A 27-year-old woman tragically starved to death in her Bali hotel room after going on an experimental ‘fruitarian’ diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cut reports<\/a> Polish-native Karolina Krzyzak checked into the Sumberkima Hill resort in Bali in December 2024, with the former Leeds University student requesting a villa with a pool.<\/p>\n

However, staff at the hotel were left ‘shocked’ when Karolina arrived at the resort, as workers reported she was ’emaciated’ with sunken eyes and her collarbone visible out of her flesh.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Karolina was that fragile she was carried to her room by a night clerk upon checking in, which lead to staff members asking her if she wanted medical help.<\/p>\n

It was a firm no from Karolina, while hotel workers urged her to seek medical assistance the next day. Once again, they were issued with a firm no.<\/p>\n

Hotel staff continued to visit Karolina over the next few days, as they delivered only fruit to her door – with such a diet being pretty common at the retreat.<\/p>\n

But with the Polish native’s physical appearance, staff kept a close eye on her.<\/p>\n

The Cut states Karolina’s health<\/a> worsened to the point where staff had to help her turn over in her bed, and worries worsened soon after following a phone call from an individual who had met Karolina while traveling.<\/p>\n

They had expressed concern they hadn’t heard from their backpacking buddy and asked hotel staff to check if she was alright.<\/p>\n

Upon entering her room, staff found Karolina stiff and motionless on the floor. She had tragically died.<\/p>\n

Is a fruitarian diet dangerous?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amid a struggle with anorexia, Karolina adopted a fruitarianism diet – a vegan diet that consisting primarily of fruits, and sometimes supplemented by the likes of nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n

However, dietician Melainie Rogers told The Cut that it is ‘absolutely not a sustainable way of eating’. Karolina weighed just three-and-a-half stone at the time of her death.<\/p>\n

Prior to her death, the outlet reports that Karolina would often open up to her friends about feeling weak and having low energy.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re not getting sufficient protein or fats or omega-3s. The body is essentially running on empty,” Rogers added.<\/p>\n

Registered dietitian Kate Patton told<\/a> Cleveland Clinic that a fruitarian diet is ‘not usually recommended by dietitians’ and has a ‘big risk of malnourishment’.<\/p>\n

While fruit in moderation is healthy, it should only make up a maximum of 25 to 30 percent of your diet.<\/p>\n

Patton added: “You might lose weight on the fruitarian diet, but I don\u2019t consider this a true benefit, because you are likely losing muscle.”<\/p>\n
