    I am relieved to find that eating food of any kind still does not cause the body to starve.

        You can’t get all the nutrients needed from just fruit. This is fact. Just because some fruits may have some fats and proteins doesn’t mean they have enough to meet nutritional needs.

            A major part of their “nutrients” point is fats and proteins, read the last reply again.

                    If I’m wrong, then please show examples of fruits that contain all the necessary nutrients needed by the human body, including the needed levels of fats and amino acid complete proteins.

          In the article it says she eats sunflower seed sprouts. A cursory google search says these are a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids.

        It might be possible to live off fruit, but in the end, “food restriction resulting in significantly low body weight” is the definition of anorexia.

        I don’t claim to know if she put her health in a compromised state or not, but look at recent pictures.
