Tried FRUIT diet...never do it again

Why stay away from green apples? You cant beat a nice cold juicy granny smith before or after a workout. Anyone thats gonna tell me its bad is gonna have serious problems with me

Agreed - to much good stuff..pectin..polyphenols,etc in green apples to give up. Great food.

You know bro when I was doing the Palumbo diet, Dave told me to stay away from fruit and blah blah. The diet worked pretyy good but I was also the smallest and flatest I have ever been and the rebound was just terrible. Now I do a lifestyle diet with fruit and veg and I am bigger and leaner than I have ever been with even less "supllements" and sometimes I even eat 4-5 granny smiths a day!

Anyone that tells you to avoid food thats good for you is selling you a fad diet! Yeah I eat fruit and its good for you and you can get ripped by eating fruit, its low calories and it makes you feel good and gives you energy.... What more can a man want?

Fruit has not ever prevented me from getting lean, leaner in fact than I was able to get on starchy carb diets probably because there is no bloat or water retention for me. Only problem there is that it never fills me up enough strangely enough, fiber and all. Oats, rice, I need these it seems to fill me up when dieting.

I guess I thought the granny smiths are substantially higher in sugar content just based on the taste.

I like them post-workout

They're good for post workout but not something you would freely eat otherwise, right John?

I would not freely eat anything except for egg whites....or water.....personally.

Well, you crank to much fructose and you can get insulin resistant - so no, I wouldn't go crazy. Fructose levels vary by fruit....just don't go nuts on the ones with higher fructose ok...
