Hi, I am Marko Karbevski (preferable nickname MarkoMKD), I come from Macedonia (there was no (FYR) Macedonia in the country list though) a 19 year old math university student who currently lives in France due to better education opportunities.
One year ago, from a hardcore meat eater, after a talk i heard on a gaming stream (Profile of the guy:
https://www.facebook.com/worldofathene
He raised over 1mil $ for children in Africa, the documentary can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nMJdXJAHPA) regarding eating meat and the story behind it, he made me realise what i actually was doing/causing to the animals, especially since i considered myself to be an animal lover so i became a vegetarian. But as i recently went through the internet, i was made aware that the dairy/egg industry isn't cruelty free either, so i decided to go vegan. So yeah, my motive for going vegan was purely moral. (*). So now i am looking for a way to live a healthy life, be fit and eat nice food, since i love food.
To be realistic, i am here more to see the raw vegan diet and discuss ideas rather then fully implement it, because of the price (i am a student and am financed by my parents who are not very wealthy). So my plan is to eat as much fruit as possible and the rest, to replace it with beans, lentiles etc... As Durianrider said in one video, i need to have a backup plan and the beans, rice, lentiles have a low price so they are my backup plan.
(*)Bit of workout history: A few years ago, i used to be lean(75kg) and strong, i went to the gym and i made mad progress in a short time, less than a year, no supplements, i just ate as much as i wanted.
But as i stopped, i started eating more and more greasy food and i started gaining weight, now i am around 95-100kg (it was the same before and after i went vegetarian, especially because i liked greasy stuff i think)

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
I feel like i need to know more about the calories intake.
I think you will get the idea after reading the part "about myself"
The Frugivore Diet is a fruit-based vegan internet community which promotes a high carb fruit based vegan lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to this. Nor do we allow endorsement of non-vegan items or practises which involve the imprisonment, exploitation, abuse or murder of sentient beings. We also require our members to post with proper netiquette. Therefore, please indicate your intention:
I will comply because we are The Borg and resistance is fruitile
