| 4. Mono Meals And Mono Diets
Primitive man, in his pristine life in the forest, probably ate one food at a time, depending upon the availability of the food. Eating only one food at a meal is known as a monotrophic meal. If all meals over a period of time consist of a single food, such as oranges or grapes or watermelon, this would be called a monotrophic or “mono” diet. 4.1 Advantages of Mono Meals
There are advantages to the use of monotrophic meals, and it is recommended that at least the first meal of the day be a mono meal and preferably be of one kind of juicy fruit or melon. Obviously, the digestion of a mono meal would not be subject to the adaptation problems that are sometimes experienced (even to a minimal degree) when so-called compatible foods are combined. For instance,
even when several subacid fruits are combined, there may be subtle or overt differences in degrees of alkalinity or acidity, or in liquid or sugar content, or in digestion time. Most fruits lend themselves very well to monotrophic meals. It would be advantageous to program at least one mono meal daily—for the first food of the day.

| Freelee the Banana Girl credits extreme fruit diet
YOUTUBE sensation and diet ‘guru’ Freelee the Banana Girl is causing a stir with her raw vegan diet.
Freelee’s extreme diet usually consists of ‘mono meals’, made up of a single fruit, such as two entire pineapples in a sitting or five mangoes, two litres of orange juice or as many as 20 bananas at a time.
The low-processed and high-carbohydrate diet is not low on calories, with Freelee consuming between 2000 and 5000 calories per day, yet remaining slender.
