Fruit: The Ultimate Diet, is the first book of its kind to delve so deeply into the whole concept of a fruitarian diet. Page after page reveals reason after reason to become fruitarian as every single... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book presents excellent circumstantial evidence that fruit is the one and only ideal food for man (i.e. Man's teeth structure, digestive system, digestive juices, lack of claws/bipedal nature, etc.). I've been a 90 percent plus fruit-eater for some time. Durette's book is absolutely the best to introduce yourself to the fruit diet. Read it. Then buy Dr. Graham's THE 80/10/10 DIET. Dr. Graham gives you EVERY BIT OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to back up the undeniable fact that man is designed by nature to be a fruit-eater. But Durette's FRUIT: THE ULTIMATE DIET is very enjoyable reading and well worth the price. Jeff Sekerak
Fruit for Thought

I highly recommend this book for those seeking to further their knowledge of why a fruitarian diet could be the answer to their body's needs. As an experienced (and very often failed) dieter for both nutritional and weight-loss purposes, I have researched many different types of diet and eating, from Weight-Watchers to Atkins to raw-food. Every step brought me new information, all the information took me to further education, and that allowed me to make informed decisions as to what my body needed. A fruitarian diet is not for everyone. We are all different and our bodies need different things. This book is a gentle introduction to what constitutes a fruit (believe it or not, there are people who do not know this), nutritional information on proteins and calcium that is often misunderstood, and arguments for and against eating things that are not fruits. Basic topics that I hungered to know when making my initial decisions regarding my diet and lifestyle such as organic produce and whether or not to take supplements are also covered. There is some very introductory level information on growing fruits; not enough to enable a person to plant a thriving fruit garden, but enough for inspiration to learn more. I give this book only 4 stars rather than the 5 I'd like to give it because some of the information is a bit too basic. There is a chapter devoted to describing fruits, and while some of the items were helpful, most of us know what an apple or an orange or a grape is, how it grows, and how to eat it. That said, the book is a very easy read, very informative on an introductory level, and educational for those who are new to the idea of frutarian diet and lifestyle. All in all, I really liked this book. It is well written, and being neither dry nor stuffy the information in the book flows easily. I am pleased to have added it to my shelves. It is a 'keeper' to which I will refer time and time again as I educate people to take the responsibility for their health back into their own hands.

Fruit; the Ultimate Diet is a very good book to read when you're looking for inspiration and encouragement to try out being fruitarian. Any worries you might have are summarily and efficiently dispelled by the author. His description of their enormous orchard is enough to start one dreaming of having a like experience. What's great is that he's demonstrating that it is possible and viable to become fruitarian. I recommend this book, and think I'll buy another copy after I post this, since mine's disappeared!

Rejean (David) knows what he's talking about. I have had this book for several years, and since following the Fruitarian diet outlined in this book, I no longer suffer with Asthma, Migraines, nor Peridontal Disease. Rejean is a true example of healthy living.
