How Much Fruit in Your Low Carb Plan?

Ah yes the eternal question about fruit – how much we should have. The bottom line on that is your temptation threshold and the “just one more won’t hurt” syndrome.

There are however two things that you can do to help yourself. Stay away from temptation [maybe] and still feel like you’re eating lots of fruit and that is to choose vegetables that have a similar consistency to the fruit you want to eat and chop up smaller pieces of fruit into the roughly chopped vegetables. That way you get the sweetness and taste of the fruit without consuming high levels of fructose and remember to choose as much as possible fruits that are low in carb.

Hope that helps,
