What I Eat in a Day as a 42-Year-Old on a Fruit-Based Diet
Author: Freelee | thebananagirl.com
This is what I eat in a day as a 42-year-old on a fruit based diet who has lost 40 pounds and maintained it long term.
Morning: Hydration and Natural Sugars
I love starting the day with young coconut water and the fresh coconut flesh. Sometimes I blend it with garlic and a little salt water for a savory twist. It is creamy, satisfying and still aligned with a high carb, low fat approach.
Lately I have also been enjoying fresh carrot juice. It supports hydration and provides easily accessible carbohydrates without relying on caffeine.
Homegrown Fruit First
We live off-grid in the jungle and grow much of our own food. Papayas straight from the tree. Bananas still on the bunch. Fresh tropical fruit after a jog. Movement paired with fruit supports glucose uptake and metabolic efficiency.
This is the foundation of the Raw Till 4 lifestyle and the Shine Diet principles. Fruit first. Keep fat low. Let the body process carbohydrates efficiently without lipotoxicity interfering.
Simple Cooked Dinner
Dinner varies. If we cook, it is usually something simple like Thai inspired pumpkin soup with coconut and a large salad. The focus stays on carbohydrates, while keeping oils and heavy fats minimal.
This high carb vegan approach supports weight loss, steady energy and long term metabolic stability.
