Do what makes you feel good and works for YOU!
I used to eat a lot of bananas, I stopped about a month or two ago. I did change my foods and pay attention to sugar because of several health reasons. Anxiety, fungal infections, digestive and imbalance. I feel like a new person with elimination of sugar- however this is recent. Higher carbs worked for a long time,.not now.
Listen to your body, do what makes you happy!

I didn't woo you, but strongly suspect the reason for the "woo"s was the implication that sugar triggers anxiety, fungal infections, etc. I'm not questioning your personal experience (you're the expert on that by definition
), but I haven't seen any sound research supporting that linkage at a general population level. I've heard it from some local chiropractors, but not in a context that offered clarity on the question of scientific support. 8 -

People misuse the Woo reaction all the time. I would be annoyed if I shared my personal experience and it got woo'd.
Years back, my mother was also able to alleviate a health condition by drastically reducing dairy and added sugar for a time.1 -

Thank you for this. I am talking from true experience. Its not just having sugar, it was not having nearly enough healthy fats and omegas. I am not advocating, selling or trying to convince anything. I
Clearly stated we are all unique, do what works for you. I ate tons of ( healthy) carbs for years- 1,2 or more bananas a day, yams, oats, etc
It started not working for my body. I simply traded avocado for bananas, etc.
I already decided after my last few postings I am not going to do any forums because too many people take things in unintended ways. There is so much negativity, criticism, non support or fellow sharing without backlash
. So I am being " woo" for telling my true experience. Ksasma2001, thanksfor the quote and happy to hear about your mom finding healing!

I find the suggestion that one either cuts way down on carbs, including high nutrient ones like fruit and veg and beans and lentils, or goes way low on fats to be an erroneous and misleading one. I did not woo anyone but I do consider that a false dichotomy and not good advice. It's fine that you or others prefer lower carb, but the suggestion that one must cut back on fruit for better health is a bad one, IMO. Very few people eat so much fruit that they are low on other nutrients (that some might fall into that trap was a point made earlier in the thread with the reference to Freelee). I also think the idea that fruit causes fungal infections, etc., is one not pushed by credible sources but by some less than credible ones (certain kinds of alternative medicine types).
I think it's worth noting that this thread was started by a poster wondering if he should be worried about too much fruit in a diet he said was working for him, so I would -- and I assume the wooers did -- take the "yes, fruit was bad for my health" anecdote to be telling the OP that he should worry about his fruit consumption. Context is important.7 -
Sugar only matters if that's all you eat.
