so I had a question from someone that

wanted to know can I eat fruit once I

lose the weight let’s talk about that so

the answer is yeah you can eat it but it

comes with a package so let’s talk about

that package fruits have been grown to

be sweeter higher in sugars okay you

ever take a look at an apple now I mean

it’s like eating candy it is so filled

with sugar way back long time ago fruit

was not that sweet it was actually sour

a lot of the fruits had no resemblance

of what they look like now so that’s one

factor number two fruits are seasonal

but of course you can buy fruits all

year round

so if you’re constantly eating a lot of

fruit you’re getting a lot of fructose

and the problem is the liver has to do

with that sugar when you have glucose

you have the entire body cells that can

deal with it

but anything with fructose or high in

fructose the liver is forced to

metabolize it and that can lead to all

sorts of issues including insulin

resistance

so unfortunately fruit in general is not

keto friendly however there are fruits

that are lower in sugar okay avocados

that’s considered a fruit you may think

it’s a vegetable but it’s actually a

fruit I don’t even think it has any

sugar has carbohydrate but probably not

any sugar lemon limes okay so you can

start eating as many of those as you

want of course you probably not going to

do that because that’s not the fruit

that you had in mind

coconut that’s considered a fruit very

low in carbs and I’m not talking about

coconut water that’s very very high in

carbs it’s a refined product and then

you have tomato which actually people

think it’s a vegetable but it’s actually

a fruit tomato with all the fiber is

pretty safe in general pomegranate seeds

are okay as long as you don’t do the

pomegranate juice okay that’s a

concentrated carbohydrate star fruit is

lower on the glycemic index and berries

are good okay raspberries are the best

and then you have blackberries

strawberries in blueberries but a small

amount of berries is totally fine and

then people want to know about what

about cherries well cherries are they’re

not really really high but they’re right

in the middle but they do have a lot of

show

and you have tart cherries which are

better than the real sweet cherries and

what about melons

well cantaloupe is better than

watermelon and if you have small amounts

probably be okay but you can overdo it

very easily but the big question is

let’s say you hit your ideal weight goal

or your health goal right and you want

to add some fruit back in there question

is what is your history of abusing sugar

like myself I abuse sugar to the extreme

and so if I actually try to go back to

some carbs I do not do well my system is

very sensitive to carbs and I do very

well on the ketogenic plant so let’s say

for example if you have an abuse trigger

and you were not raised on sugar and you

don’t have insulin resistance and you

have a fast metabolism and you don’t

have a weight problem and you don’t have

any health problem you could probably

get away with more fruit and most people

so go ahead and test it for yourself see

how you do so the main thing is you just

want to take a look at all the data make

a judgment call think for yourself as

compared to having some cookbook

approach where you’re rigidly following

this exact food and you never deviate

and you’re eating it because someone

told you had to do it exactly this way

but you don’t really have the full

understanding all right so thanks for
