and as much fruit as you like...

[Bateman]

is this the case, can you eat as much fruit as you like ? the only risk being that you might soil yourself when you sneeze ?

I love fruit and I eat a alot of it, my diet is clean except i love to eat fruit, grapes being my favourite...

[Alex Gold]

No, fruit is full of sugar.

I think you need to provide more information - is your target weight loss? Strength building? Endurance? Dental health?

I switch to a fruit diet to lean up and it works well. However, when I then cut the fruit out, I drop weight pretty quick for a cut, so clearly the fruit is contributing to me maintaining some of my weight

That said, noone ever got fat eating apples

Grapes are one of the most inslin spiking of fruits. The yanks used to mix creatine with grape juice to get better uptake.

I keep it to one piece of fruit a day at breakfast.

heres my ten penneth which is not backed up by mainstream bullshit..doh I mean science..

eat as much fruit as you want before lunch ( best is apples , pears and pineapple )
leave an hour after eating fruit before you eat anything else
do not eat fruit with anything else.

the main reason for the first point is to let your body complete the digestive cycle by not overloading your body with stuff that is hard to digest , ie bacon/pancakes/wheat etc

enjoy fruit sensibly lol.

Here is another idea that works brilliantly for me. Eat food that is natural to humans. Whether you believe in evolution or creationism, we have evolved/been designed to eat certain foods. I do have a cheat day but in general I avoid processed foods, including bread and dairy

However I think the paleo diet as prescribed by some is a bit over the top - no legumes, not tubers etc. They're fine IMHO

As above, fruit is really highin sugar... I'm no expert but I remember Gary Turner telling me once that too much fruit increases body fat because of this.

That being said, fruit is better than chocolate I guess...

I would guess the fruits to avoid too much of would be raisons and pineapple because they are loaded in sugar and calories. Apples, Melon, Blueberry, etc are low in calories and good for dieting.

I find the same as Leigh... I think one reason for the weight dropping off is Fruit and Vegetables weigh more per calories. Eating like 4 apples, 2 oranges, bag of prunes & appricots and 2 bannanas a day (like I usually do!) weighs a lot in my stomach. I also eat like 2/3 plates of vegetables a day... That weighs a lot more than say a mars bar, lol.

[DanCrase]

I fucking DETEST fruit (although I DO like watermelon) yet I love fruit juice.

[black gerbil1]

unless your eating more caliores then you burn, you will not put fat on from eating fruit.

[piratebrido]

How much body fat will you put on if you include fruit in your diet? Sticking within your calorie limit?

Will eating fruit have any real impact on those who are not trying to cut the last few lbs to fight weight?
