Ive heard that model Claudia Schiffer eats only fruit for breakfast. Id like to try that to get a kick start on my new years resolution to lose weight ( so cliche, i know!), but its sounds like it wont be that filling and also a bit dull after awhile!
What are other fruit based breakfasts besides fruit salad, fruit smoothies or slushies and straight up fruit?

This type of all fruit breakfast may not be all it seems to be. I know that Marilu Henner wrote a diet/fitness book that also had the same thing in it, only fruit for breakfast, but they also ate again in about 2 hours with a meal including some protein and carbs, such as lowfat cheese with whole wheat bread. So I think that the fruit only part applies only to the first thing you eat when you break your fast after you wake from sleeping all night.
I think the secret to lose weight is to eat 6 small meals of about 200-300 calories each, depending on your needs, and start off with fruit to kick off your metabolism in the morning.
If you do not like eating fruit, I suggest eating fruited yogurt (lowfat with no sugar added) with some All-Bran cereal mixed in it (one serving) and a few fresh berries (Half a cup)
for breakfast. Steer clear of juices that are usually high in added sugar.
I tried an eating plan with the yogurt prepared as above for breakfast, a lunch with sliced deli turkey (3 ounces) wrapped in low carb wheat tortilla with lettuce and mustard, with a cup of low cal soup(Progresso brand has 60 calories per serving), a small apple or pear or tangerine, and a 100 calorie pack of those snack crackers they sell.
I had planned meals at dinner where I cooked every night, which got tiresome, but it worked. I originally went on the diet to help my husband lose weight since he had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He lost 55 pounds in 4 months.
I would check out the diet plans at American Heart Association Website, these are very good and have been used for many years with success.
Good Luck
