Same as sweetteadrinker2, I just don't eat as much. Lately I've been having blackberries and strawberries with cream and keto-friendly granola made with nuts, coconut oil, butter, sweetener, (for me Ideal xylitol), coconut, and I added a little Trader Joe's flax and chia peanut butter--yum. You can also make some fat bombs. There are loads of great recipes out there.

I omitted fruit for 30 days and have been having 1/4 cup of either raspberries or blueberries with a slug of HWC every day. I don't think you have to stay away from fruit but you don't want to be dumping a couple of bananas in your smoothie. Berries have fiber and are satisfying (to me) and they fit in my less than 25 net carbs.

For me, I've just found that the best thing is to avoid anything sweet altogether. For a while, I tried to drink coffee with Splenda, but all it did was feed into cravings for more sweets. Instead of my usual two cups a day, I was soon drinking six cups. It finally dawned on me that I wasn't drinking more coffee because I needed the caffeine. I was drinking it because I was craving something sweet. I dropped the Splenda and the cravings went away.

So... no fruit for me. No sweet anything. If I stay away from that stuff, I don't miss it at all.

I think of fruit like candy, and eat it rarely and sparingly when I do. Only berries, and no juices.

Five servings of fruit per day is equivalent to the amount of sugar in 16 ounces of soda (500 ml). Contrary to what many people believe the sugar is more or less identical (about 50% glucose, 50% fructose).

Sugar from fruit can shut down fat burning. This can increase your hunger and slow your weight loss. For best results avoid fruit – or enjoy it occasionally as a treat.

My go-to fruit is raspberries and, rarely, I have a sliver of apple just because I love it so.

It's very cold now so I don't miss fruit so much. I think I was used to eat fruit when I should in fact be drinking fluids so now I drink tea or just hot water with mint leaves or a drop of lemon.

I know this is probably silly but I still worry a bit that I'll get scurvy or something from not enough vitamins.

Ever since Keto I have missed "honey crisp" apples. I bought one a few months back and took four days to eat it (LOL!), it's still is definitely a treat.

I still eat berries a few times a week. Raspberries with HWC and a little bit of sweetener is an amazing treat. I also make strawberry smoothies with about 5 berries that I froze from last Summer. Locally grown strawberries in the Summer have so much more flavour so I use less than I would if I bought them at the store in the Winter.

Thanks for the link Dragonwolf!
