Not to mention, it is far too expensive and wasteful for most people. I sort of wish it wasn't conflated with veganism because it makes people think veganism is more restrictive than it is. Eat a varied, cooked vegan diet with lots of whole grains, vegetables, fruit and legumes, some processed foods here and there, supplement for B12 and you'll be good.

[@therobin980]

Lexy Klein i agree. I don't think people should limit themselves too much.

[@ushiozaragoza4069]

Fruitarian is extremely easy and doesn't cost that much money. Raw vegan is extremely easy as well. Just don't eat shit that robs you of your vital minerals. When I fasted I became faster. Fasting is the fastest way to health. Juice fast, water fast, dry fast. It really is not that hard.

[@theindigopapillon3495]

@@ushiozaragoza4069 Not sure where you live, but where I am, fruit and veggies are super expensive, even buying conventional over organic. Then try the fact that anywhere up north, the fruits and veggies are sprayed with wax to preserve them, or they are half rotten and lacking nutrition from the amount of time it takes to ship them around the world. If you live in a warm climate where they are actually grown, then yes they are nutritious and inexpensive.

Such a coincidence. I've been doing this same diet for over a week. Eating only fruits, with some corn, accompanied by drinking lots of water. No added salt into my corn, and no coffee or other drinks expect water. I stopped 2 days ago and I saw myself improve because of the diet. My acne has surprisingly gone down and I've been less bloated. It was pretty easy for me since I've been constantly busy this past week and so I didn't have too much of a chance to think about cravings or other food. It's honestly a good diet to try.

Kaldel Katz cooking vegetables can lower the Nutrients so technically raw food is healthier because it has more nurtrients but I know what you mean

[@kaldelkatz3987]

Angharad's Opinions Although there is some truth to that, if you eat raw, you unnecessarily restrict foods like lentils and peas (legumes), which can't be eaten raw, even though they are very healthy, and foods like pasta, pizza, tofu, whatever, that aren't bad for you, but taste good, and would help you stick to the diet.

[@angharad.9743]

I can never stress this enough: YOU DONT NEED MEAT TO GET PROTEIN!!! Our society is way too focused on protein and we consume much more than our actual daily needs. A normal person needs like 50g of protein per day. Good luck getting a deficiency, because that is very rare. Here are the 10 fruits highest in protein. If you eat enough fruits everyday (like fruitarians), you'll inevitably get enough protein for the day: thewww.healthaliciousness.com/articles/fruits-high-in-protein.php Other than that, I love this video and the optimist attitude you had from the start, compared to all of the Buzzfeed videos in which people are complaining, disgusted or comparing with meat (instead of appreciating the new flavor) from the start

[@gmc___]

Julie Daignault I do agree on you with that you don't need meat. But a quick glance on that article shows you can't get all your protein without exceeding you caloric needs. You definitly need beans in your diet if you're vegan. The fruitarian diet is completely based on pseudo science.

[@gmc___]

*your

[@SarahOpossum]

Your article says the highest protein fruit is guava, which provides 8% of your daily need per cup. So Michelle is supposed to eat 12-13 guavas per day?? And when she does her exercise challenges and is building muscle she’d need to eat even more than that. Fruitarian is healthier than the American diet but it by no means allows you to get all the nutrients you need.

[@juliedaignault5178]

ok guys, I'm not a fruitarian, I'm vegetarian (so I eat vegetables, nuts, beans, etc.) and I'm definitely not an expert in this field. I didn't mean to say that being a fruitarian is an ideal diet, nor am I saying that it isn't because I don't know enough information about it. All I meant to say is that most people don't know you can get a lot of protein from fruits, not just in meat. If your diet is well balanced and if you inform yourself before turning to fruitarianism, I'm sure there is a way you can get all the nutrients you need in a day, even if you work out like Michelle. I'm not here to argue with people and I'm sorry if I made it look like I fully supported this diet. I'm not informed enough to say it's a good or bad diet.

[@Kapitannikova]

I live in Siberia and it's impossible to live without meat. Protein is an essential for keeping our bodies warm and when it's cold all you want is food. Like we have fruits and vegetables but it's usually from Turkey or Morocco etc. These are full of chemicals and probably have no vitamins left because no organic products would survive a trip from Turkey to Siberia. And exotic fruits like mango, guava, lychee etc cost an arm and leg. And how am I supposed to have a balanced diet without meat? Oh and I'm allergic to fish. No hate to vegetarians, I really wanna be one of you one day, but I just wanted to let you know that not all of us are lucky to have nice fruits and veggies all year round

How often do you have to eat a day if you're only eating fruits and vegetables? How many calories did you consume a day? You briefly mentioned the headaches from the sugar but I wish you gave more details. This is a nice video and everything, but ultimately not helpful at all.

Fruitarians eat whenever they are hungry and stop when they are full. Counting calories is not necessary! Vegetables are also not necessary. Humans are fruitarians like primates not vegetarians like cows and horses and elephants. Humans can eat some vegetables, but they take much more energy to break down and digest and should NOT be eaten in combination with fruit as it can cause digestion issues like gas etc. As far as her buzzing head, I would guess she was experiencing mild detox symptoms. Anyone going from a standard American diet (or even a standard vegetarian diet) to eating 100% fruit, will most likely experience mild to extreme detox symptoms. Fruit is a natural astringent that pulls out toxins in the body while nourishing our cells and alkalizing our bodies (lowers inflammation aka acidosis). This is why so many people have been known to cure fatal illnesses on a fruit based diet! Late reply but I hope this helps!

Hey I really recommend checking out Tanny Raw on KZbin! She shares a ton of information and recipes.

[@ROWGAMEROOM]

@@AubreyJuliet fruits have calories and if these people eat when ever they are hungry then they can still gain weight and fat.

[@vinetail5735]

@@AubreyJuliet look, you should not have toxins in your body. If you did, you would be dead

YASSS ROBBIE! Slay that Type 1, vegan life!

[@SarahOpossum]

It never said that he himself is type 1.

[@MissMeaganJ]

Type 1 diabetes is when someone's pancreas doesn't work to produce insulin. Type 2 is when the person's pancreas cannot produce enough insulin for their body, usually because they are overweight.

[@fallonstone2080]

Sarah Torrellas pretty sure he is .. he has a lot of videos talking about it

[@sowhat...]

Meggle why are you telling us this?

[@sowhat...]

Sarah Torrellas he might not have said that in this video but he is type 1. He has a channel about all that.

[@eliparker8472]

Wow!! The group of people that were part of this video are incredible!! I was expecting a harsh critique, but it came out amazing!!

Michelle: it’s not just eat apples all the time Me: is eating an apple as she speaks 😂

[@kaseyestella7564]

i love how she has help from a real nutrition instead of trying this on her own and not get enough calories

[@danielbengurion3945]

Where is this wholesale produce market that opens only in the midnight? I need to know.... 25 lbs bananas for $8?! what a steal!!! =D

[@MichelleKhare]

Daniel Bengurion it's in Los Angeles! Google it ! But I believe lots of big cities have them!

[@danielbengurion3945]

thanks, I just found a few.... I need a month supply of fruit for my smoothies! =D

[@pddaawwgg]

Another great video in your library. The only thing I missed out was you trying that durian.

[@muzikae6387]

Yasss! You did a great job on this one!

[@jona2055]

Why would anyone follow this diet. Unless you have access to markets like that it's so expensive, and there is no way you can meet all your nutrient needs like that. Especially minerals like calcium, iron and zinc! It just eliminates lots of healthy and cheap foods like lentils, beans, nuts, avocado, rice and potatoes for no reason.. I would love if you'd try a normal vegan diet, or even a vegan diet for athletes! It would show how delicious and nutritious and "normal "vegan diets can be. Veganism is not limited to just eating fruit.

[@rebeccacorbin1353]

Zep T0 YES PLEASE

[@Driveontheroad]

100% agree with you, I think fruitarianism gives veganism a bad name tbh.

[@inamib.9786]

Completely agree with you, but avocados are also fruits. A lot of nuts and beans are also technically fruits

[@evanbs4500]

they are but u cant cook them

[@jona2055]

@ Inami B. I know, but from what I have seen, fruitarians aim for a very high carb percentage in their diets, like 80 10 10 or 90 5 5 (c, f, p), which would severly limit the consumptions of those fatty fruits , like olives, avocados and so on even though these foods are very healthy and very delicious.

[@Travellingwiththedays]

I love how no matter what you go into every challenge so positively.

[@Funsizeit]

I really love you as a food channel!

[@blurlb]

Me: I could totally do that (Says while eating a tub of ice cream

[@CinemaDoll137]

Me as I eat a bag of doritos 😬

[@davidb.4629]

The thing that people don't understand about this type of diet is that you can eat much more of these foods than you can on a typical American diet and actually consume fewer calories. You should never feel hungry! Many people believe that they can't eat a raw vegan diet because they see the prices at their local grocery stores. As you see you can find these foods for mcuch less but you have to look for the right places to find them in bulk. Unfortunately for people that live in the Northern part of the US it is much more difficult. Don't be surprised if you decide to make this your new diet rather than just for one week Michelle!

[@jodi9361]

David B. Ya I live in Ottawa where it’s currently -40c and this diet would be impossible for me to afford :(

[@themvegan114]

Yeah I’d love to go raw vegan but being a broke student and living in the north it’s a lil hard so embracing the cooked foods! I love going raw in the summer though

[@kortenmary]

Jodi Turnbull just about to say this lol. I don't even like to go outside bc it's too cold. Our fruit is only in season for a couple weeks

[@dani_deer9560]

Yes! I only spend $55 every 2 weeks to feed 2 grown ups and toddler! We eat all the time too! Not tired in the evening anymore, my mommy brain fog left, I lost weight and am now maintaining it by just continuing to eat raw vegan! Skin cleared, my asthma and eczema are easier to control, etc etc! Amazing way to live, to feel so good and get to eat so much good food

[@Thatgirlcodes]

David B. Yes you just have know a good variety to start off so you don’t get bored

[@MoreSaltPlease]

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY 👏🏼 I love that you had Robbie help you through the process. Personally the fruitarian diet doesn’t work for me long term, but I appreciate the effort you put into this and the message behind it. I hope more “buzzfeeders” take vegan food challenges like this more seriously in the future, instead of jumping in head first not know what they’re doing, and giving veganism a bad name.

[@jj.238]

I love this girls videos on a level I can’t explain

[@jazmyneinthavongdy9009]

Persimmons are my favorite!!!!

[@Kesangarangaree]

Do a vegan athlete challenge! Get youtubers like Jon Venus, Nimai Delgado and Brian Turner involved. You can def make gains as a vegan

[@nGH20]

Kesang Gilmore yesss!!!! Then maybe she'll stick to veganism. She seems a little obsessed with protein lol

[@GaryHighFruit]

It's cool to see you reacting the same way I did when I went high-fruit. I'm making a response video, esp good for anyone who wants the benefits of fruitarian without having to restrict as much or learn so much.

[@GaryHighFruit]

My response video just went up. Critique & advice

[@winfinityhealth9910]

Saw it Gary. Another good one.
