What exactly is a mono meal, and why is it beneficial? These are great questions that can be answered by taking a step back in time. You see, our ancestors, for thousands of years, wouldn’t have had access to the diverse array of delicious foods we find when we open our fridge.

It would’ve been more like finding a berry bush at its prime ripeness. Ancestrally, we would’ve understood that with no way to preserve such bounty, we’d have to eat as much as we could right then and there. Our bodies and brains are much better adapted to this, as it’s how humans ate for the majority of their time on this earth.

A mono meal is simply a meal that consists of just one thing. For example, eat a big bowl of watermelon, four bananas, or a large bowl of steamed sweet potato.

The benefits of mono meals are primarily related to digestive health. They remove the burden on your digestive system of having to differentiate between a variety of substances, each requiring different enzymes.

When I’m feeling bogged down and low on energy, I try to do a day or two of mono meals. This gives me a digestive reset and boosts my energy without caffeine or other stimulants.

The way we eat doesn’t always make sense. Combining starches, proteins, fats, and sugars is bound to create a digestive burden, which often shows up as discomfort, gas, and other pesky digestive issues.

When you take a break from complex meals, your organs have a chance to rejuvenate. Detoxification naturally occurs during this time, and you might find that when you return to your usual eating habits, you digest your food better and have more energy.
