Fruitarian

//__** Fruitarianism **__//



__What is it?__ So what is Fruitarianism? Well, Fruitarianism is a known diet that requires the subject to eat raws fruits at least 75 percent of their diet/daily intake, the other 25% percent of their diet is allowed to be of vegetables, or nuts, but only once in a while are they eaten because their goal is for they most fruits as possible in their percentage daily intake. They must continue this repetition throughout the time that they have chosen without eating any poultry, grains, and the least vegetables they are able to eat. It is even more restrictive than veganism or raw veganism.

__Advantages__ There are many advantages and disadvantages of this particular diet. An advantage to this diet is that it cleanses the body of all the toxins, this is because of the nutrients in most fruits and vegetables. Secondly, it helps to make the digestive system function smoothly, resulting in weight loss. Since fruits contain a lot of fibers and water, it helps reduce weight, helps reduce cholesterol levels and makes the body healthy. However, following a fruitarian diet for a long period of time my be unhealthy to the body system because of the unbalanced diet.



__Disadvantages__ Disadvantages to the Fruitarianism diet are that the subject would get addicted to sugar. This is because of the intake in sugar which may lead to diabetes in the future. Another disadvantage is when the subject comes to the stage where a lot of weight is lost, then he/she would be in big trouble. The reason that this is so is because it is exceedingly hard to gain weight on a fruit diet, and when so this may lead to loss of appetite and may lead to anorexia. For the people who live on a tight budget, the Fruitarianism diet can be really expensive due to the soaring price of the fresh fruits.

__Why Fruitarian?__ Most people go on a fruitarian diet to loose weight or a short-term body cleansing of toxins which come from other types of food. However, most people decide follow a fruitarian diet only for a SHORT-TERM.

__Origin?__ The fruitarian diet has been around for hundreds of years and probably longer. In his writings, artist, scientist, and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) indicated he was a fruitarian. __My thoug__ __hts__ In my opinion, I would not support this diet for most of the world's population, it is because we would have to consume more than 75% of fruit in our diet to be a fruitarian which. Although it is healthy in some ways as fruit is easier to digest than poultry, however it is unhealthy to a very high extent in the aspect of having a balanced diet, due to the loss of various grains and protein consumption in the body. Without enough carbohydrates from grains, and protein consumption in the body, not enough energy would be supplied in order to maintain a healthy body system. The only main power source from these fruits is the adrenaline of the sugar rush in the body, in which sugar is a power source that creates fast energy, but runs-out very fast. My recommendation on this diet would be to only follow part of the diet in consuming fruits, since fruits and vegetable help to improve the metabolism in the human body, but also consume the same as before for other types of food in the daily intake

Problem: There are many restricted diets existing in the world today: There are many people who have restricted diets in our community. Many foods on the NIST campus do not follow the person's dietary requirements. This is the reason why some people bring their own food to school because they cannot have the school's food. According to the survey that we sent out, 7 out of 30 people (23% of the NIST Yr9 community) follow a diet. The data in the survey tells us that some restricted diets such as; dairy free, vegetarian, sugar free, and low carb, are very popular amongst the Yr9 NIST students, whilst restricted diets such as Halal, Eat well apple, and GE free are only known by some, and followed by 6% of the community. However, although most students in the NIST Yr9 community claim to know what many restricted diets are, and many follow them, I believe that they do not know what these restricted diets are in depths according to what they have answered in our survey. Such as 10% of the Yr9 NIST community follow a sugar free diet, this is merely possible for children this age, since they need extra energy to learn and go to school, or play sports. I have also tried to track the reliability of the survey data by asking the nationality of the of the student answering the survey, those who would try to ruin the survey would answer countries like Afghanistan or Burmese, but there are no NIST Yr9 students from those countries. I would then delete all the data in any of the field answered by those users. We then tried to track who they were by tracking the IP adress to the internet server/area in which they used to answer the survey. After that Brief: There are many restricted diets existing in the world today, however, many food providing companies do not have food available to suit the various types of restricted diets. Furthermore, to solve this problem we will create a Wiki page that will contain recipes for dishes that would fit in a chosen restricted, hence provide advice and recommendations in following the chosen restricted diet. Specification: __Wiki:__ __Dishes:__
