As long as you feel satiated after your orange meal, there is nothing to worry about :)

Thank you so much!! Yes, I'm not going to worry about it then. That's been a struggle for me starting this diet, is being comfortable with the fact that it's OKAY to eat a large amount of one fruit. I kept feeling very hesitant to eat so much at one sitting but the more I learn about this way of eating, the more I realize that everyone is having large amounts, so I don't need to worry about it.

Oranges for mono-meals are wonderful!! I can easily eat 10 - 16 oranges in one sitting - so if you like them, go for it ;D

Well, oranges tend to be watery and juicy, meaning while they look big, what is actually being digested is much smaller.  Many of them may only be 50 calories a piece.  So 9 oranges is about 450 calories.  That is a small meal or a nice snack just as you described.

I am an orange fanatic and many days may eat at least one mono meal of them.  Right now, I have some sweet juicy babies from California.  Yumm!

Peace, PK

Thats good stuff have fun with it.

Weird thing I have noticed. Nobody every asks if it is OK to eat butt loads of junk food.

example.  2 lb bag of mm. Super size me. 4 liters of soda a day. Big bags of chips soaked in Hydr oil.

But when it comes healthy food, or food that is good for you people want to check with their Doc first.

I thry to think about that from time to time.  Mother nature knows more then Corporate America.
