Fruit only for Breakfast?

defenestrate

I am fine having a cup of sliced strawberries for breakfast. But I also have breakfast between 9:30 and 10, then have lunch between 12:30 and 1:30, a snack around 2:30 -3, then dinner between 6:30 and 8, and finally, another snack somewhere around 9-9:30, depending on how hungry I am after dinner.

I make sure I eat A FRUIT with breakfast - and with my morning snack (along with a protein) and with my afternoon snack (along with a protein)... oh, and as a dessert/snack after supper. I'm at my maintenance weight now. I would DIE without fruit.

I don't because it does not fill me. Also, my nutrionist said to make sure EVERY meal/snack consists of a protein. I do, however, usually eat fruit WITH my breakfast.

Hey everyone:

I was just curious if anyone here has done the fruit only for breakfast way of eating?

Has it worked for you?

Thanks for any POSITIVE advice/guidance!

What's the logic behind this, that sugar/carbs are evil and if eaten later in the day turn right to fat?

That's how I read the OP's question: not "eat only/just fruit for breakfast and nothing else" but "eat fruit only at breakfast and not at other times."

I've also heard this: no fruit (fructose) after 2 pm (becasue of how the liver handles it).
Do you know what this might be based on? Any opinion on whether it's valid or not?

just a serving of fruit to start your day is not healthy..eat a balanced breakfast. if you like fruit in the morning make sure you have protein too.. breakfast was always my worst part of the day because i hate breakfast and i am not fond of eating when i get up in the morning..however i lost 80lbs and part of my regime was to eat a balanced breakfast in the morning. my breakfast is boring and only eaten because its needed.. plain oatmeal with cinnamon with either protein powder or egg whites... once in a while i switch up to a toasted bagel thin , egg white and two slices of turkey bacon sandwich .. the other day i made up some healthy pancakes with melted almond butter/raw honey sauce..

because morning is a bear for me i try to keep it very simple with the oatmeal gig.. god i miss the old days of five in the morning breakfast at a diner after a night out on the town lol
