Fruit for lunch...

We bought watermelon and apples. I like peanut butter on my apples. It helps me get my protein in as well..I do feel alot better when I eat fruit..I must get my protein in or I will not feel well at all..inbetween the protein I eat fruit..I don't think it weighs heavy on our stomachs like pasta or things like that..I eat apples to get rid of my headaches also...

I have never been a big fan of fruits and I seldom have them. But when my mom lives here with me, she is a fruit eater and she bought so many fruits. Sometimes when I don't know what to eat for lunch or dinner, or I am having a not very good appetite, I would eat her fruits as a meal. But then I guess I am still a rice or noodle-eater, I would feel very hungry after an hour or two and I need to find something to eat again. I heard that some of the Japanese would spare a day just eating fruits, so that it would clean out their inner system. I would love to try that someday but I don't know if I could sustain throughout the day *laughs*.

Sounds yummy, and energizing, as you said. I certainly hate to waste food. I will sometimes make a fruit salad. I might put some nuts in it, or even some lean chicken, or shrimp. The last time I really lost any weight, I ate lots of fruit and yogurt meals. Have some for me, I love being able to get fresh things at farmers markets.

I've never eaten fruits only for a meal because my stomach is not tolerable to too much acidic the fruit will turn while it is digested. However, I've tried taking fruits with cereal and they taste great as well as giving me ample energy. I often eat my cereal with raisins or fresh fruits cut into small cubes.

I'd usually have fruits for dinner, more like a fruit and vege salad. Its filling, it tastes great and most importantly it is healthy for my diet.

you kno what? i think its a good idea to have only fruit for a meal... its much healthier than having chips or burgers or sandwiches, i think i will start having fruit for lunch tomorrow thanks for the idea

i think apple is best for all. which keeps doctor away.

I don't eat fruit as a meal simply because fruit becomes pure sugar (fructose) in the blood stream which causes a blood sugar spike and will ultimately make me feel hungrier when the blood sugar crashes again. If I were going to do something like that, I'd have a small bit of protein to accompany it, to balance out the release of sugar and to provide more nutrition to the meal. Maybe bring along some turkey slices or peanut butter to dip the fruit in. Eating the fruit is a lot better than drinking the juice though, in terms of making you feel full. You're getting the benefits of the fiber from the fruit, and that's good for you. Just don't overdo it. Vegetables are ultimately better in the long run.

i love fruits very much that's why I don't really care if I eat them everyday.. They even help me burn fats..

I don't eat fruit as meals.Simply because if I just eat fruit I will feel hungry soon.But some of my friends eat it as meals. They all just want to lose weight.This way is not bad for their healthy.
