    Some people- like your no fruit person- don't actually take the time to learn about low carb eating and just assume it's all meat and cheese- which is incorrect. Even in Atkins they suggest you to choose lower sugar fruits like berries over higher sugar things like watermelon, BUT neither is forbidden.

    I really don't care how anyone else eats, but I *REALLY* hate when people decide they need to share their dieting wisdom with me unasked, like this person did to you.
    Pretty much this. A little fruit isn't going to derail anything, even Atkins. The thing with people offering unsolicited advice is that rarely have more than a rudimentary understanding of the subject at hand, and usually don't even fully understand the basics of the system they are advocating.

    The only thing is, regarding the Atkins Diet, isn't it in stages or something and some stuff, including fruit has to be omitted. So yes, even a little fruit would change the aspect of that diet, this is why many on that plan, crave fruit and veggies after a while, because they cannot have any.

    I was eating a nanna a day. But This week I cut them out. I half to say Ive had a better loss this week. I always thought they helped keep me full. In a couple of weeks I will introduce them back in and see the results.

    It's amazing how there are so many different choices and different ways of obtaining fitness ..

    I believe it is a personal journey that we share so we can give and receive support ..

    I also believe What's Good for the Goose ... Isn't always Good for the Gander ...

    Personally I find that at present I am achieving weight loss by moderation all round. For health reasons I watch my salt intake and leafy greens, but eat fruit and avoid alcohol. Sensible approach is my intent so that there is no difficulty in achieving maintenance
    Ie looking for sustainability.

    Sugar makes you fat. Fat doesn't make you fat. Fruit is good for you in moderation but moderation is the key. Obviously you don't wanna eat a bunless Big Mac all the time but I think the point your friend was making is that, the satisfying fat from the Big Mac won't put weight on you the way a large portion of fruit will. Sorry to the disagreeing folks but it is truth for me. I've tried them all and low carb works. By the way, I eat vegetables and fruits more now than I ever did doing low calorie. I have just learned what things I can indulge in and what things I have to take it easy on.
