Fruit eating on a diet?
Hi the sugar in fruits is mainly fructose which is metabolised differently by the body and leads to less weight gain. You do need a balanced diet but eating fruit and veg in moderation is the way forward- balancing with good carbohydrates like wholegrain breads and cereals and light meats like chicken.





I'd say anything more than 10 fruit portions in a day is a little excessive but far better than having something like an energy bar or crisps/chocolate etc.
Reply:There are different types of sugar that your body processes differently. The sugar in fruit does not automatically get stored as fat quite as easily as, say the sugar on a powdered donut.





Fruit is just healthier, OK. Your body desperately needs the vitamins and phytonutrients and fiber and who knows what other good stuff that is naturally found in fruits.
Reply:Fruit does contain fruit atural sugar and if you have a lot of fruit, u could gain weight i supose and be very energetic, but u at least need vergetables in ure diet!
