Default "Fruits are great for you!". Really?

It highly depends on each individual. For some, fruit consumption does not
impede weight loss and is therefore not harmful. For others, even one bite of
fruit can bring about a stall. There are so many contributing factors toward
obesity that it is ludicrous to single out fruits as being harmful merely
because they contain sugars. Once again, look at the kinds of diets that have
produced obesity; they do not consist of natural, raw and obviously
unsweetened
fruits. I entirely understand your position that tolerable foods become
harmful
after we get fat. But, nearly everyone on any flavor of low-carb diet
struggles
with the inescapable reality that they don't want to eat strictly low-carb
for
the rest of their lives. This is why all low-carb plans eventually include
fruits, vegetables and even some whole grains in their maintenance phases.
What
you're suggesting works in an induction phase, but is not meant to be
followed
for years.


Check your BG, and only eat fruit that are in season-ish.
