Celia and Cyndi, i know you've both told me to include fruits in meals to get in the proper amount per day and I have used fruit as a side item (not regularly, I confess..). What do you all think? I honestly don't even know where to go to try to confirm or debunk this....

It's long but very informative � We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. � What is the correct way of eating fruits? � IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. � If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. � FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. � In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... � So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! � Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. � There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. � When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. � But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! � KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange. � APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke. � STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. � ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer. � WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher.. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. � GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. � Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. � A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack . Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms..

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Terri, I can only speak for myself but it sounds like a bunch of crap to me. I agree that you should eat real fruit--not juice--but the rest is nonsense. I eat fruit in limited quantities because I am a type 2 diabetic and I always include it with a high fiber meal (such as a salad), not alone, so as to slow down my body's absorption of fructose. For me it's not 'safe' to eat fruit alone though it would probably be just fine for anyone who does not have blood sugar issues. I'm not aware that WAP (or any other group values that I to) advocates eating fruit alone for the below reasons, but then I haven't finished my books on WAP and NT.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi Terri and all...The Fit for Life program is all about this...it's called Food Combining. I have done the program before and did notice quite a difference when eating fruit only on an empty stomach. My gas/flatulence issues decreased so dramatically that I choose to still be relatively careful how I eat my fruit though I am not following the program religiously at the moment.Here is some info about it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fit_for_LifeIf you were to even try eating fruit alone in the a.m. for a week, you might notice you feel better too! Anyway, just one more method of eating and nutrition to explore.Best,Lee Anne--- On Fri, 3/26/10, Terri McLaughlin <tressa1220 wrote:Terri McLaughlin <tressa1220[RFSL] Fwd: Eating Fruit"realfoodsimplelife " <realfoodsimplelife >Friday, March 26, 2010, 6:02 PM I'm wondering if any of you have heard of this?

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Did you check Snopes? I've actually seen this before on another group, and I questioned it then. Now even if this was all good information or true information, there is nothing here to back it up. Like for instance......who is Dr. Herbert Shelton? No credentials listed, who he works for, links, nothing. If he did research on this matter, then where is the information? Where is the study? What kind of study was it? Where did he find his information? And what did he find? No mention of organic fruits, and the difference between organic and conventionally grown stuff. There is just nothing here. The e-mail just smells of a phony e-mail floating around the web.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 My hubby also limits his intake of fruit because of type 2 diabetes. Hubby would also never eat it alone.....almost never. He typically tries to get a protein into every meal which works really well for his body. Actually mine too. Although he will eat an apple on his way home from work if he is stuck in traffic and getting shaky.

Even though it's rare, I too have occasionally eaten an orange or 1/2 banana when stuck in traffic or out somewhere and find myself a little bit shaky. I try to stick to strawberries, raspberries and blueberries when I eat fruit because their glycemic load is lower. The occasional small apple paired with brie or cheddar cheese is a special treat for me! I learned from Cyndi years ago to carry hard-boiled eggs with me for a quick snack on the go, and they seem to keep my BS pretty stable. I used to not care for them very much but now I eat them almost daily, lol!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've heard about food combining for a long time. I think it's more popular in countries like France. I remember many years ago, my mother gave me a cookbook by Suzanne Somers, and she is big on food combining. She mentioned in the book being told while on holiday in France not to eat cherries after a big meal, that fruit should always be taken on an empty stomach. Personally, I don't hold much faith in food combining. I think it's another gimmick that probably works for some people, only because they are being more mindful of what they are eating and watching their caloric intake a lot more carefully. It goes back to mindful eating. And maybe some people's personal metabolism fits in line with food combining, so they are successful with it. Even Suzanne Somers recommends a diet much higher in protein and lower in carbs, as a weight loss plan, so what does that tell you? Eating the whole fruit is DEFINITELY better than drinking the juice, I do agree with that. Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. This can be attributed to other causes such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies-especially magnesium and Iodine-and has nothing to do with eating fruit on an empty stomach.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 WAP says to always eat whole fruit with a meal containing some protein and fats. This enables the fruit to be digested slowly and enter the bloodstreamat a moderate rate over a matter of hours instead of minutes. I agree with Cee, its a bunch of crap. EVERYONE has blood sugar issues, and eating sugars on an empty stomach and getting those sugar highs and lows over a long period of time is what causes insulin resistance.

Even though it's rare, I too have occasionally eaten an orange or 1/2 banana when stuck in traffic or out somewhere and find myself a little bit shaky. I try to stick to strawberries, raspberries and blueberries when I eat fruit because their glycemic load is lower. The occasional small apple paired with brie or cheddar cheese is a special treat for me! I learned from Cyndi years ago to carry hard-boiled eggs with me for a quick snack on the go, and they seem to keep my BS pretty stable. I used to not care for them very much but now I eat them almost daily, lol! Real food in it's most simple form works for me. <smiles> --Celia-- --- On Fri, 3/26/10, Kelly Weyd <kellmar98 > wrote: Kelly Weyd <kellmar98 > Re: [RFSL] Fwd: Eating Fruit Friday, March 26, 2010, 10:46 PM My hubby also limits his intake of fruit because of type 2 diabetes.

It's long but very informative � We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Regarding the “need†to eat fruit separately: Bunk. This comes from those who hold to the idea of Proper Food Combining—that foods have to been eating in a particular order or combination to be beneficial and that to do otherwise is to cause food to turn toxic in the body. It just isn’t true. While it is true that some foods take longer to digest than others (animal proteins for example) and that different enzymes are needed for different food categories, none of that matters an iota regarding digestion.  Eat your fruit first, middle: JUST EAT YOUR FRUIT.

Kelly My response: While it is a common idea amongst diabetics (thanks to the ADAs –American Diabetics Assn & American Dietetics Assn) that fruit should be limited to control their serum glucose levels, studies have actually shown that diets high in complex carbs, fresh (whole) fruits, and vegetables and low in protein and fat stabilize diabetics to the point of reducing or eliminating the need for insulin or meds. But, those studies also showed that even after coming off insulin during the study period, diabetics ran straight back to their former diets and back onto insulin because they did not like to eat the large amount of produce required and wanted their animal protein and fat back. Thus, the diet is rarely recommended…. Tina, MS Nutrition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Before I got pregnant, I followed the " Somersize " way of food combining, to great benefit to my health and weight: I saw a great improvement in my digestion, my sickness rate plummeted, and I dropped about 50 lbs despite eating plenty of fat. Fruit was either eaten on an empty stomach, or with whole grains (but no fats or proteins). There was no portion control, no calorie counting, etc. You just ate certain food groups with other food groups, in specific combinations: 1. Protein, veggies, & fats together 2. Complex carbs & veggies together 3. Fruit alone, or with complex carbs on a limited basis. 4. No refined sugars, flours, or simple carbs like potatoes, white rice, corn, peas. 5. No " mixed " foods, like nuts or olives, that combined fats or proteins with complex carbs. It was not a healthy diet in terms of WAPF, however--which I had never heard of at the time. And it was antithetical to Sally Fallon's recommendation to eat protein with complex carbs. But it worked for me. I left that way of eating, however, when I got pregnant and all my food aversions and nausea took over. Wendy , cyndikrall wrote: > > > I've heard about food combining for a long time.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I've read that the body absorbs more of the fruit when eaten by itself (raw food books). Generally, I try to eat fruit by itself or with veggies so its able to work its way through my system quickly. When I don't it sticks around in my intestines and then I get gas because the bacteria have more time to work on it.
