1. Open mouth
2. Insert fruit in mouth
3. Clench jaw forcefully, if necessary, to break off a piece of the fruit (this action is called "biting")
4. Move jaw up and down repeatedly to mascerate fruit (this action is called "chewing")
5. Swallow
6. Repeat as necesary until fruit is gone

Please note, for your greater enjoyment,some fruits should be peeled first.
They say you should not mix fruits with other food since fruits digest much faster than say meat, cheese, beans or else. It is said fructose in fruits makes other food get rotten in your stomach so you must eat other food at least half hour late after you had fruits.
What do you think of it? Is it true or just a gross exaggeration? Do you personally know any professional nutritionist who sticks to this rule in his/her prescriptions? If yes, how do they deal with classic dishes like cheese with grapes or oats with honey?
What an absolute bunch of cross-eyed badger spit.
Whoever the "they" is you seriously need to stop listening to their half-baked specious pulled-out-the-hat theories.
The avalanche of new age made-up advice on the internet is becoming epidemic.
An man goes to a doctor,. He has bananas sticking out of his ears, grapes sticking out of his nose, and kiwis covering his eyes. He takes a seat in the patient's chair.
"Doctor, I keep getting these sharp headaches every day. What's wrong with me?"
"Well, for starters, you're not eating properly."

Mmmm yeah, but that's a more advanced topic (along with stem avoidance and pit removal) that I was planning to cover in the 102-level course. Need to master the basics first. You don't just jump into programming assembly code without first knowing how to turn the computer on. Baby steps.
When I read the thread title I thought this was going to be about watermelon seeds and cherry pits. I've learned some new crackpot ideas though, so that's nice.
I read a book on that once. Raquel Welch also eats that way, as do some others. It's basically a not mixing groups of food at a meal (altho a little more complicated than that).
I don't think other foods would sour in your gut, if you ate fruit beforehand. But fruits contain particular enzymes that, when mixed with other nutrients and enzymes from other food, they all slow down the processing and interfere with the direct effect of the enzymes.
I did go on a diet once years ago where I practiced this. It did work better than most diets I ever went on. And I felt great and my skin looked firm and good (all the liquid in the fruits). It probably worked well for me because I love fruit. But ..... I can't live eating like that. So it's not a good diet pattern for me.
I do think it's true that if you eat only a certain group of food at a time, then those enzymes are able to do their thing in your system faster and more directly. But the thing is, I'm not sure that it makes that much difference.
You'd have to read a book on it to see what you think. I think it's valid up to a point, but I can't live that way, so it doesn't really matter. Eating a balanced diet at a meal doesn't seem to be harmful to mankind.
Thank you for your answer. It seems you are the only one here who answered on the subject competently. I also think this fermentation issue may be true to extent yet the problem itself may be an exaggeration. This dubious 'don't eat fruit with other food' is a hard rule to follow so I don't really want to strictly stick to it.
Just watching a segment of a show on Netflix (Pollan) on how good fermented food is for you. Still, fruit does not ferment in your stomach, but if it did.... it would be a good thing.

So everyone who doesn't agree with your asinine thoughts isn't competent?
