3. Fruits
This can be very confusing for a lot of people. This is because it has always been taught that fruits are good for maintaining a healthy body. A reasonable intake of fruits and vegetables lowers the risk of cancer, heart diseases and improves digestion. To a larger extent this is very true but it is also true that they contain significant amounts of carbs. This totally disqualifies them from the low-carb diet list.
Fruits have high sugar content, which is not suitable for a low-carb diet. Dried fruits are a complete ‘do not eat’ on this type of diet, especially, raisins, apricots, dates, and peaches. These have approximately 20 – 33g carbs, a very high count for fruits.
However, fresh fruits have a lower count than the dried ones. If you want to incorporate any fruit into your diet, don’t take pulpy juice; go for fresh fruits and in smaller servings.
