Yes, fruits first thing is best because they get assimilated quickly & don't need to be mixed with other foods which creates a problem. But sprouts right after fruits is fine. Milk is okay with sweet fruit, not sour. However, the best is if milk is had all by itself & fruit separately all by itself. This way both get utilized in the way that is most healthful. All meals should be kept simple rather than complex. Just as life.

Please follow my basic guidelines. It will surely help but you need to exercise & get plenty of sunshine. When you go to the gym, eat an extra handful of nuts. As you grow older you will anyways gain weight. So enjoy being slim.

So sorry to hear about what you & your son are going through. Please see a good Ayurveda & Homeopath to help you both able to cope better with the chemotherapy. When a child has no appetite, fruits & coconut water are ideal. Organic brown rice is absolutely essential to help the body heal. Read my basic guideline. If you follow this, the child will not even know there is a change. Only the base ingredients will change, his favourite foods will remain the same. With just a bit of creativity, food can be made delicious for the entire family. Please do agnihotra to heal the atmosphere & your family (www.shivpuri.org).

I am really glad you want to reduce only from your tummy. That is the way to go rather than having some golden number in your head. Please read the basic guideline. The more you follow the guideline, the quicker you will lose weight. Remember that you will not lose weight by eating less but by eating whole & natural. The very problem of weight gain is because we eat refined foods which temporarily satisfy the belly but not the cell. So the cell sends out a hunger signal soon after a meal making us eat again. Simplify your meals & choose unrefined foods beginning with organic brown rice & see the difference in your weight, especially your flat stomach. The other rewards will be better health & more energy.

First & foremost children need lots of love & attention. Besides this, please follow my basic guideline & give him lots of dried fruits especially dates & raisins. Also green leafy vegetables. Please take care of him & ensure he eats well & gets lots of sunshine.
