So you've actually seen long-term fruitarians? What is long term?
On the carnivore podcasts, one thing you hear very frequently is long term vegans, who have turned carnivore.
Here's what it usually looks like: their health issues just come to a breaking point, a friend who's a vegan-turned-carnivore encourages them to try it, they do, often have a VERY difficult time, emotionally, starting to eat meat again, but once they do, all their problems gradually disappear.
I've heard a variation of this story many, many times.
I'm curious if there's any version that go the other way....carnivore turned vegan.
I've met two fruitarians who claimed to be several years into it, both seemed healthy and one was very active and fit. I believe both of them but have no idea how that diet works.
I've heard that many carnivores start adding fruit back into their diets to deal with some health issues, but I don't recall what those were.
I don't know anyone who went vegan from carnivore, but I know lots of people whose health improved after going from meat heavy diets to vegetable and bean heavy diets. They mostly didn't stick with those diets, though, so I don't know much about long term ramifications. I'm also aware that there's a categorical difference between a meat-heavy American diet and an actual carnivore diet.
