Who has cut out most fruit?

This content has been removed.

I actually increased my fruit when I changed the way I eat. I went from hardly eating any to eating an apple or orange or cantaloupe (now that it's in!) or strawberries every day. My blood sugar is naturally on the low side, and whether it's this or the rest of my diet changes, I find that I feel better when I include fruit in my diet. And it hasn't affected my weight loss at all. If anything, it's helped, because I'll eat fruit instead of diving into junk or packaged snacks.

I haven`t cut out fruit, but if I did, I think I would notice a definite difference.The difference I would notice is I would be terribly sad, because I love fruit. It contains lots of nutrients and is nature`s candy! NATURE`S CANDY!

Eat fruit.

Yea, I get my fill of fruit early in the day b/cuz of the sugar. I don't want to cut it out completely, the nutritional value is great!

I found an article on this exact topic, I have posted it onto my MFP blog. Here is a small section of it that talks specifically about sugar from fruit vs sugar in pop

"Although the small amount of fructose in an apple or mango is fine because fruit's fiber slows down fructose's absorption (so your blood sugar doesn't skyrocket), the large amounts in sodas, candy, desserts, and candy-topped yogurt aren't. Here's what they do to your heart, bloodstream, and belt size:

•Added sugars spell double trouble for your waistline. First, there are the extra calories. Second, a big hit of fructose in added sugar makes you overeat by revving up ghrelin, your body's "I'm hungry" hormone.
•Added sugars invite diabetes. Why? Excess fructose drives up blood sugar levels by indirectly telling muscle cells to resist insulin's orders to absorb blood sugar.
•Added sugars raise your blood pressure. Downing lots of added sugars doubles your risk for hypertension. The systolic (top) blood pressure numbers for people in one test who consumed the fructose in just 2½ sodas a day were as high as 160. You (and your heart) want that number to be 115!"

I have cut out almost all fruit because of the carbs. But I'm a not very controlled diabetic and I've also cut out bread, potatoes, pasta, and many other things with carbs that a healthy person can and should eat. I try to eat more veggies, protein and fat to replace other carb foods. I have my goals set for less than 1/2 a lb per week but have been losing roughly 1 lb. I think that's because I've been exercising a lot more.

If I were healthy, I would probably eat 2 or 3 servings per day along with lots of veggies, some whole grains with moderate fat and protein.

I've cut out pretty much all fruit due to the sugar content. I see no reason to eat any at this time while still loosing weight, as any nutrients that you can get from fruits you can get from vegtables without the fructose. Once I am closer to where I want to be weight wise I'll add in lower glycemic fruits such as berries and melons, occasional peaches and plums and apples. For very rare occasions I may enjoy a bananna or watermelon, but really I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I don't eat a whole lot of fruit. I've cut my fat down to maybe 6% body fat. I eat a lot of berries though. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries.

I don't see why you would cut fruit.
There's way worse things with sugar in them to cut..

Fruit is good for you.

I don't eat a lot of fruit but mainly because I don't eat it quickly enough and it goes bad. I probably have 3-4 cups of frozen blueberries every week, one apple and one banana.

I would never cut out fruit. I've cut out all processed sugar (candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, etc.). I need to get the sweet tooth satisfied in some way otherwise I will go back to those other things. I don't eat fruit late in the day unless I'm working out at a later hour. I try to limit my carbs after 2 pm anyway.

How many of you got fat eating fruit? Not me! Fruit is a treat to me. I dont eat alot because I am diabetic, but I have to have my lemon everyday and my fake banana ice cream!
