		<description>Fruit is a tricky one for me. 

I used to eat fruit at all times of the day. As soon as I restricted it to mornings and afternoons, I noticed an improvement in my physique.

It&#039;s one of those foods that is easy to over-eat and I&#039;m glad you took a more cautious approach to the subject.

		<description>I try to follow your writing. And also the writings on lifespotlight, marksdailyapple and fitnessblackbook. And it all makes sense when it comes to dieting and training for health. The paleo focus seems logical.
But. When I read the arguments on waisays.com that also makes sense. 
According to waisays we don&#039;t have to be afraid of carbs in moderation, not even the ones coming from refined sugar (which is still half fructose, half glucose, the same as most fruits I guess) as long as we don&#039;t overdo the intake and try to combine it with fat. And by that adjusting the glycemic load.
It&#039;s more important to try to stay clear of grains and heated proteins.

I think that waisays.com is really interesting and would like to hear your opinion.</description>

		<description>Great post! Just discovered your blog. Very detailed and thoughtful post! 

I must say, I hear a lot of people say that they will improve their diet by eating lots of fruit. 

Its interesting to hear another perspective.

&lt;strong&gt;@ Kaizan: Glad you enjoyed it. I tried to clear up some confusion over the whole fructose/fruit saga going around at the moment. Hopefully you learnt some good tips on how to make the most of fruit without over ding it.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Really interesting article, man! I was actually thinking of becoming &quot;raw&quot; or like fruitarian or something. Do you have an opinion on that?

&lt;strong&gt;@ Nazim: Personally I cannot see any benefit to becoming a fruitarian. It makes sense that we have been created to eat a diet with a wide range of variety, colour and texture and that would point towards a more Evolutionary diet of vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits and lean meat plus varying spices and condiments. Sure eat your fruit but try to edge towards a more rounded diet.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Sorry Jane, I&#039;m diabetic and test my BGs all day long. Nature food and certainly fruit like peaches, grapes, melons, oranges will spike insulin greatly- as does does natural gains like rice, corn and wheat. Natural CLEAN foods are the key but thinking that being natural is okay is a bit navie. If that was the case, diabetes would be cured.</description>

		<description>I try to eat ONLY what is in season locally. Just because something is &quot;good for you&#039; doesn&#039;t mean more is better. And if it is processed and packaged means it isn&#039;t real fruit. I eat plenty of self picked blueberries in the summer but before the apples are ready- I will fast from all fruit for two weeks. Less is more.</description>

		<description>You can&#039;t really go wrong with fruit IMO.  Sure, stay away from grapes if you can, but most of the others are fine.  As long as you&#039;re not consuming refined sugar I doubt that you&#039;ll run into too many problems with any fruit.

My one word of advice however, stick to seasonal fruit.  Our bodies were not meant to consume summer fruit in the winter, and winter fruit in the summer.  The same goes for sleep right, you should sleep more in the winter than you do in the summer, we&#039;re just wired that way.</description>

		<description>Good post, although I don&#039;t agree with all of what you said.

I am currently eating high fruit with some green juices. That&#039;s all I eat really, fruits. I am doing this since a bit more than 5 months now. My digestion has never been better. My body fat melted away and my cellulite is almost all gone. I had and still have the best and most amazing body transformation. 

Before that I was vegetarian for many many years, then I was eating the typical bodybuilding diet, followed by eating keto style, then followed by eating paleo/primal. With all those fruit fearing &quot;diets&quot; I never achieved what I did on a almost exclusive fruit diet. 
I feel great, alive and I wouldn&#039;t wanna change it.

Don&#039;t fear the fruit or the fruit sugar. Just make sure you eat your fruits ripe. Fruit is natural food and there is no insulin spike at all. I measured it myself. Nature&#039;s food don&#039;t spike insulin at all. Insulin spikes only happen with man made foods.

And ripe fruits should only be eaten on an empty stomach. 

Take care

		<description>As usual, nice thoughtful write up Chris.

It&#039;s really easy to go overboard on fruit, especially if you&#039;re packing it into things like smoothies with honey etc... That sugar really starts to add up.

I been wondering something lately. Why do we always hear &quot;diet high in fruits &amp; vegetables&quot;. Shouldn&#039;t it be the other way around?

&lt;strong&gt;@ Grok: I agree it should be the other way around, that&#039;s why I like to CrossFit prescription for eating. As for fruit adding up in smoothies is a typical example, what people think are healthy can easily turn into a sugar bomb thanks to all the added honey, agave, banana&#039;s and mango that smoothies seem to have.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
