Fat Burning Questions - Simple Sugars In Fruit & Weight Loss

fitness-advice Question:
I know fruit has natural sugar in it. Is this bad for you in large amounts or can I eat as much fruit as I want and at anytime of the day?

fitness-advice Answer:
Yes, fruit does contain a natural source of sugar called fructose which will need to be monitored especially if you tend to easily gain body fat from too many carbs. If your main goal is to lose large amounts of body fat, you definitely don't want to eat an unlimited amount of fruit. Although fructose is rather low on the glycemic index, I recommend not eating it after 6pm and limit it to a few portions throughout the day. The best thing to do is monitor your body fat levels and use the mirror along with weekly photos of yourself to really see how your body is changing. If you see that your adding too much body fat, then cut back on the fruit and focus more on vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, squash, zucchini and green peppers. These fibrous carbs contain very low amounts of calories and carbs which are the key to losing body fat.
