Well I'm a very high fruit paleo. I eat fruit as about 50% of my diet, I eat it for breakfast lunch and anytime I just want a snack and then a big meat only meal. I find I do very good eating like this.

Apples once a month?  I'd better eat more.  But they aren't organic in my country, they are all imported.  I believe in apples for liver flow.

We have not so sweet local oranges, 2 to 3 times a week when in season.  Maybe 2x a year.

Durian, 2 to 3 times a week during durian season September.

Berries... we got none of these... I've tasted grapes and they are toooooo sweeeettt...

We usually have daily the not so sweet ones: papaya, coconuts, water melons, melons, these are good for breakfast.

I like fruit to be sweet. the problem with apples is they are not so nutritious. Whether this is because of over-domestication I don't know.

I made this graph of Vitamin C levels in fruits (from Wikipedia article on Vitamin C)



I forgot to put baobab on there which is also super nutritious (has lots of Vitamin C, more calcium than milk). Wild fruits ARE superfoods, it seems.

Thanks Stancel,  Where do you get such fruits like Kakado? Baobab?

Lately I've been eating 2 to 3 mangoes a day because it's good for my tummy.
I recently got over some LBM problems.

I would like to know how it fits into your day...

Usually at 10-11 am. Sometimes in the afternoon.
Almost always 1-3 hours before the meat and fat.
But the same pattern is with the other kinds of fruits.

[SkinnyDevil]

I would like to know how it fits into your day...

Whenever it strikes me to eat fruit.

But then that's how I go about eating everything I eat - whenever I feel like eating, whatever I feel like eating. That means it changes periodically (sometimes in a day, sometimes weeks, sometimes months).

That said, I eat a LOT of fruit & veggies. Joking aside, if it weren't for the meat I eat, I'd be vegan (that is to say, I don;t eat dairy, etc.).

SD, I'm glad there's someone else here who eats tons of fruits and veggies. I'm looking up and realizing fruits and veggies are compromising 90% of my diet, and this is the best ever....
I feel you, too, on "If not for the meat I'd be vegan!" Though right now not even so much meat, but I'm going to make a regular, probably daily thing out of chowing down on this pig back fat that I'm so grateful to people here for turning me onto. This stuff definitely fills a specific need that coconuts and avocados don't cover.

My 10 year old boy in his healing episodes with raw paleo diet has now been able to identify his body requirements.  He knows when his carb intake is too low, he feels lethargic, he knows it's time to eat sweet fruits like a mango.

But he doesn't go overboard like vegans... those vegans or fruitarians are insane.

i eat sweet fruits mostly when i can pick them, and only certain ones i know i like
i lived in the middle of a peach/cherry/plum/apricot/pear/apple orchard but dont like or crave for peaches and the others just make me have serious candida issues and would do down the road and harvest mulberries and eat the !!!!!!!!!!! out of them..maximum deliciousness, but still deleterious as i often could not control my consumption
i really like berries with red meat tho
also for whatever reason i really enjoy a about a half a grapefruit per day in the winter....but i dont really like other citrus i find it too acidic?  fruit is weird

[cherimoya_kid]

I usually eat sweet fruit only as my last meal of the day, around 5 pm. Currently I'm eating lots of bananas, with some persimmons. I usually have a little raw honey and some raw fermented dairy with that.

[goodsamaritan]

I can't eat lots of bananas.  They activate a hypoglycemic episode in me.

I had a half a ripe mango this morning.

After smoking a joint, which isn't daily at the moment.

Sweetest fruit not necessarily the most popular!

Attached is a picture of our breakfast this morning.

A bunch of hydrating fruits:

- papaya (more hydrating than sweet)
- guyabano / graviola (sweetest)
- carabao mango (sweet and hydrating)
- melon (most hydrating, least sweet)
- persimmon (from south korea)(new fruit, just testing imported stuff because it is flooding the markets)

The most popular with our 3 kids, me, mom and 2 aunts is:

- carabao mango ( 1/2 is enough )

then melon and papaya

I was the only one who touched the persimmons (I tasted all of the fruits, hey, I bought them and I feed the entire house hold)

They all ignored the guyabano.

Why?  These mangos are like a first of this season.  People in the house have been mango starved for a few months.

Melons are also first of the season, and they are loved for their hydrating quality in the morning.

Papayas are every day staple and available year round.

Guyabano is the sweetest, but that's not what people are after.  There is that thing about delicious and refreshing in mango, melon and papayas which make them preferred fruits this time around.

Maybe I'm the only one who likes guyabano lately. 

My 10 year old boy had lots of guyabano at the start of his healing journey because his body had been asking for it.  Seems his body is topped up with guyabano nutrition and would rather have mango.

I have found with me that eating fruit plays with blood sugar, Except when I eat it after exercising.  But to wake up and eat fruit throws things off every time.  But to exercise first works well.  Doug Graham used to say the first thing; 'work for your food first'.  Probably why he and durian rider haven't contracted diabetes  yet, or have been able to control it through exercise.  But it's a treadmill,  always having to run or bike to the next county and back before eating each time.
