Do you eat any fruit?

My situation with fruit is way much more than just meeting a carb limit. Through this woe I have found the source of the terrible pain I have lived with for what seems like forever. That pain creating substance is sugar. It doesn't matter where it comes from (bread, candy, veggies, fruit.....) It makes me hurt (headaches, body aches all over) when I eat even a small amount. So, even though I may miss fruit sometimes, it doesn't mean I want to eat it. The results aren't worth it, for me!
@Karlottap but how wonderful it is that you found the origin of your pain! No fruit is worth that suffering!

Almost none except for the occasional avocado, and I am cutting back on those. Low fruits is not a deprivation issue for me because I was not much of a fruit eater to begin with. I doubt I ate fruit more than a few times a month before my dietary changes.
Nuts and coconut are my hard ones to cut down on. Mmm, nuts.
I was having a couple of veggies per day but I am trying to cut carbs back now. I find I miss them a bit, but that could be just cultural training - it'sstill weird to not have side of veggies with my meats.
Why cutting back on Avocados?
I am experimenting, not too successfully, with eating carnivore. I enjoy having one or two a week though so they will probably not be skipped for too long. They are super yummy and I miss them a bit.0 -
@nvmomketo ... LOL you and me both. If it weren't for avocados and mushrooms I think I'd be a full fledged carnivore.0

And the nuts and coconut! Ugh. Now I want a snack of coconut and macadamia nuts, and then avocado, mayo and tuna for lunch....
Wow. LOL Amazing. I now consider that a high carb day. When did that happen? LOL

I always have berries in the freezer, but find I reach for them less and less. All other fruit is simply too sugary for me. I seldom eat fruit these days. If I do, I might have less than 1/2 serving of berries, maybe twice per week. I do eat avocado a couple of times per month.
I know that my body feels it's best when my carb count is low. Eating something sweet makes me crave to eat more carbs, something I don't want to do. It's just not worth it to me. I don't derive as much pleasure or nutrition from eating fruit to risk having cravings become out of control.0 -
Occasional small amount of raspberries and blueberries and of course the veggies that are actually fruits...0

This is the same reason why I don't eat fruit. The sugar simply makes me hurt all over, deep in my muscles. It's exhausting to be in pain all the time. It's easier to just say no.

Fair enough. I was more talking more about those of us who don't have any medical conditions.0 -
@christine_72 I knew where you were coming from. I choose not to have the fruits due to the sugars in them. I really don't have cravings at all and I know it's due to my low sugars (any kind of sugars..) today I ended up having sugar free worthers originals and now I'm craving something... My first bout of cravings since I started 6 mo ago. But I wanted to try something to see if I was ready to add some sugars back into my diet and clearly I'm not lol. I hid the bag of candy praying out of site out of mind takes over!0

I have a couple berries here and there, no more than a palm full.0

@reblazed and @nvmomketo
I am laughing because this so sounds like my own thought process...sincerely feel like I understand where you are at.0 -
Really miss the berries. Have them as a treat about 1once a month as fruit is a trigger for me.
After 8 months still getting my head past the many years of having 2-3 pieces of fruit a day. My body dosnt miss it, just my mind0 -
I don't eat any fruit. I've been increasing my carbs on days I run. I've been eyeing that fruit bowl every time I walk by it now0

@Christine_72 - I don't have any medical conditions (unless one counts hypothyroidism) but even a few strawberries and blueberries can kick me almost out of ketosis. But, if I'm somewhere where fruit and/or veggies is the better choice over carby sweets, I'm going for the fruits and veggies. 0

I miss fruit as a snack. Uninspired canteen lunches of a little meat, egg n salad means afternoon snack likely. Nowadays I have nuts but I can easy eat too many. I don't like protein bars due to sweeteners in them. Thus aside from the flavours, I do miss the portability n ease of fruit.0

Just some citrus fruit, lemon and lime juice to flavor club soda or sauces. Guess I'm drinking fruit lately! I miss bananas though.0

I love blackberries, but if you're looking for lower carbs, raspberries are a better option.

I eat serving of fruit a day. Raspberries at the best!!0

I eat a 1/2 cup of blackberries almost every day. They are my go to evening snack. I generally have a square of 85% dark chocolate and a club soda along with the blackberries. On a net carb basis they fit into my macros. I also eat raspberries from time to time. Recently I had about 1/3 of a tart apple. What a treat!0
