Do you believe fruit makes you fat?

Question

Do you believe fruit makes you fat? I have been getting attacked by people on the internet for transitioning to a plant based diet incorporating plenty of fruit. Most say the sugar in fruit makes you fat but animal protein doesn't 😂 What are your thoughts?

Answer

Just remember that fruit is not a good base for a diet. Its really good for you, but not a good source of protein or fats

Answer

Anything can make you gain weight if you eat 3000 calories worth of it lol but no. I deal with that too. “But the sugar!!!” Okay Bob. Keep eating your bacon and I’ll keep eating my apples.

Answer

Fruits are good for you but you have to make sure you aren’t eating too much of them. That’s a lot of sugar and carbs.

Answer

This is the stupidest statement I’ve ever heard. Do you have any idea how much fruit one person would have to eat just to be consuming a moderate-in-carb diet? Not to mention the micronutrients, fiber, and filling water aspect of it. This is part of the typical American’s all-or-nothing approach to dieting and bodes very poorly on long term sustainable change. Please don’t listen to it.

Answer

I'm with you. There's no way eating bacon is better for you than an apple. Fruit sugar is perfectly fine🍎🍉🍊🍌

Answer

Animal protein doesn't make you fat nor does fruit as long as it's in moderation. The paleo diet cuts out bread, starches, beans ect but you can have as much red meat as you want. That diet works. My husband and FIL lost a ton of weight on that one.

Answer

Moderation is key with anything. Too much of anything can be a bad thing. I cant say if it makes you gain weight or not. But yea. Just moderation.

Answer

The only thing that makes you fat is consuming more calories than you burn in a day. No food type is the problem. 
Literally all doctors would tell you fruit is beneficial due to being an unprocessed hydrating snack rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Answer

Fruit has a lot of sugar, even if it is in a different form. I limit it because of that. I treat it like dessert

Answer
