What might this diet actually look like in today's modern world? What works best for most people is fresh, ripe sweet fruits (bananas, grapes, oranges, pineapple, dates, persimmon, mango, papaya, peaches, berries, melons, etc.) eaten throughout the day as your mainstay (this is where you will get the majority of your daily calories!) and a large fruit and vegetable salad or soup meal, with small amounts of added fats on some days, such as nuts or avocado, for the evening meal. Focusing on sweet fruits throughout the daytime hours insures sufficient caloric and carbohydrate intake, and is easiest on your digestive system which, importantly, frees up energy for all of your other daytime activities. The digestive process is extremely energy-intensive, so the simpler your meals, the less vital energy will be required to digest them, and the more energy you will have left for other things.

The simplest meal of all is a "mono-meal": just one kind of sweet fruit for the whole meal. Eat only when you are truly hungry, and then eat as much of the one fruit as you need to feel satiated. You can still take in a sufficient variety of foods over the course of the day/week/month/year. It is most efficient to keep each individual meal as simple as possible. Mixing 2-3 fruits at a meal will still give you a relatively simple meal.
It's important to understand that all of your cells are fueled primarily by glucose, which is most readily and efficiently available to you through ripe sweet fruits. As long as your meals are appropriately low in fat, the fruit sugars will come in and out of your bloodstream the way they are supposed to and will serve your body perfectly, bringing your cells all the sugar, water, oxygen and other nutrients they need. Fruit is unrivaled for meeting our nutritional needs - there simply is no better food for our basic fuel.
