Genuinely curious I have been seeing some nutrition stuff that made me start questioning why I eat processed foods and junk food for pleasure and whats really in it for me other than dopamine boost with candies, for example. Now I’m wondering about what I’m asking in the title.
Just fruits would be very hard¹. But plant based diets are very common with minimal supplementation (vitamin b12 is needed and eventually vitamin D, folic acid, iodine, could be added if missing from your diet).
Look up Plant Based Whole Food diets (PBWF). A source I rather enjoy is the “vegan doctor” Dr. Greger and his “daily dozen”: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/daily-dozen/
Basically what he says is that if you manage to eat foods from all 12 groups every day, you probably have a good diet.
¹ Most fruits are just packets of sugar, water and some vitamins. If you include nuts you get more protein and fats. But you might not get enough variety of protein and vitamins from those.
Thanks that looks an interesting read
