Are fruits bad for losing weight?

only if you fall face down in them

berries like blueberries, acai and others fruits like pineapple, apples, oranges & bananas are excellent sources of fibre & nutrients that you need to stay healthy while you lose weight. Pineapple for example is one of the few sources of bromine and apples contain pectin which helps to avoid accumulation of excess cholesterol. If you've ever had gallstones you'll know why this is important (some studies have suggested that repeated rapid weight-loss can contribute to the formation of gallstones and they ain't fun)

just remember to only eat 2 or 3 portions a day and try to maximize your intake of veggies. You'll be fine

It is kind of rude to say they're "bad" for losing weight., just because society says fruits should be plump. They can lose weight if they want to, just like anyone else.

STAHP THE FRUIT SHAMING.

Depends, are they chocolate covered fruits?
Mmmmmm....

I eat atleast 3 fruits a day.This is provided i dont eat other added sugars a lot.I lose weight just fine.

I just read about a legitimate scientific study that showed bananas are less filling than some common junk foods. That's the extent of my scientific knowledge, lol! And I will still eat my bananas, because I like them!

At the end of the day, fruit's better than junk food, even if it is high in sugar. As long as you are eating a well-balanced meal and aren't finding yourself starving between meals because your food isn't filling you up, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Really? Hmm interesting! I LOVE my nanerz and they are always my go to when I am hungry!! I feel full enough from them at least. Science... shmeh! :P

I was told that foods high in sugar go through you fast, leaving you hungry faster than low sugar foods. So, should I stay away from fruits? If so, what foods other than fruits have high protein and high fiber and low sugar?

Beans, are the closest fit to your description. High fiber, good source of protein (it varies by bean, and not as high as meat, but still pretty good), low sugar, low calorie.

Nuts would also fit, but since they also contain a lot of healthy fat, they are much higher calorie.

BUT, no fruit is not bad for losing weight. True, they are not the most filling food, but that still doesn't make them bad. It just means you need other foods as well. Fruits are a great source of nutrients.

You'll get mixed answers, but personally, I eat loads of fruit and I'm happy with my progress.

I think this varies by person. I will never enter into a debate BUT from personal experience, when I eliminated fruit from my otherwise healthy diet, the weight came off much quicker. I was on the journey with 2 friends that kept fruit in their diets and they lost without a problem. I was initially in tears because I was doing all the working out (more than my friends), eating healthy, etc. and it wasn't happening as quickly as I thought it should be. As soon as my personal trainer suggested I eliminate the fruit, it was magic.

Fruits are of course good for us...I take a multivitamin, eat tons of veggies (non strachy), and lean meats...again I believe all of us are unique and what works for one may or may not work for the next person.

Can't eat fruit because of the sugar. Can't eat meat because I'm killing the animals and the human body can't digest it. Can't eat wheat and grains and veggies because cavemen didn't. Can't eat Pop Tarts because they're made of Windex and beaver secretions. Can't eat the McRib because it's made of a yoga mat. Can't drink water because of water intoxication and hyponatremia. Can't eat white food because of the starch. Can't eat gluten because it's gluten. Can't drink diet sodas because rats died in California. Can't eat Twinkies because Hostess shut down. Can't drink coffee because it's a diuretic. Can't microwave food because of Death Star planet destroying Death Rays. Can't eat peanut butter because someone at work or school or the passerby on the street might have some nut allergy.

This weight loss thing is gonna be a piece of cake!! Wait...can't have cake..nevermind.

I've been eating plenty of fruit lately (mostly bananas) and the weight's coming off nicely. I used to believe fruit (especially bananas) was a weight loss killer. But duh, it was all the empty calorie crap I was overdosing on that was really bad for my weight loss.
