Fruits vegies

Sempai Posts: 447 Joined: 2002/06/06	2002/06/15, 09:53 AM I have been told by a friend that I eat too much fruit & veggies for someone trying to loose weight and tone my muscle (do to the sugars) . I eat 4 to 6 fruits plus 2-4 veggies (raw) per day. Is this true I thought if i reduced my carbs & fat and raised my protein a little it would be a good thing. Any comments are welcome ---------------------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.

Don't ever stop completely with the fruits (too many good vitamines inside) but if you want to loose weight then don't eat more than 2-3 fruits daily. I love fruits but they give me carb cravings afterwards. What I do is always eat my fruits with some source of proteins or fibres. This slow down the absorbtion of the carbs (in this case fructose) and it works for me. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

Fruits are also great, but limit those to maybe 3 servings, and none in the late afternoon to night, unless you're gonna use the carbs.

All vitamines can get dangerous if taken in too high quantity but luckily it's very rare (and the body eliminates the extra automatically in the pee and transpiration) -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
