32-year-old Kathy Brenneman from Indiana was subjected to all sorts of bullying in her youth, because although she struggled with overeating, she weighed more than 100 kg.

Determined to make a difference, she went vegan in 2014 but didn't see the shift she was looking for. However, Katie soon learned about the fruit diet.

She ate mostly raw fruits, but also some vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Soon, the girl began to quickly lose extra pounds, and now her weight is only 63 kg.

“I have eaten heavy home-cooked meals full of animal products and processed foods all my life and have struggled with my weight from a young age. I was made fun of at school for being fat. I had to struggle with my self-esteem and later with overeating and binge eating disorder. I've been trying to lose weight for about seven years, trying to find something that works for me,” Katie said.

“I first tried a raw food diet, but I wasn’t eating enough and couldn’t maintain that lifestyle anymore, so I became a vegetarian. About five years ago, I decided to give up all animal products and become a vegan again,” the girl continued her story. “Last year I decided that the fruitarian lifestyle was something I really wanted to try to see if I could change my lifestyle.”

“I saw a lot of vegans on Instagram talking about high-fruit diets and how our physiology is closest to that of a frugivore. This convinced me and I decided to just go for it. Being a fruitarian limits what I can eat when dining out. However, after the pandemic, I still go out to different places much less, so the transition was not difficult for me,” Katie explained.

“I make sure to eat before I go out and take fruit with me in case I get hungry. Many restaurants have salads that I can eat. Getting all the nutrients on a raw vegan diet, or any diet for that matter, is a concern. “I always take a B12 supplement along with a DHEA/DHA algae derivative and vitamin D,” she says. — The biggest misconception will be the amount of food you eat. Fruits and vegetables contain between one hundred and three hundred calories per pound, so you can eat as much as you want without worrying about gaining weight.”

“The biggest fruit I have eaten is probably watermelon. When there are three fruits in a basket, they look at you a little strange. In a week, I could eat five bunches of six bananas each, a whole box of mangoes, a box of dates, plus three watermelons,” she shared the details.

Katy used to eat vegan junk food, including pizza, pasta, takeout, and a couple of alcoholic drinks a week.

Now she eats raw fruits and juices for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner, a savory salad or vegetarian dish. Her favorite is zucchini pasta with alfredo. Katie shares her favorite recipes on Instagram as @rawvibrantlove.

“I always smile when someone sends a message saying that I inspired them to change their lifestyle,” Katie said. “I wish I had come across this way of life earlier.” I am passionate about sharing this knowledge because it has changed my life.

“To be a raw foodist, you don’t have to limit yourself to only raw foods. You can be completely healthy and reap all the benefits of a diet high in raw foods. The main thing for me is that raw fruits and vegetables help me stay away from processed foods like crackers, chips and bread. However, you should do what works best for you, advises Katie. “For me, eating a raw food diet allows me to feel freedom and abundance in what I eat, despite how restrictive it may seem.”
