Fruit on a low carbohydrate
diet? Well, it all depends first on the fruit, second
on the timing of when you eat it, and finally on how your
body reacts to it.
The best fruits for a low
carb diet would be lemons, limes, plums, grapefruit, strawberries,
watermelon, kiwi, and peaches. (Strawberries are also a decent
source of fiber.)
The worst ones include
grapes, pears, bananas, and mangoes.
The timing is also important.
Fruits should be eaten after a meal high in protein, not as
an in between meal snack or for breakfast. The reason is that
fructose can play havoc with your blood sugar level, depending
on how sensitive you are to it. By having it as a dessert
you are using the protein to slow down your bodys absorption
of it.
Everyone has a different
level of tolerance for the sweetness of fruit. For some, it
sets off intense cravings for more or worse, for sugar.
For others, the feeling of having had a sweet
makes it difficult to avoid over-doing it. But for many, an
occasional piece of fruit is simply a well-earned reward that
makes it easier to follow a program at all the other meals.
