no carb diet?

What about orange,banana,apple,grapes,watermelon?

just randomly looking through the food database

orange--24g carbs, 4g fiber, 18g sugars ==NOT a zero carb food

banana--27g carbs, 3g fiber, 14g sugars == NOT a zero carb food

grapes (1 cup)-- 27g carbs, 1g fiber, 23g sugars ==NOT a zero carb food

watermelon (1 cup)-- 21g carbs, 1 g fiber, 20g sugars==NOT a zero carb food

in comparison....

Raspberries (1 cup)-- 13g carbs, 8g fiber, 5g sugars

blackberries ( 1 cup)--14g carbs, 8g fiber, 7g sugars

I could have a cup each of blackberries and raspberries for the same carbs as a banana, 5x as much fiber, less sugars. which do you think would keep you fuller longer? I definitely think I would be fuller on 2 cups of berries than A banana

Berries are my preference of all fruit, my home-grown strawberries sitting about 20m away especially so

Yer typical apple from a supermarket, for example, bears little resemblance to what we would have been eating even 50 years ago, never mind the longer view. Way sweeter.

We tend to forget that the whole '5 a day' thing was marketing driven ...
