Why is fruit shunned?

[Holly]

So much? I know many think it's high sugar, but it's a decent type of sugar.

I miss fruit. I'd like to trade in all my veggies for it :yum:

Ahhh - me too! I do love fruit.

[Brandy]

I don't shun fruit. :shrug:

[smuggie]

Neither do I. :shrug:

i have fruit all the time. PWO, refeeds and free meals. There is plenty of opportunity to add it if it isnt in your meal plan.

At times, its better to refuel with starchy carbs to fill muscle glycogen vs fruit which fills the liver?

when your dieting, at times you do remove certain food items. Depends are where your at, but like stated before , you can eat it.

It's not shunned for starters. If you're asking in your specific case, it's just not in the current plan. I'm certainly not against fruit intake.

Fructose also isn't a 'decent type of sugar'. It doesn't do much beyond reglycogenate the liver. Mind you, not all fruit is all fructose either. Most are a combination of fructose and glucose.

And unfortunately fruit and vegetables are not two foods that are 'trade worthy'. :)

very unfortunate... I'd love to trade broccoli for strawberries!

[Holly]

I didn't mean my case per say. It just seems a lot of people prepping for comp (at least on online sites) do not eat any (or very little fruit).

And I totally agree with Fitwolf about wishing the trade- brocoli = :yucky:

:lol3:

Not much...but I still had blueberries right up until the last week.

I think it mostly comes down to getting your nutrition in on low calories. Fruit is just something you can eliminate...like cookies. :cookie: :lol:

I don't shun it either. In fact, I was my leanest when I was eating a banana every day. Go figure.
