⁣Most of us believe that the consumption of Fruits &
vegetables is an important part of our diet.

Since being on the Carnivore Diet, I’ve not missed eating
fruits and vegetables. My system has got used to not consuming all that fibre
you find in vegetables.

The danger with eating too much fruits is that you can
consume too much sugar. The sugar in fruits is made up of sugar and fructose.
Too much fructose can adversely affect the liver.

Fruits that are very high in sugar content are dried fruits
especially raisins, dates, apricots, figs which have between 55 and 75 grams of
sugar per 100 grams. These should really be avoided.

The fresh very sweet fruits such as bananas, figs, grapes,
cherries, mangoes, Kiwi & pineapple should also be avoided if your body
does not tolerate carbohydrates, ie you experience an insulin surge. These
fruits contain between 12 and 20 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. These
days most of the fruit we get are engineered or manipulated to be sweet.

The next category of fruit that can be eaten in moderation
are apples, blueberries, apricot, orange, grapefruit, which have between 9 and
11 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. They are not as sweet as the previous
category, but they are still sweet and can cause insulin spikes.

The low sugar fruits are raspberries, blackberries,
strawberries and lemon are safe to eat on a regular basis.

Of course, age, metabolism, genetics, activity level and
insulin sensitivity play a part in how the body deals with sugar.
