Just curious Jay, how does this diet affect your energy level? I eat a
lot of fruite and vegetable, but I also eat a whole lot of meat and
grain also.

I eat all the fruit I want for breakfast and lunch. Apples, bananas, pears.
Throw in a low-fat yogurt, and some flavored rice cakes, and that's pretty
much my entire diet for the day...

....until dinner, when I eat what most people would consider an entirely
"normal" evening meal. It may contain meat, sour cream, beer -- pretty much
anything. Tonight it was a PB&J sandwich, bowl of beef vegetable soup, and
some chips, washed down with a Killian's Red. Yesterday it was a Hardee's
mushroom & Swiss burger with fries and a malt.

Although I would prefer to make lunch my "big" meal of the day, I've found
that the evening meal is more likely to be a social event, and people just
don't seem to understand when I whip out an apple at a dinner.

Energy. My energy level has never been higher. In fact, when I fall
off this diet (as I did at Montblack's over T-Giving, and at my
sister-in-laws over Xmas), I feel sluggish and dim. Aside from the weight
loss and blood pressure correction, the main advantage of the fruit diet is
that I feel much sharper after eating fruit then I do after eating a big,
fatty meal.
