A young woman’s dream trip to Bali ended in tragedy after she followed a strict fruitarian diet. Karolina Krzyzak, 27, was found dead in her hotel room after starving herself.
Hotel staff said they were alarmed by her fragile state when she checked in. “She looked so thin, her bones were visible,” one worker recalled. Despite repeated offers of medical help, Karolina refused treatment and survived only on fruit delivered to her door.
Her health quickly worsened. Staff had to help her move in bed, and friends raised concerns after losing contact. Days later, she was discovered lifeless on the floor of her villa. Karolina reportedly weighed just three-and-a-half stone at the time of her death.
Experts warn that fruitarian diets are unsafe and can lead to severe malnutrition. “The body is running on empty without protein, fats, and key nutrients,” dietitian Melainie Rogers explained. While fruit is healthy in moderation, doctors stress it should never make up more than 30% of daily food intake.
Karolina’s story is a heartbreaking reminder: extreme diets carry real risks. Would you ever try a diet this dangerous?
