For Breakfast, Fit For Life Recipes encourage you to eat nothing but fruit or fruit juice. Believe me, once you get used to this routine in about 2-3 days, you will enjoy yourself and will no longer pine for old eating habits. Fruits come in a pre-digested state. Therefore, no digestive action is needed. They are in and out of the stomach in minutes. As a result, the body can concentrate on elimination during the morning and not digestion. Notice the abundance of energy at your disposal. Fit For Life Recipes during this period of elimination do not vary. Eat as much fruit or fruit juice as desired and eat it until you are satisfied. Do not overeat and do not undereat.
Fit For Life Recipes will not encourage you to eat dates or dried fruit, especially if you are concentrating on weight loss. Date and dried fruit are high in sugar.
Breakfast Guidelines
- Start your day with 8-14 ounces of fresh fruit juice if you desire
- Eat pieces of fruit throughout the morning especially if you begin to feel hungry.
- Eat a minimum of two servings of fruit in any 3 hour period.
- Do not be concerned about the amount of fruit you ingest in the morning. Just don’t overeat. Just let your ingestion of fruit be governed by what your body tells you. Eat as much as you want, within reason.|
- Eat melons before other fruit.
- Eat bananas when you really are hungry and are craving heavier foods. Bananas remain in your stomach for about 45 minutes, longer than the 15 minutes citrus remains there. Be careful to plan your lunch or dinner accordingly. If fruit is in the stomach while you eat your next meal, you are in jeopardy of ruining that meal for your body. Fermentation and putrefaction will occur. Wait until the fruit is out of your stomach until you begin your next meal.

Last word: I tried this way of living 8 years ago. It was difficult in the first 2 –3 days. I was used to my own regimen of foods and my body was probably wondering what I was doing to it. However, my body responded quickly and I have kept my natural weight all of this time. From time to time, I have allowed myself to stray from the Diet. I knew I was doing it but I knew how to get myself right back into my healthy way of living. I once lived in South America and it seems that most foods then were not processed. I remember feeling so alive and healthy day after day in South America. I also had the same feeling in Italy. I owe my good health to not only proper food combining but also to the fact that my foods were not tainted with preservatives.
