It's probably fine to go without fruit, as your ancestors can't possibly have eaten it every day. However, I find that a diet too heavily focused on vegetables leaves me still wanting "dessert" even when my stomach feels full; fruit calms that feeling. Also fruit is great for slowing down a meal and for adding a lot of bulk relative to the calories inside.
- lkbm 5y agoThat makes sense. I do often find myself craving a dessert after eating what is otherwise a very satisfying meal. I should try fruit afterwards. A few years ago, whenever I felt too full from a big meal, I would eat a banana, which felt like it helped. (Alas, this morning I opened up the freezing while making a salad for breakfast and discovered that a housemate had left a massive ice cream cake in there, so I had no choice but to indulge.)
