I can't support that theory with indisputable factual evidence and it didn't work well for me. So many who claimed it have tried and failed to prove it. I could find no single person that I could really believe in. Maybe later. But right now I think we're not attuned enough. And I doubt we will become attuned by starving ourselves.
I have achieved quite a lot with working on it (reduced my food intake at least 4 times!!), but my lack of discipline in energizing exercises made me fall back and regroup for a while

And actually I do know a person who made it pretty far! He ate about every 10 days last time I talked to him, and many I knew supported this statement. He's not preaching or something, so there really is no reason he would make up something like that. He might have fully achieved it by now, but I haven't talked to him for a while.
So yes, according to many testimonies from various suorces, about many people, this phenomena really is true. And even perfectly makes sense, if you consider or the data, including the fact that everything is ONE, and made up of same material on a quantum level.
I would reccommend anyone who wants to further study this, to check out Joachim M Werdins book "Lifestyle without food", which is freely available for download on his website in PDF format.

Theresa Neumann for instance was a Christian Saint in Germany who didn't eat, and there are many many Yogis who lives on prana. But they did it by very advanced meditation practices, not just by breathing deeply, lol.
Human beings do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of the One Infinite Creator.This is what Theresa Neumann stuck around on earth to demonstrate, apparently. And I do believe she was advanced to the point where she could have left at any time.
Lol, of course it has nothing to do with breathing

I do find your idea of "fruitarian" diet quite convincing actually, since it appears to be true as you say that various sources have confirmed that. That can't be coincidence, and I see no reason why not to trust you

The last source I'd ever take full consideration is mainstream science, since it appears to be more manipulated than Christianity in dark ages, lol. So, alternative science is always my number one choice, if properly argumented.
