Dietitian Reviews Fit Shortie Eats | Raising a Fruitarian Baby

Todays what I eat in a day YouTuber review is of Fit Shortie Eats. Abbey is reviewing their video on why their baby will only eat fruit. This review will be slightly different than past reviews. From now on, Abbey will refer to their diet as a fruitarian diet and not a vegan diet, as these two diets are different from each other.

A fruitarian diet is where individuals only consume fruits. It is a crazy fad diet with a huge following on social media.

MACROS

Fruit is basically all carbs, so Abbey is worried about the other macros like protein and fat. Even the best sources of protein from fruits have a very small amount of protein. Abbey is concerned of muscle wasting, immune function, hair, nails and skin. You also can’t get omega 3 fats from the fats from fruits. These fats are specifically important in cognitive function.

MICRONUTRIENTS

They are likely meeting fluid and fibre needs, vitamin C and folate. Nutrients of concern are iron, B12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, iodine, vitamin E, vitamin K

Sugar

Abbey is concerned about pancreatic stress and dental caries. Carbohydrates and sugar do not cause gestational diabetes, but Abbey doesn’t know what her prenatal care is and she is older which can put her at risk.

Restrictive

This diet is so restrictive establishes an unhealthy relationship with food.

Philosophy

Abbey loves that she is open about letting her child choose what they want to eat and food freedom. Where Abbey disagrees is waiting until that child is older to do that and restricting them when they are very young. When your baby is growing, those are critical years and really important moments where parents need to make sure their baby is getting what they need, because their baby can’t do that for themselves yet.

Bottom line. Pregnancy and those early years of infancy is not a time for restrictive eating.

Abbey can tell Tina is a loving women, but for any moms on restrictive diets, it is important to recognize the unique dietary needs of children as they move through the life stages.
