It's just about midnight and
Yeah, I'm going out to get some food. I think would try to find some pizza or something.
My craving is subsided as this week was going on it got better, but
The end of it like I would love some hot food. I would love something that's got bread in it.
Yeah, now that I'm like so close to the end now, those cravings are coming back and
Yeah, I'm gonna do it so I gotta go out. I'm gonna find some food. I'm gonna wait until
Midnight, just so we're doing it legit and then I'm going to eat that.
People
Fresh mozzarella
It's always it's been around for a while the end of the day
Here just like closing up
cleaning up
I don't care also get a diet coke
Oh Jesus Christ...salt! I miss salt.
I actually feel my eyes like watering a little bit like I'm gonna cry. I'm so happy.
It's not even really good. I know that
Objectively it's not. I've had pizza here before but right now,
this is like heaven.
You better watch out so I don't get de-monitized.
So I want to just take a moment to give a formal apology to
everybody out there for the state of my hair. Oh
my God. I am I
Don't know
I'm sorry.
I need to get a haircut today.
Umm, so I wasn't intending to do a
aftermath kind of video or anything, but
I am noticing like a few things adjusting back. I
ate pizza last night and
went to bed. I was up like late
I was up until like 4:00 in the morning or something and I think that's because of the
the caffeine in the diet coke. Maybe because I just like ate like a whole ton of
carbs also and my body was just like, "okay, well, here's some energy," which totally makes sense.
That's totally my doing. I think that
may have happened even if I wasn't doing this diet. I feel pretty good.
I do not want to eat for like the rest of my life right now because of all that pizza that I ate. I think
that is partially because of the
adjustment,
but could be wrong. I think it is.
I think just like that's very it's very heavy on my system after taking a week-long break of eating nothing but light things and
I just made a cup of coffee,
which...
amazingly like my craving for this coffee is not nearly as much as it
normally would be.
Usually like I wake up in the morning,
I'm like, the first thing that I say is like "coffee" and I like go over and I make a cup of coffee and...
Yeah, so like I didn't really feel the urge to drink this but I felt like...
like, like this is what I usually do.
I want to see what's like to get back into it. But the the urge to drink this coffee is not huge.
So I think I like if you have a coffee addiction or something like I did then
taking a week off just forcing yourself not to drink any caffeine and
It'll help. Ya after like the third day wasn't it wasn't like killing me
um, and now I'm like not guzzling that down, which if I
was to know that, I
on my like first day doing this and I'd be very surprised because I was like
crawling up the walls for coffee when I first started doing this and...
Yeah, that's that's fun. I'm addicted to caffeine. I think that's something I'm learning here. I think I'm okay with that.
I enjoy coffee and I enjoy tea.
I like the varieties out there and all of that. If I've learned a few things from this past week,
I was drinking a lot of coffee. I was drinking like...
not like as much of some people but like like two cups a day three cups a day maybe and
that's not good. There's...there's other ways to get energy. I think that are a lot...that I like better. Because for me
I think like one cup of coffee is where I'm going to come...like leave it and
you know, I don't want I don't want to get that addiction to be as strong as it was.
Tea though...I think, I don't know. I like tea. tea's supposed be good for you, right?
Maybe I'll cut down on tea too - I don't know.
I think that um, I don't want to I don't want to be like crazy addicting to things.
That doesn't seem like a good thing to do,
but I also don't want to cut things out of my life entirely that I enjoy.
Also doesn't taste that strong
I feel maybe it's just like how I made it or maybe my tastebuds are all like shot out from eating papaya,
but I feel like I should have made this like twice as strong as I did.
Um, I don't know. I don't know why but it actually tastes a lot weaker than it normally would.
Still good, though. Oh and I forgot yesterday in my conclusion to add another pro to being fruitarian and um...
yeah. How do I say this in a way that will give it the dignity in class that
It deserves? It is
Mmm good for your digestion,
but for anyone who might have like trouble like in that department;
It's pretty extreme to like go and like get like
devices in order to solve that. I think that it might be your diet.
I don't know. It might be some clinical thing, also. I don't know. I'm not too
sure. I'm not a medical expert here by any means, but I would recommend trying it
because like I noticed a difference like oh my God.
It's so I think fruit has has a lot of water in it. It has a lot of fiber in it.
So I mean do math like that is going to make some magic happen. I do see a lot of pluses with fruitarianism.
I worry that like yesterday I was being a little too harsh or be interpreted that way
but
there are pros to it for sure.
It just doesn't really work with the lifestyle that I have and like the things that I am passionate about.
So yeah, I don't want like crap all over fruitarianism, especially after being on like a fruitarian diet for a week. I
Think there are some
serious benefits to it.
But yeah, it just didn't really work for me.
So I wanted to answer some of the questions that people have been giving me on on YouTube. Before I jump into that though,
I have to show you guys something.
Look what came in the mail...
Yeah!
These are the...I can't fit it all in the shot. Wait.
No, can't. I need to get a wider lens. These are the new
weird fruit explorer shirts. This is a
Mandrake root and this is actually an image from the
1400s. I think it was fourteen ninety.
That's what people thought that Mandrake roots were. That actually like through being spread around so much like rumors
ended up like morphing the root into like
actually looking like a person. People thought was that if you pull the Mandrake root out from the ground,
the root would scream and kill you.
So people would devise all sorts of like crazy methods to get the roots out without being harmed. Really interesting stuff
I would recommend like looking...like doing a google search on some of the mythology because it's like a super bizarre and
It has a fruit. So that's why I chose this image for the shirts.
So if you are interested in one of the shirts, I'll put a link below about that, but I'm just happy about it.
I've gotten a lot of questions of people
asking what were the first things that I ate and you saw that it was pizza and a diet coke and oh my God...
So good.
After that was coffee and toast and then I just resumed eating like normal things.
There was not...I didn't...I was expecting to have like a whole week of just like binging and blah blah blah
but after like having that first taste of pizza and my first coffee
I just like went back to like how it normally was for me. I'm reading from my computer over here, so
If you're wondering why I'm showing you the side of my head,
this is why. Okay, Amy says "what was your favorite fruitarian meal that you had during the week,
and did you try a combination of foods like the date cocoa bean that you wouldn't have thought about before but will definitely
making again?" I
Yeah, the the date and cocoa bean thing I have done since the fruitarian at week ended.
That's like, it's kinda like a snackie thing. I'll just kind of like grab now, which I never did before,
but I think like my favorite thing that I had during the week
was not that because that's just like a snack but as like...as like a meal I would say probably the zucchini noodles,
which is surprising to me because I don't really like zucchini.
I like...I like that because it felt like a meal, you know?
It felt like actual like "this is a dish that I you know prepared."
It's not just like cut-up fruit or blended fruit or raw fruit in my hand. It's like
actually prepared it felt like I was like you have to eat it with a fork, you know
It felt like I was eating something other than a fruit...
even though it's just fruit
Noug-gat zoars...?
I don't know how to say that.
says
How did you come up with the smoothie recipes?
Any tips on making good combination? I kind of just like through whatever I had in there.
I put...I went to the store bought berries that I liked and you know, fruit that I liked and I just like threw it
In there. A banana makes it creamier. That's always good. The jalapeno thing...
that was a good idea. Especially if you're going fruitarian and you need like a little kick.
I think that peppers can be utilized in sweet things really well.
no-face 69
"Oh-Boy, do I have a lot of questions? Do you think this diet would be viable still nutritionally if you
haven't...if you didn't take supplements every day?" I mean I take the supplements every day regardless of fruitarianism.
I don't know. I think there's a lot...there's some controversy about it. I've been as having people online saying like "supplements
don't do anything," but like I
Really notice a difference when I take those ones cuz they're like full of B vitamins.
I'm kind of glad that I took supplements just so like I like I knew my energy levels would at least be
Okay. I don't know what it would be like without.
Although actually, on my fifth day, I didn't I forgot to take my supplement. I forgot to actually mention it in the video.
That's how much I forgot. I took a supplement every single day except for day 5, and
If you remember from Day 5 that's basically the same as any other so I didn't really notice a huge difference from not taking it.
Ok, noface69 asked me a lot of questions,
but let me see if I I'll...I'll answer one of the other ones that he put in here or she...
or they...
"Do you think this diet could be possible in a restaurant setting?"
Like a full entire restaurant devoted to fruitarianism,
I think would be a very bad business model, but like in a raw food place that has a...
like a separate section for fruitarians would be kind of nice.
I mean I would have gone to that for this week,
but fruitarians they make up such a very very small percentage of the population,
so I don't think that there would be a demand
to have a restaurant that did this. There are things that you can make with only raw fruit.
Like, you can make a lot of like soups and stuff. You can make like a gazpacho.
You make guacamole.
You could probably have like some sort of raw fruit base like
dehydrated crushed up
bread sort of thing I guess?
I think you could probably make some stuff if you put like a lot effort into it that someone would want to buy.
Yeah, why not? I think that would work but it would be a terrible idea if you want to make money.
So...gigs asks, "why did you decide to go raw and no salt?"
That's what a lot of fruitarians do. A lot of fruitarians go raw.
There's...I think that's kind of like the definition of...your generic definition of fruitarian is
raw, or like primarily raw and a no salt thing I think is probably more like a matter of debate
on like what kind of fruitarian you want to be. I saw some blog posts and stuff like that, like "I
cut salt out of my diet and now I don't feel poisoned anymore...the poisons of salt" and I
mean I
don't...I don't agree with that. I think you need at least a little bit of salt. Salt's in your body.
You know, you need to helps you rehydrate, right? I mean, that's why I learned in school.
I mean it might be all wrong, maybe like salt is like the devil, but I think it's fine.
I think you need some small small amounts of salt. You don't wanna like overdo it,
but yeah in the fruitarianism though, a lot of people don't have salt at all. They cut it out.
Hairyballbastick, I love these names
Hairyballbastick says "how has your body been affected
after changing your diet from fruit to
normal food?"
Not much of a big change.
You know, I mentioned that my digestion was like
good it with the fruitarianism and
I mean that went back to normal. My skin doesn't feel like clean anymore. So that went back to normal.
I feel overall happier just like
psychologically that I can go out and just like do whatever and eat whatever and explore and try new things like
that. Like the mental side is like way up there. The body side, It's not really that noticeable.
Paula shackle says, "how was your energy levels
during the experiment and how was your sleep?" My energy was fine, but I lost like
motivation. You know just like not having...
not having the things that I want just kind of like made me like
I don't know like a little
Lugubrious. Just like blah like "why bother?" I can't have bread; food is an exciting part of your day,
like what am I gonna eat? Not like that's gone, you know instead is replaced with something that I was not thrilled to eat.
So, because of that, I think like mentally I was just like a
little bit down,
but like physically I feel like my energy was fine.
Uhh, and how was my sleep?
Normal. Luke@asks "I would love to see a video on your reasoning for being vegetarian."
basically, I was raised vegetarian, you know, like I...
Meat is not food to me.
I haven't eaten meat since I was like four... and
I mean, I vaguely have a memory of eating like a slice of Bologna and liking it. Now
meat just doesn't has no appeal to me. I don't like the smell of it.
It doesn't look appealing to me. if someone else is eating it,
I'm like
I have no desire to eat it because I never really have...and in the rare occasions where I have eaten
something that had like maybe some sort of meat product in it
and I didn't realize it like chicken stock or fish oil or something, I feel like trash afterwards. I feel like total
garbage. Any time that I eat something that has meat in it.
I think I just do not have the proper enzymes anymore. I mean all the other stuff like, you know
environmental and ethical and like all of that,
yeah does does play a factor as well?
Not super comfortable with any of that. But the main reason I think is just like it does not...
does not have any appeal, so I don't I don't want it and I don't want to get sick. gracewhy
asks, "did you get really tired of sweet things real fast?" Yes. On day one
I was tired of sweet things like after like my first meal. If you have like a sweet tooth
fruitarianism would be probably pretty good for you. Me, I don't. Like I like sweet things, but like in moderation like I have like...
like a small sweet after I eat something savory,
but like I can't subsist on like a whole meal of just sweet stuff all the time. Renae Benton housen
asks, if I got headaches after not having coffee.
No, actually I didn't, because
before I started the fruitarian week, I did wean myself off coffee. So I used to drink two cups a day or more.
So for like a week
I brought myself down to one cup a day and then for like maybe like three days I switched to tea in the morning and
then I went full fruitarian. So I think because I did it in steps going down, It wasn't quite as shocking.
Relay, or is it Rayleigh? I don't know how to say it. Was it Reelly or Rayleigh?
Ray-lay?
Let me know.
"How much weight did you lose, you know before you shove something in your face that wasn't a fruit or vegetable?"
I have no idea. I probably should have measured myself.
I should have liked weighed myself before doing this diet, but I didn't. I didn't notice any difference.
I'm sure I was getting less calories then, you know my typical diet of bread and cheese but like
it wasn't like in that noticeable. Nobody like
gasped in shock when they saw me. If you take this diet and you are
like average weight or like overweight...you will lose weight. I mean, I I don't doubt that. for me though
like I...I didn't notice anything. JJ Bubba loo asks
"What was your inspiration for the fruitarian stuff?"
I've always been kind of intrigued by the fruitarians because it's something that I get kind of like exposed to
just from being like this sort of channel where I'm talking about fruit. Me, being like a total outside party where I really was not
for or against fruitarianism where I'm like, "I don't care like be fruitarian
I'm not going to...I like bread too much,"
like I felt like I was in a position where I could actually look at it with an unbiased look so
that's why I wanted to do it.
I wanted to kind of like see like what is the fuss about? Is there something to this?
If...you are not
if...
mentally, you're not there. Like if I if you were just like already kind of like looking at it just objectively
is there something there and
from but this week, I think I did come to a pretty good conclusion on that.
I had a lot of people ask me questions
like why didn't you have coffee? You can drink coffee. The entire week people were saying that.
coffee"s cooked...
it's roasted. I was doing a raw fruitarian diet. Couldn't do it.
I mean, theoretically I could take raw coffee and like eat it. I
I guess I could take dried coffee beans and green coffee beans and chew them.
Maybe like put them in the Sun and make like a
Sun tea, I think that's okay?
But...I don't got time for that. A few other people asked me for a lot of questions about my cat
Happy to talk about my cat. So I think this is going to be the last question today. So we'll answer this question together
This is Vostok. She is three years old,
Although she is permanently tiny. She's got
two different colored eyes and she is the most adorable little thing. uh, very very annoying.
Every time I edit anything she likes to
climb up and attack my hand while I'm using my mouse and like walk on my keys.
She just gets never tired of attention. I got her from an adoption agency
It was like two women who just like had a bunch of cats in their...
in their apartment in Manhattan
and they like I had them just like all like walking around...and dogs too.
They were like out of their cages like everywhere and most of them were fine,
but this one was not okay, like she was hiding in a little cat tree.
I just like realized like this cat is never gonna get adopted because like the moment I walked up to her,
she was just like petrified and she like ran away from me and like would not be anywhere near me.
So I'm like, well, this is a gamble because this cat
is
probably gonna be like a scared cat that just like lives under the bed all the time. She's never gonna want to
interact with me.
But, I think it turns out it was just the...she was just overwhelmed from all the other animals that were in that place.
So when I took her out
she was scared for like a few days,
but then like she just like clicked with me and now she just will not leave me alone. I've had some people say
Vostok is such an ugly name for a little girl cat and maybe it is. I don't know.
It's, I guess it's not the prettiest sounding name
but I like it because it's a very like powerful word
it is the name of the first space shuttle to be launched into space. The first manned space shuttle to be launched into space and
it's also the name of the coldest place on earth, which is in Antarctica,
so there's like a lot of interesting meaning behind the name and I don't like to name cats like "Oh this is
Sprinkles or something." I like names for my cats to have a lot of
depth to them.
Lethean's name was like that as well. It meant I got that from Greek mythology.
So yep, that's...that's Vostok and that is
pretty much all I have to say about my week on being a fruitarian. Hope you enjoyed it and
I'll see you next time.
