Starting the day off with a healthy diet can affect your whole day, even your entire life. You wake up and eat breakfast, what do you have? Is it cereal, oatmeal, pancakes? Well if it is, it’s time for a quick switch. Fruit can be a great substitute for these hard-to-digest foods and will leave you feeling energized. And you might ask, well are the other foods generating energy? And the answer is not, those foods are utilizing energy and energy cannot build up until food is digested.
Fruits naturally contain simple sugars and digestive enzymes that the body can easily break down instead of having to break down something hard like cereal.
Having a strict diet is very important. Not only does it keep you disciplined but it also prevents many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The best way to improve your diet is breakfast, the day’s most important meal. Fruit before noon is a challenge provided by a book called “Fit for Life” by Harvey Diamond. the challenge prompts readers to consume nothing but fruit before noon for 10 days straight and then on day 11 return to your usual diet. Millionaire, Jesse Itzler, took on this challenge. Itzler has had a very successful life in the music industry and entrepreneurship; however, he claims none of this would have happened without his strict diet.
“For me, the No. 1 thing that has changed my life — and I know this sounds crazy — but I only eat fruit until noon every day… after 10 days of fruit, I went back to my regular breakfast, which was things like oatmeal, eggs, bagel, and bacon and I felt terrible and that was it. I never went back”
Despite no scientific research to back up what Itzler says, he states that when he eats only fruit until noon he experiences higher energy levels and thinks more clearly because it “gives his digestive system a break.”
A 2019 study in Nutrients suggested that starting meals with foods rich in fiber and water instead of protein- or carb-only foods might help increase feelings of satisfaction. All fruits deliver a dose of both of those satiety-supporting all-star qualities: fiber and water.
A good substitute for only eating fruit In the morning till noon could be a smoothie. A smoothie is a great substitute as it is a nutrient-dense food. Not too many calories and not too little but just the right about. Balancing a diet is not eating and has many factors, however, if calories are calculated right and digestive needs are met, a diet can be very beneficial.
