However, long-term survival (months or years) on a fruit-only diet is not feasible, regardless of the tropical variety in Bali. Here's why, based on established nutritional science:
Key Deficiencies and Risks
Protein: Fruits generally provide very little complete protein (most offer 1–2g per serving). You'd need about 46–56g daily for adults, which would require eating impractically large amounts (e.g., 50+ bananas). Deficiencies can lead to muscle wasting, weakened immunity, and edema.
Fats: Essential for hormone production and nutrient absorption. While coconuts and avocados help, most fruits are low-fat, potentially causing issues like dry skin, hormonal imbalances, and poor brain function over time.
Vitamin B12: Completely absent in plant foods, including fruits. Deficiency causes anemia, nerve damage, and fatigue—potentially irreversible if prolonged.
Other Nutrients: Low in iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin D, and omega-3s, leading to risks like osteoporosis, weakened bones, poor wound healing, and immune suppression. Tropical fruits excel in some areas (e.g., vitamin C), but the gaps are significant.
Additional Health Issues: High sugar intake from fruits can cause tooth decay, blood sugar spikes (risky for diabetics), and digestive problems like diarrhea from excess fiber. It may also become monotonous, leading to under-eating or cravings.
