fruit for breakfast!!

[rugeleyboy]

a friend of mine in the real world has lost 2 stone and said he has changed his diet and is having fruit for breakfast??

i never thought to ask him at the time and i will look silly asking him now but........

what does he mean? he has an apple or is there some kind of way people have fruit for breakfast???

[whyme]

Maybe its like a fruit salad - whatever it is, i'll have what hes havin!!!!

Your friend perhaps has a fruit smoothie or cereal with fruit .
I have lost weight by having fruit in porridge for breakfast or just eating a banana or fruit and yogurt or grapefruit ..or grapefruit and orange segments or ...dare I mention prunes !
Strawberries and weetabix .Apple grated into porridge.The list is endless. Much better for you than a fry up.

i microwave my mushrooms and have them on toast?

this has got to be healthy?

[Postdog]

I tend to have a "supposedly" healthy cereal like shredded wheat, fitnesse, etc, without sugar but with fruit such as bits of apple, pear, grapes, berries etc - not all at once, just what I have to hand.

[rugeleyboy]

so postdog (you randy devil)

instead of putting sugar on your weetabix, you throw apple chunks on?

[shaneystar2]

Nothing wrong with mushrooms on toast as long as your toast is wholemeal bread spread with Flora ! Even on a diet microwaved mushrooms would not appeal to me in the slightest ..I fry them in One Cal.Here endeth the lesson !

[rugeleyboy]

but you really should try them!! slice the mushrooms and put em in a jug! on for about a minute and they boil in there own juice!! its delish!!!

[shaneystar2]

Oooh... no ..too sloppy !

[rugeleyboy]

honestly!! try before you buy!! if you dont like them i will give you your money back!!

ok ok... i make mine so they are not sloppy, but very tasty!

[shaneystar2]

Oooh.... alright ..I may give it a try but I lke my mushrooms a bit crispy .I shall report back .In the meantime try porridge done in the microwave .One measure of oats to two of liquid ( I use Oatley milk) ,plus a tablespoonful of sultanas and ditto chopped apricots.Microwave three and a half minutes on high 850 watts and sprinkle cinnamon on top.To die for !

I'm with Shaneystar, doesn't sound too tempting rugelyboy! =)

I'm not a fan of breakfast, but I'll usually just have a banana, or soggy weetabix with a chopped up banana on top! Adding fruit definitely livens up a plain old bowl of cereal!

Sorry shaney but my toast has to have BUTTER on it even if it is Lurpak Lighter Spreadable. I don't have it very often so it has to be a treat.

[shaneystar2]

Oooh butter !! I should not eat butter . Don't tell anyone but I also have a treat of it now and then !
I wonder what rugeleyboy is having for his breakfast this morning !!
