Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has reportedly "died of starvation" after subsisting exclusively on a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family.
She was 39. The Russian national who frequently promoted raw foods on social media where she was known to her millions of viewers on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as Zhanna D'Art reportedly died July 21 after finally seeking medical treatment during a tour in Southeast Asia, according to local media outlet reports. "A few months ago, in Sri Lanka, she already looked exhausted, with swollen legs oozing lymph," one unidentified friend told Newsflash. "They sent her home to seek treatment. However, she ran away again. When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified." Her friend added, "I lived one floor above her and every day I feared finding her lifeless body in the morning. I convinced her to seek treatment, but she didn't make it."... Meanwhile, a friend claimed that for the last seven years, Samsonova had only eaten the giant, sweet jackfruit and durian, a spiky, mace-like fruit known for its custardy meat and noxious odor. "I see my body and mind transform every day," Samsonova had gushed while describing her restrictive eating regimen. "I love my new me, and never move on to the habits that I used to use."

Damn, she followed her beliefs right into the grave. That’s some extreme mental illness when you can see the negative effects but keep going anyway.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Died of malnourishment. She needed a few cheeseburgers and fries AND a malted milk shake. The pictures I've seen of her are of her posing with durian, coconuts, and other tropical fruits (she lived in Thailand). She would have to have been eating constantly, but there are sufficient calories, protein, fats, available in those items to sustain a person. I wonder if there was an underlying issue that was exacerbated by her restrictive diet (other than the mental health problems she was suffering from). |

You can do a raw food diet but you have to include proteins and it’s only to be done short term as in maybe a week or two. But relying solely on the proteins found in raw foods will not do it. Also the carb content is going to be too much glucose.

If she ate a cheeseburger a month she'd likely be alive still.
But she had all the confidence and acumen that comes from being an "influencer" influencing others to follow her path to death. |

Wow. Many vegan influencers cheat and sneak a little fish, or eggs or something into their diet, on the down low (tons of them have admitted to this over the years, after finally giving it up).
She actually rode her fucked up version of it all the way to the grave. She was dedicated, I'll give her that. |

No. Even committed vegans admit that's not true and some kind of supplements are essential. Unless by "sustain" you mean "not die quickly", because it sounds like it took a while before her body was destroyed enough that it couldn't deal with whatever finally killed her. Go listen to Dr. Shawn Baker interview a mangotarian: https://youtu.be/14RI8NIWuMs Yes he stayed alive for years eating nothing but fruit but it was ruining his health. When he switched to meat it was like a miraculous recovery. |

She obviously had a very unhealthy relationship with food.
I have a cousin who struggled with food her whole teenage years and well into her 20’s. |

She’s pretty good about chasing plant-based protein, too. I’ll stick with my “strict” Keto diet. I mix in some carbs and sugars and alcohol every day just so I don’t waste away…
