Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I am a Fruitarian, and I blog all about it at my site: http://www.TheFruitarian.com.
I'm also very proud of the incredible hard work I put into my athletic endeavors, mainly my running. I'm a Fruitarian and 2:28 marathoner! I measure my wealth by the level of my health! I'm 34 years old, started out with vegetarianism at 16, then moved to vegan about age 25, then off again, on again high fat raw here and there.. then at 31 went low fat raw, and now 3 years later, I call my diet Fruitarianism!
It's Expensive living in NYC and eating this way, but I love the action of big city living and eating a diet that was created in the jungles of evolution! Food is simple and delicious, just as it was meant to be! Moving forward I want to focus more on mono eating, when I combine foods too much I feel the difference in digestion, mono eating is something I'm trying to move towards more. I still have a lot to learn, that's why I'm here on 30Bad - checking out other people's experiences and trying to learn from them. Another major dream I have is to move somewhere tropical (1st choice is the Big Island of Hawaii or some place exotic and untouched, like the jungles of Sri Lanka).
I don't like buying my organic produce from every part of the world in boxes. There is so much waste and destruction when I get my grapes from Chile, my tomatoes from Mexico, my red peppers from Israel, my lechee's from Thailand, and my oranges from California...all in the same trip to the market! This is not earth friendly in the slightest! I'm seriously considering to move to a pure natural place where food is plentiful and local! :) Freshly picked food from your back yard tastes 10x's better than organic that's been on a plane or a train for a week!

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: Male

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I am a Fruitarian!

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I've read it at least 5 times cover to cover. His audio cds are amazing too

Are you Connected?: yes married

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Wall Street Journal reader, yes I am a fruitarian and capitalist...what a combo! I'm a very conservative independent! Dr. Douglas Graham is the man, 80/10/10 is the best book on diet and food I have ever read!
Any books on running, ultra running, and adventure endurance/survival/wilderness.

My wife Victoria Arnstein has my RESPECT! 21 Day Fast Completed!

Posted on January 8, 2011 at 5:39pm 25 Comments 1 Like

Today my wife crossed a major finish line! She just completed 504 hours (21 days!) of only drinking water!

I am in awe of her determination and maturity in her quest for the best health possible.

My wife Victoria really is an inspiration, I'm so impressed with her, I really find myself speechless.

I've doubted her convictions, ideas and promises in the past,... yet forever I know now she's capable of anything she really decides she wants to accomplish. I owe…

Victoria and Michael Arnstein at the Chicago Marathon - get on the News and mention Fruit!

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 1:35pm 23 Comments 0 Likes

We were interviewed on ABC news at the Chicago Marathon.

Vicky always wants to talk about eating fruit at every chance she gets. It was comical when I gave her a nudge to tone it down, as I knew she was going to go into making comments that wouldn't get us on the air.

The clip is very funny, worth watching I think. Fast forward to about 2 min. and 15 seconds to see a 50 second clip on us.

I think if you want to talk about fruitarianism or a diet that is very high in… Continue

At 5:32am on April 2, 2012, Graham said…: Hi. First of all thanks for all the inspiring videos and congratulations on creating Woodstock Fruit Festival.

I was curious whether you'd thought about inviting Steve Pavlina to Woodstock. As far as I know he's still Raw and as he has one of the biggest personal development sites I thought it might be a good way of spreading the word. Just a thought.

At 9:37pm on March 13, 2012, Eddy Hsieh said…: No problem! The fresh durian will take some time before i know when it will be available.

At 7:03am on February 22, 2012, Dutchie said…: Great, thanks! All the best! And before I forget: you really are a super inspiration!

At 12:47am on February 10, 2012, Dutchie said…: Hi Michael,

I have recently set up a website in dutch and english to promote the hcrv lifestyle. I have used some before and after pics of you and embedded a video of you. I hope you are ok with this. Please let me know if you are not. The websites are defruiteters.nl and thefruiteaters.com.

All the best,

Jelke/Dutchie (we briefly met at Woodstock)
