Is tofu more healthy than fruits and vegetables?

Off course NO! Is it bad for your health? Like anything... YES if you eat too much of it.

But if you are considering the helathiest option for your protein then you have a better decision to make: use plenty of fruits and vegetables!!! :)

Do not worry... tofu is great option to use compared to meat ;)

 

BREAKFAST
The best way to break your fast (try to eat your dinner as early as possible to have a long fast every night) is with fruits. Lots of them. Fruits are not calorie dense and therefore you need to eat bigger portions of them.
There are few rules to follow when eating more fruits:
- always eat them on empty stomach since they diggest very fast and can make troubles if eat them after some heavier meal. The best is to eat them BEFORE meal or eat entire meal of raw fruits and veggies
- do not combine too much fatty foods with fruits since fats can mess up proper insulin function. This goes for all carbohydrate foods and fats... try to limit fats in your food
- eat fruits that are ripe and taste good. Bananas must have little brown spots.
- try to get as best quality as possible, preferable organic
- do not mix too much different fruits at same time.
