I too was guilty of thinking "oh fruit is healthy, eat as much as you want" and frustrated with lack of progress - or even regression - in my goals. Then I started reading more about nutrition, got a coach, got a nutrition certification, etc.
There are certain food that you can eat if you aren't super diligent about tracking, weighing, etc. and still see great progress in whatever your goals are. Fruit definitely isn't one of them!

- cardiffspaceman 4y agoI know someone who used to work in sales at Weight Watchers. They said that WW found success in compliance by zeroing out the points for fruit and/or vegetables. Apparently clients were spending their points on other things before the change, and not getting ANY fruit or veg before the change. Stated that this phenomenon was regional; e.g. Californians tended to make room for fruit and veg in their point budget. I personally find most fruit juice so acidic that I only drink it with a big meal.
