    Fructose is processed by the liver, like alcohol, so it puts a strain on the liver. 2 pieces of fruit a day is perfect. If you're craving something sweet then fruit is the best choice instead of some processed sweet..

    Honestly, screw all these opinions. A big navel orange (around 100 cal) fills me up more than beans or nuts. 2 Tbsp of almonds is 100 cal.... and it doesn't taste so good. People in America started getting obese in 1980, it's the processed *kitten* that makes you fat. Eat natural and you'll be fine. And for the smoothie argument, add a scoop or two of protein powder to your smoothie and once again you're fine.

    A lot of people here limit fruit intake and then eat a shitload of processed food and justify it as fiber and fat. Keep your calories below the limit and you will lose weight no matter what.

    You tell people to eat naturally but then advocate for dumping protein powder in a smoothie? wut?
