Not all fruits are high carb. Plus many have great fiber which plays an important internal cleansing role.
I myself dont go for fruits, but go with veggies and some slow carb grain products. But there are some low sugar fruits that have great fiber for you along with great vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. And of course portioning is important and gnerally following the advice not to just eat carbs by themselves, but pairing them up with protein and fats.
I think the standard diet advice is total crap.
It’s insane how badly overdosed the modern diet is on carbs.
If you exercise a lot, yes eat carbs or you’ll be sluggish.
if you don’t, cut way, way, way back.
A sugar is a sugar is a sugar... carbs turns to sugar, the Spanish American War was fought over sugar...
Fruit?
Pyramid?
This study, that study.
Body regulation? Math?
To keto or not to keto?
There has to be an easier way. How about starving yourself a couple/few day a week. Or eating 1 meal per day?
So many choices. Runners are wearing out their knees and that is not a concern? Runners who force high levels of inflammation and over use NSAID drugs are telling is to cut carbs and reduce inflammation? And now that same insane group us telling us what to eat but don’t question their neurotic urge to screw up their physiology?
I have my doubts. But occasional periods of intermittent fasting and healthy (unprocessed) one meal per day works for me. And don’t forget the apple cider vinegar and fermented nightshades!
