Thank you,
Smitha.
ANSWER:
Hello Smitha,
I am so glad you asked this question, because if fat loss, and bellyfat loss in particular, are your goals, you MUST control/reduce the amount of fruit you eat!!!
Although fruit is “natural” and contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, it is also high in fructose which is a simple sugar, and therefore can reek havoc in people’s weight loss efforts.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, a leading natural health expert recommends no more than 20 grams of fructose/day…which would be like ONE apple or a 1/2 cup of berries, 1/4 a banana, etc.
Please see his article here for more info.
Let me know how you do with this important change to your diet!
Amy 🙂
