I first read about this method of eating in a Natural
Hygiene tract. They refered to it as "monodiet" or
"monomeal". The theory they presented is that it would
be natural for early humans to "gorge" themselves on
certain foods (like berries or fruits) when those
foods came into season. Later, the NH folks figured it
would also be good method for enhancing
"internal cleansing".

I find the monodiet or monomeal concept appealing, but
I do have a question for anyone who practices it. Do
you ever get "cravings" for other foods after you've
eaten your monomeal (like for sweets after meat)? If
so, do you just "ignore" the craving, or does it
become the basis for your next meal?
