FRUIT DEMON HUNTER

Let’s talk about fruit, shall we?

I’ve been having a bit of trouble dropping weight recently. I did everything “right”: stuck to my cal def, stayed consistent, but still hit a plateau and wasn’t seeing much movement. Readjusting to UK food after being away for three and a half months probably played a part, but what really made me think was some blood work I had done. Turns out I have pretty significant insulin resistance. Not exactly a shock, I’ve suspected it for years, but doctors in this country are…a whole other conversation for another day, lol.

I was actually quite chill about the results, but I wanted a proper medical opinion, so I booked a consultation with a nutritionist. And I can’t lie, that conversation left me a bit perplexed.

He went on a whole spiel about fruit and was extremely adamant that I shouldn’t eat fruit during the day, almost at all. And if I really wanted to, I had to limit myself to a maximum of 200g of a single type of fruit. Now, I completely respect medical advice, and I’m not trying to be contrarian for the sake of it, but this genuinely confused me. I’ve always understood fruit to be a valuable source of fibre, vitamins, and nutrients, and something that can actually help manage blood sugar levels, especially compared to straight-up sugary foods.

So… am I tripping?

@Darren Liu

do you have any input on this, or is this obvious to everybody, and I am just being a dummy?
