A vegan raw food influencer who lived on a diet of exotic fruit has reportedly died from starvation and exhaustion.
Zhanna Samsonova, originally from Russia, had been living in South-East Asia and eating an exclusively raw vegan diet consisting of 'fruits, sunflower seed sprouts, fruit smoothies and juices' for the past five years.
However her eating habits became worryingly restrictive in the last few months of her life according to her friends.
The 40-year-old, known as Zhanna D'Art online, passed away on July 21 reportedly from a 'cholera-like infection' exacerbated by 'exhaustion of the body by a vegan diet' her mother told Russian newspaper Vechernyaya Kazan.
Zhanna's official cause of death has not yet been determined as her family try to get her body back to Russia.
The food blogger's mum Vera Samsonova told local news outlets Zhanna was supposed to fly home to Kazan on the day of her death.
Vera did not approve of her daughter's extreme diet and tried to convince her to introduce more balanced eating habits but she refused.
Speaking with Newsflash, an anonymous friend of Zhanna claimed they saw Zhanna a few months ago in Sri Lanka 'looking exhausted'.
'They sent her home to seek treatment. However, she ran away again. When I saw her in Phuket, I was horrified,' they said.

You can’t fix stupid
The body needs protein. If one wants to be vegan they have to eat foods that can provide that. It’s not a small task
Essentially this woman starved to death
Dear Influencer: There are quicker ways to die than schriveling up and dying. You win the vegan challenge.
I feel dumb.. I had to look that one up.
That’s what the participants of Survivor are supposed to look like after ‘39 days’ (used to be) of ‘gameplay’.
Not that that ever happened...
Shame.. she was almost cute. She definitely looks much younger than she is/was.
I could see some person trying to exist on a fruit/smoothie diet, with occasional meth use to make you feel like you have some ‘energy’. But you’d be draining your body of calories.
"influencer"
Heck, that’s the magic elixir of life! I wholeheartedly support it!
And it coincided with yet another oopsie with a girlfriend.
LOL ...... ouch
She could have been a contender. But was influenced too much with the nonsense that she was selling to others.
A diet like that might work, for a time, if you’re stranded on a desert island.
But it is not a recipe (no pun intended) for long- nor even medium-survival. Missing way too many important nutrients.
Needs a few cheeseburgers.
With tator tots, crispy onion rings and maybe a side order of gravy fries.
DFWGator gets his cue ... and ....... scene!!
Jack Lalanne ate a more balanced diet
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_LaLanne
He ate two meals a day and avoided snacks. His breakfast, after working out for two hours, consisted of hard-boiled egg whites, a cup of broth, oatmeal with soy milk, and seasonal fruit. For dinner, he and his wife typically ate raw vegetables, egg whites, and fish. He did not drink coffee.[5]
No one decides who an influencer is other than how many followers/subscribers they have. The more followers ect they have, the more people they influence.
And as far as people who cared what the influencer had to say, you’d be surprised.
With ocean fish and store bought salmon you the issue of mercury and so I won't eat it more than once a week.
Humans are meat eaters. Vegans and other diet nut balls are anti-human. They’re a kind of tranny, people who deny reality.
