What fruits to eat while on a low carb diet? My intake is 2700/day, any suggestions?
If you want fruit, then go for the dark fruit such as blue berries...Since you are on a low carb diet, you might want to avoid eating a lot of fructose. It gets stored in the liver and has a more negative effect on the insulin/glucagon ratio
yeah blueberries are great - high in anti-oxidants too. Carrots have sucrose as opposed to fructose - and you have to eat a tonne of them to effect your low-carb diet in a major way.Thanks! I was just going to snack on fruit to crave the sweets!!!! Very small amounts!
Crystal Light FTWFruits are tricky in a low carb diet, but blueberries take the cake because they are sweet and have so many healthy benefits. Other than that you kinda stuck with veggies and maybe some Crystal Light in water to ward off cravings. Works well for me.
I eat fruit everyday and I've lost close to 100lbs since I started attempting weightloss. They haven't stopped me lolI don't think you need to worry too much about having some fruit in your daily diet unless you are really going nuts. I eat peaches, strawberries, bananas, apples, grapes, pineapple etc all the time and I am doing okay
If you are really concerned just check out a website with a list of nutritional information of foods (google, easy to find) and pick less calorie dense fruits. Berries tend to be low-cal generally speaking, and most have lots of fibre and antioxidants which provide additional benefits.
good call - all my berries are frozen - it's cheaper that way and go awesome in shakes :bandit:a particularly neat trick is freezing the blueberries or grapes. tends to make you eat them slower, and it changes the taste some of blueberries in a nice way.
...bananas are alkaline as well - smart choice :bandit:Bananas
exactly. . . :bandit:Why worry about the sugar intake dealing with fruits? Why not just eat some greens...spinach, broccoli, asparagus, romaine lettuce...very full of vitamins and minerals, and don't have to worry about calories....
Not saying don't consume fruits, but if one was on a low carb diet....why not just eat a bunch of greens? Curious.
Am I going to have to school you in your basic foodgroups :scared:fruit? I'd go with vegetables. Raw Carrots, Celery, Peppers.
Do they keep the doctor away? :ugh1: :laugh:Yuh.. I'm a big fan of fruit..
Apples (sometimes 4 a day for me ), blackberries (ridiculously calorie-sparse.. and nutrient dennnnnse, and Delicious!).
from one of my standard posts in the weight loss area...Not to mention, if you are snacking on fruit or adding it to a meal it could very well help curve any desire to eat or binge on the real not so good carbs.
