Fruitarian Diet

I was listening to TM and he made a brief comment about how our ancestors ate mostly fruits and insects which got me thinking
is it possible to live off an entirely fruit based diet? the insects were obviously a protein source and I'm not even aware if any fruit contains protein I'm also sure the high levels of sugars might be unhealthy
this is mainly a "what if" thread but I would love to cut back on processed foods and eat healthier I find it extremely difficult to do and I think vegetarianism is foolish and as it currently stands I eat almost no fruit but I could see this as being a much more appealing option

The body is a remarkable thing. I watched a programme about a woman who has only eaten crisps for the last 30 years.
She was fine, though her skin, hair, nails and teeth were horrible.
I think she'd have faired better on fruit-only though.

so it IS possible then? I assume it's all the sugars that make them fat? although nut do contain large amounts of fat
could it also due to the fruits/nut that they have access to? I mean a diet of coconuts might fare differentially than one of bananas or pomegranates

An all fruit diet would make you somewhat starved for proteins and essential amino acids, not to mention fats (you do need some fat in your diet) methinks. A good balanced diet is the wisest course. And a lot of folks could do with eating more fruits and veggies, but don't go overboard on one particular class of food.

I'm curious as to why you think vegetarianism is foolish but you are willing to possibly eat an all-fruit diet? The latter seems far more foolish to me. At least a vegetarian diet allows a great range of diverse foods, something that all nutritionalists agree is the foundation of any healthy diet.
As far as what makes Samoans fat, I really wouldn't take the idea that they eat nothing but fruits and nuts as any kind of fact. Nor would I accept such an argument about our ancestors without seeing a lot of evidence.
Why do you find it so difficult not to eat a lot of processed foods? God knows there's enough information available. Is it a time issue?

samoans are fat from eating the white mans food for so long for example, if you were to look at the original sketches that were made on James Cooks ship when they first discovered the hawaiian islands. the islanders were depicted as very lean healthy warriors.
an all fruit diet wouldn't be very healthy, mainly due to lack of fat, and to a much lesser extent amino acids.

well it depends more on the "why" that I find foolish the people who clam they are doing it for health reasons than have to take hand fulls of supplements 
I dated a girl for awhile that was veggie and was willing to compromise but that brings me to my next issue, I don't like most vegetarian meals it's not that I don't like vegetables but most dishes have chick peas or mushrooms or a handful of other thing I don't like because they contain the missing nutrients
I don't think I'll ever give up any one food group it's just an idea I'm tossing around but to do it for a couple of months each year could be an option

Some notable advocates of fruitarianism, diets which may be considered fruitarian or lifestyles that, in part, included an all fruit diet have included August Engelhardt,[34] Arnold Ehret,[35] Raymond W. Bernard,[36] and Anne Osborne.[37][38] Essie Honiball[39][40] also adhered to a fruitarian diet for some time. Others such as Ross Horne[41] and Viktoras Kulvinskas[42] appeared to only describe the fruitarian diet.[43] Some, like Johnny Lovewisdom, experimented with different diets, including juicy fruitarianism,[44] liquidarianism (juices only),[45] vitarianism (fruit, vegetables, raw dairy)[46] and breatharianism.[47] Others like author Morris Krok, who at stages during his life, lived "only on fruits",[48] allegedly advised against a diet of "only fruit", [49] although it was subsequently reported that Krok's diet consisted of "just fruit",[50] with dietary practices of fruitarians as varied as definitions of the term 'fruitarianism'. Diet author, Joe Alexander lived for 56 days on juicy fruits.[51]
[edit] Historical figuresMohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a political and spiritual leader of India, sustained a fruitarian diet for 5 years.[52] He apparently discontinued the diet due to pleurisy, a pre-existing condition, after pressure from a Dr. Jivraj Mehta.[53][54] Ben Klassen, white supremacist, founder of the Creativity Movement,[55] and author of The White Man’s Bible, advocated a fruitarian diet to include fruits, vegetables and nuts.[56] Idi Amin, the Ugandan military dictator, became a fruitarian in Saudi Arabia during retirement.[57]

It is actually very easy to get all the nutrients you need from a vegetarian diet. A vegan diet is harder, but vegetarianism is very easy. Even in a vegan diet however, the only supplement that is necessary is vitamin B12. There are plenty of B vitamins in eggs.
Of course you have to be willing to eat the right kinds of foods but that's always true.
