I got this from my sister. I don't believe the part about the water, but eating the fruit seems to make sense. What do you think B? Is this real or not?

[woohoosue]

yeah when i read food being described as "putrid and sludge" it makes me wondering how real this info is... I like all the good fruit info ....the eating it first thing i still can't wrap my head around..but more info on it would be nice....and the temperature of the foods going into the stomach making a difference seems weird... our body is a furnace by itself it doesn't need the help of heated foods... but it does need lots of water and any article trying to discourage it seems unhealthy.. the drinking water in a cold state being bad is very foreign to me and I've lived quite a few years so if this is real it is very new...so more info would be good.

cooked fruit is barren of nutrients? seems a bit off too...can't imagine every trace of nutrient could be stripped by cooking....

I eat fruit alone and on an empty stomach alot ..but never thought of it as a necessity to do...I like them as snacks to subside hunger till the next meal.

I drink a large glass of water before a meal and not after not for the ill effect on digestion but more of a deterrent for over eating. My mother in law used to think that would dilute the stomach juices thus being wrong. I'm not sure which of those thoughts are right maybe kingsinthehole can give us some insight on it?

well i am allergic to alot of different fruit skins or rinds so i dont really eat much. they give me a fat lip and itchy throat. but i still tend to eat a few of them as i love them. i just got this allergy to them recently. kind sucks. well thanks for the info kitty.

listen, your body is very resilient. Who cares if you have a little extra gas? I have plenty. Eat your fruit and drink your drink however you can while watching your calories.

Is it OK for me to drink water during a meal or not?
I am so confused about what to believe now.
Should I drink warm water?

dude, drink water before during or after, it doesn't matter...if you drink water before a meal, it will fill your stomach causing you to eat less. If you drink it during, you get fuller faster, if you drink after, i always get a little burp-up suprises...haha
