This is Part 1of 3
Why Not Fruits?
As of July 2009
-50 lbs since I've been on eating Low Carb with very little exercise.

This is about MY Life and MY experience

I talk about my own personal experience with fruits, please do not call ETF(ethical treatment of fruits) I am just telling you about how I am doing living without most fruits that are high in sugars and the roller coaster ride it caused me.

This is my time to share with you my experiences being on the low carb lifestyle and how I feel.

I take this time to talk about my new discoveries and how fruits and my body and why my weight loss has been successful. It didn't happen over night, after many attempts, I finally found what works for me.

Hi, Bonnie. It's been a year and a half since this vid, and you're still battling the bulge. You've done a lot of studying on low-carb diets. But have you read from the other side?

I'm a pro-carb eater, and here's my comments:

The orange juice every morning isn't very good. Juice is refined from the fiber.

You said "I ate stuff that said low-fat on the package" - The problem is "packaged". Processed, refined, cooked, altered food is where the problem lies - absorbs to fast

@Gary1111001 You are a middle age male,(make a video explaining your TOTAL health benefits, more men, might get on board with your lifestyle. I appreciate your concerns- My blood sugar is normal, my cholesterol is normal, my mental state is not depressed, I'm 52- Only since I gained weight with menopause and Ebrel injections,I limit carb intake,sugar(s) is out of my life- I eat foods that don't impact my blood sugar.

Watch my video on coconut oil-the wonder oil-I have giveaways this summer :)

50 lbs? that's awesome. i may not comment on all your videos but i really dig on your enthusiasm. keep doing what works bonnie. have a good week. hope to see more of your vids.

[Bonnie90505]

Thank you, there is no need to comment, it just the knowing that you follow my journey, as I do yours, and I know we both have that enthusiasm to continue on , its hard and it's worth it, because we are taking control of our life and no matter what, we have support and motivation...thank you so much, take care :)

Grains were healthier when you were a child. They sure aren't anymore. They are to full of man made crap that our bodies can't digest, of course you know all that by now.

I eat fruit, lots of it, to much sometimes, I don't lose when I do but I don't gain either. It is other crap that puts it on me, like M&M's, peanuts and dried fruit.

You are a great inspiration. I love your videos.

I want to eliminate more fruit. Down to two a day would be great for me.

You made me want to try it.

Thanks Margie

I have a ways to go, so I am in need of doing everything I can to drop the weight, but still not suffer...LOL

I think once I get into the maintenance phase, I will have learned so much more about my body..I am a M&M gal too...so many...temptations everywhere...

@msixpackabs People don't understand that there are sugars and some carbs in carrots, onions, tomatoes etc. By eating plenty of raw veggies and fruit based on energy output you can have more energy and strength than the carb eater. It is far easier to maintain blood sugar when you don't have over-abundance of it like complex carb eaters. I have lost about 6 lbs. of water weight in 4 days after starting Paleo again with understanding of how it works this time. People need to understand first.

[Gary1111001]

pt 2.....

Fruits can be unhealthy IF you're also eating a lot of fat (the 2 get in each others way)

So a high carb diet can be healthy, and weight often normalizes. And I think it's easier to stick to.

Books about this way of eating are: "Fit for Live" and "The 80/10/10 diet".

@msixpackabs Excuse the extremely late reply, but I don't want anyone to think this is correct.

To say that potatoes have no nutrients is not only wrong, it's misleading. If you're looking to lose weight, no you won't get there by eating potatoes. That doesn't make them unhealthy. Potatoes are full of fiber and vitamins and essential minerals.

[msixpackabs]

Short example:

Nov 22nd

Breakfast: 100 ml of sour cream (needed some fats to boost my energy level)

Lunch: 750ml of fat free yogurt (yogurt is carbs filed) + 500g of fat free cheese (carbs again...but less than in yogurt). Why this choice???? Because of the proteins i need to maintain the muscular mass i gained and both of these foods are rich in proteins...& carbs unfortunately (this is the reason they have to be fat free...not to mix carbs with fats)

Tonight: A salad + water tuna

end of day

[msixpackabs]

I am a NO TO FRUITS but yes to the veggies (except for carrots).

POTATOES are the worst food. They were actually feeding the pigs with them.

Potatoes are nothing but CARBS..no nutrients no nothing. The french fries are a mixture of CARBS & FATS....LETHAL CHOICE! As you already know i am doing the dissociated life style....try to avoid as much as possible MIXING FATS & CARBS.

No to french potatoes, no to sugar in coffee (yes...coffee contains fats), no salads with mayonnaise....

[msixpackabs]

The smash potatoes....my drama.

OMG...Bonnie....I rather let you discover the week points of your diet...because there are some.

But 97% of what you said is true and I guess we both know that i am in title to "say things" now.

I am sorry for the fruits concept dying...but that's it.

Fruits are not part of my life...for more than 6 months.

I would relate your "cravings" after having fruits to the acid they contain and which affect the stomach.
