Chris, a few months back I had switched to eating only fruits for breakfast and I noticed a huge power surge when running. At the time I did not notice the lack of "bonk" feeling at all. It wasn't until I started eating all the granola cereals this week again because I was trying to be cheap that I noticed how bad I felt when I do eat cereal for breakfast. When eating fruit breakfasts, I really don't have to eat until late in the evening again, even when I run for a couple hours in between. With cereals, I MUST eat within a couple hours or I start feeling like I am going to pass out and I get the shakes really bad. This happens to me with eggs and breads to. Weird how that works. I don't think I could become a complete fruitarian like that guy you referenced, but you can't beat fruit for breakfast. It starts your whole day off on the right foot, or left foot if you wish.This guy would agree with you!

I have the same issue. I normally have porridge and honey, with raisins, for breakfast and the number of days I have to head to the corner bodega for bacon and egg on a bagel after my run to work are legion. Maybe I'll have to go with fruit for breakfast.With cereals, I MUST eat within a couple hours or I start feeling like I am going to pass out and I get the shakes really bad.

Amazing the power of fruit.
Don't Skip Breakfast!
I think this might be one of those conventional wisdom things that could use re examination. I have tried doing a quasi warrior diet for a month or so (not paleo) where I ate twice a day around 4:30 pm 8 PM and it worked quite well.
