what are the effects of being a fruitarian?

Answer 1

Would you get enough protein? If that is so then go ahead but have a toilet at hand or very near.

Answer 2

Fruitarians generally do not eat fruit which has been harvested prior to complete ripening - they don't eat fruit unless it has fallen off of the tree/vine/etc. They feel that taking fruit from the plant source before it falls off naturally is "murder". I imagine the effects of being a fruitarian would be a gross lack of vital nutrients, but you would need to have a gross lack of sense to believe that an apple can be a victim of murder.

Answer 3

(In addition to health risks particular to fruitarianism, all risks associated with veganism apply as well.) Commonly cited criticisms of fruitarianism include:

Serious nutritional deficiencies: Some long-time strict fruitarians will develop symptoms of nutritional deficiency as a result of the diet. Many will develop health problems and switch to a broader diet. (Specific health risks are discussed below.)
Lack of evidence of successful, long-term fruitarians: Many notable advocates of fruitarianism in the past, including Johnny Lovewisdom, Walter Siegmeister/Raymond Bernard, and Viktoras Kulvinskas were discovered to not be fruitarians. Some ate considerable quantities of vegetables and occasional cooked foods. Others switched to other unorthodox lifestyles (including breatharianism and liquitarianism (juices only).
Lack of Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 can only be synthesized by bacteria and archaea. Unless they regularly use supplements, fruitarians (like all other vegans) will not get sufficient amounts of this nutrient. Years of deficiency in vitamin B12 may lead to megaloblastic anemia, macrocytic anemia, serious neurological and mental damage, increased homocysteine (associated with heart disease and arterial deterioration), degeneration of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord, paranoia, hyperactive reflexes, impotence and infertility. As with all vegans, fruitarians are at risk of serious, permanent bodily damage or death if they do not add B12 supplements or fortified foods to their diets.
Excessive sugar: Diets high in sugar, as fruitarian regiments may be, are believed by some to lead to hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia or diabetes
Lack of protein: Fruits are lower in proteins than many animal products. Nuts, seeds, and pulses are notable exceptions. Additionally, some fruitarians restrict their diets to so-called culinary fruits, rejecting nuts, pulses, and "vegetable" fruits (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc.) Protein deficiency can cause hair loss, insulin resistance, hormonal irregularities and, in extreme cases, kwashiorkor in children. The essential amino acid taurine is absent from any vegan diet which excludes nuts.
Digestive problems including colitis, flaccidity, intestinal hemorrhages/hemorrhoids and peristalsis problems: The high organic acid content of many fruits can kill off portions of vital human intestinal flora, draw excessive salts from the intestine and damage the mucosal lining.
Dental problems: The high organic acid content in many fruits can strip minerals from teeth. A number of fruitarians have given up the diet due to tooth loss, receding gums and similar problems.
