Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to the Frugivore Diet. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member).

I'm an American man, 48 years old, living and working at an organic farm owned by a Buddhist temple here in Thailand. I'm more interested in Zen though, than Buddhism. I've lived in Asia most of my adult life, about 22 years. I've been eating mostly raw foods for about 17 years. I'm not thriving so I'm looking for advice. I want to gain weight. And, I want to see what this is about ... eating THIRTY bananas in one day is something else.

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?

Someone mispelled my name in the Facebook URL. Help ...? I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU ALL EAT! I wonder if your 30 per day are cavendish, the big ones that most people in many countries simply call "bananas" or if you're getting smaller ones. I live at a farm owned by a Buddhist temple in Thailand. In a few months there will be lots of bananas and papayas, and next year there will be more fruits. This farm is less than a year old. Like I said above, I WANNA GAIN WEIGHT. I get quite a bit of exercise from the farm work so I'm supposing I don't need to do exercises, but who knows. Also, I'm sure I get enough calories, though I just might be wrong on this one. I WANT TO THRIVE IN LIFE. I realize that there are many people whose lives have improved enormously. Mine has improved, but nothing like ENORMOUSLY. I realize that food isn't the only thing to address. I have started to get more sleep because I realize this is important, and that I haven't gotten enough sleep for many years.

The Frugivore Diet is a fruit-based vegan internet community which promotes a high carb fruit based vegan lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to this. Nor do we allow endorsement of non-vegan items or practises which involve the imprisonment, exploitation, abuse or murder of sentient beings. We also require our members to post with proper netiquette. Therefore, please indicate your intention:

I will comply because I like totally agree with all this
