Continuing where I left off on the previous post, I generated a lot of curiosity about my routine of consuming only high water content fruits on an empty stomach leading up to lunch time. I am going talk about the reason behind this effective strategy to help you accelerate your weight loss dramatically without making any drastic changes in diet. You will see the results instantly and the reason behind the results is just a minor change in your breakfast habits without interfering with what you normally have for lunch or dinner. As a matter of fact, once you adhere to the Fruit till Noon plan, you will notice that your cravings for unhealthy foods will no longer persist. Occasionally you will be able to indulge in pizza, fried chicken, or your favorite cake like me without suffering from the after effects of extreme indigestion.
A lot of people I know do not know how to eat fruit correctly. They usually eat it after a meal like a desert. They often say that it is better to eat a fruit than a candy bar. I agree with that statement to the effect that it is better to put less junk food in your system. And fruit is not junk food. But that doesn’t change the fact that fruit eaten after a meal results in the fermentation of food in stomach. Have you noticed that every time you have a fruit after a meal, you start burping it up? In some cases, some people have heart burn or any other kind of stomach ailments resulting from it. The reason why this is the case is that fruit doesn’t not require digestion at all and it stays in your stomach for less than thirty minutes. Bananas stay in your stomach for about 45 minutes because they are not like high water content fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and melons. Melons are the only fruits that have more water content than all of them. And melons are best consumed best before any other fruits due to their watery nature.
Now after you are done with lunch, (let’s say, you had a steak and bake potato), given the amount of energy that is required to digest a steak and a bake potato due to the improper food combining of protein and starches. A steak and potato will stay in your stomach for about 5 hours or more depending on the strength of your digestive system.
From an herbalist point of view coming from my dad, we all have different digestive systems that are unique in terms of how food is quickly digested. That is based on your overall health. You have heard of people who catch colds easily. Those are examples of people who may have weak digestive systems.
Now getting back to the point about the steak and bake potato. Knowing that proteins and starches stay in your stomach for a very long time, you can come to the conclusion what will happen if you chase that meal down with fruits knowing very well that fruits stay in your stomach for less than a half hour. So the fruit that is supposed to leave your stomach quickly for easy nutrient assimilation becomes trapped in the wreckage of your steak and potato meal. Sorry for this analogy, but I can’t think of any other at the moment.
So the nutrients in the fruit becomes a total waste given the incorrect nature in which it was consumed. Fruits are supposed to be eaten on an empty stomach given the easy assimilation factor.
Now you are wondering how does that attribute to helping you in achieving accelerated weight loss results. Fruits were known for centuries as a natural detoxifier. Bernard Jensen, a world renowned guru on the subject of detoxification talks about the healing power of fruits in his book. And when I say detoxification, I am talking about the subject of cleaning your system up completely. Constipation, diarrhea, colon cancer, digestive orders, weight gain, skin problems, and the host of other disorders all originate from the dirtiness of our intestinal tract as a result of not only the junk food we eat but also the improper food combining habits we all have developed, including myself occasionally especially when I want to indulge in my favorite Mexican Carnitas burrito which consist of delicious fried pork. And that is an example of improper food combining. I am only human and I have cravings like all of you despite the fact that I am a avid health nut.
Meat and starch do not go well together as in the case of my favorite burrito meal. I will elaborate more on the incompatibility of proteins and starches in a later post since I already have so much to cover on fruits and weight loss alone in this post.
Fruits not only are high in fiber but they are high in nutrient rich water content that cannot be compared with drinking water alone. I know some people who go on a WATER TILL NOON routine which I know is effective too, but it doesn’t have the same cleansing and detoxifying effects as the water content of fruits.
You have all heard of the latest trend in colon cleansing and how it relates to accelerated weight loss results. All those infomercials touting the benefits of their colon cleansing formulas have already surfaced all over the TV airwaves on a nationwide level. Even myself, I have used quite a few of them myself back in December of 2004 when I saw the first Dual Action Cleanse infomercial featuring Klee Irwin, the founder of the company. I have even used Dr. Natura’s Colonix products. Those products are in some way effective but you will find out from my experience that they do not provide a long term solution to the problem of colon cleansing. I found myself constipated a few times as a result of using their products. The reason for that is because you have to drink a lot of water in order for those products to work. You got to realize that high fiber colon cleansing products do not have any water content at all. That is why water consumption in conjunction with its use is critical.
Fruits on the other hand are naturally high in fiber and have a lot of water content. That is why you will notice as you eat fruits throughout the morning, you will not be thirsty. So do yourself a favor and save yourself some money. Before you go out to buy the next latest as-seen-on-TV colon cleansing product on the market, try consuming only fruits on an empty stomach throughout the morning and you will see the drastic changes in your physical appearance in a short period of time because fruits are a natural God-given colon cleanser.
