Low carbs: The best and worst fruits

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

One of the reasons I would hesitate to try a low-carb eating plan is that fruit is sometimes banned from such diets. Frankly, fruit is not something I'm willing to give up because it's one healthy thing that I really enjoy. But if you're going low-carb, you don't necessarily have to give up fruits -- some are better than others. According to Mark's Daily Apple, here's how they stack up:
  • The best low-carb fruits include berries (all of them), cherries, apples, pears, grapefruit, peaches, apricots and figs.
  • The worst low-carb fruits are mangoes, melons, papayas and pineapples.
I would sure miss my mangoes and melons, but I think the low-carb fruits sounds pretty tasty too, don't you think?
