I eat hardly any ''sweet' fruit, true.
When I started the diet, I followed the fruit portions more closely, and mixed colors as you say...but found I was not losing weight. When I started remember I was 30lbs heavier. I felt if I cut back on the sweet fruit for breakfast- to one sweet fruit- or even strawberrys, with oil or nuts(I prefer nuts) etc. and keep the rest basic, maybe I'd start losing. The truth is I like less sweet and more tomato/cucumber anyway.
When I read the quantity of fruit some of you eat, I'm in

If your not hungry after 5 then great.
But your body may need the energy because as long as you eat only what your body needs you will lose wieght.
Do you walk?
A while back I did have trouble with hunger and it was when I was eating processed foods. Since Wai and my two juice fasts over four months I really am not hungry anymore. In the uncomfortable sense. I look forward to my tomato/cucmber very much
Sometimes I try and sit in the sun with my T&C salad and it's wonderful!
I think for a few years there I messed my body up pretty well and it is still recovering. "As long as I eat what my body needs" isn't as easy, for me, as it sounds. I've had an eating disorder in the past...which reared it's ugly head in January and not since...but what counts is I am in control of what I am putting in my mouth, for the first time in years. And I like what I'm eating.
I do realize I am eating approx 4-5 meals/snacks a day instead of 9-10...When I reach my set weight, I'll consider changing the diet to see how I do.
