- swombat 18y agoHardly. "Slow down on the unhealthiest foods," perhaps. I love fruit. Should I slow down on fruit?
- rob 18y agoMost likely yes if you're eating tons of it a day.
- swombat 18y agoNah, most fruit is not energy-dense enough to cause you that kind of trouble. There's not enough room in your stomach to become obese on fruit. If you're eating a ton of fruit a day, keep doing it! It's probably the healthiest thing you can put in your mouth.
- tobyo 18y agoFruit is not bad for you but If you combine it with other sugary food it is no good for you To be super healthy eat lean protein sources in every meal, a ton of vegetables, some fruit, and some good fats like fish oil and olive oil.
- swombat 18y agoTotally agree. My point was opposing the "Slow down on what you love" advice, which I think is crazy.
- Tichy 18y agoI've actually read one book about "sugar addiction" where one candidate allegedly got their sugar fix from eating lots of fruit. Not sure how credible the book is, though, but I thought it was interesting. It did not say that fruits in general are bad.
- jordiculous 18y agoFruits aren't bad. Yes, fruits have sugar, but many fruits have a decent amount of fiber, as well. Fiber helps slow down sugar absorption. It's not that shouldn't have any sugar in their diet, ever. Natural sugars, eaten at the right time, in the right combination are better than processed garbage which will spike your blood sugars instantly. A good rule of thumb is whenever you're having anything that has fruit in it, it's a good idea to have protein right along with it. Even if it's just a few almonds or walnuts alongside that piece of fruit.
- orib 18y agoDon't gobble it down. Savor every bite. You'll enjoy it more, and you'll feel fuller on less food. So yes, slow down while eating it.
