Helpful video. I eat blueberries regularly because of their many health benefits. Other fruits and veggies also bring health benefits, despite the natural sugars (anti-oxidants, fiber, etc.) so I try include them without going overboard on my carb counts. The occasional half banana sliced on my yogurt now feels like a decadent treat, better than a banana split! (ok not exactly, but close).
Banana ripeness also plays a role in sugar content. The greener the banana the lower the sugar content and higher the probiotic value. In general when you start to see the brown spots on a banana it has the highest sugar. In short, eat bananas but I recommend paying attention to ripeness.
I think a mistake ppl make w keto is that they over simplify and just eat meat or protein and not enough fiber. Fiber is important bc its food to ur microbes. Immunity and digestion. It's not just about losing weight but finding optimal health.
That's right! Plus you see these people on what they call a dirty keto diet and they are eating lettuce wrapped fast food burgers and cheese and unhealthy fatty meats etc. I eat lots of vegetables, some eggs, salmon, avocados, olive oil, nuts, yogurt and berries. It works for me! Losing weight like crazy but more importantly staying HEALTHY!
@@michellemoffett9458 ur diet is close to mine minus dairy and nuts. Got rid of gluten and dairy. Most ppl it's a weight loss problem so they see the pounds dropping and think they've figured it all out. Having immunity problems my whole life, not so much weight, its led me to the keto but mostly paleo lifestyle. Fiber and plants being the most important for feeding ur internal garden. And that's where u find ur optimal self....health, skin, energy, mood, clarity, etc.
@@mikemcgrath6150 So true Mike! People should not just think of it as a weight loss tool it should be for optimum health every day and eat the right foods. I eat a lot plant foods. I had to cut out the nuts though I don't digest those well and I have diverculosis and shouldn't be eating them plus they always hinder my weight loss progression. Dairy will always be in my life without dairy I think I'd go nuts lol.
@@michellemoffett9458 That’s exactly what I follow. I always include fruits and vegetables on my low carb diet. I eat the right vegetables and includes fruits in limited amounts .
The danger for me is that “moderation” leaves the door open for a slippery slope into bad habits. Sugar or any kind of sweets (i.e. fruit) are not what a lot of diabetics, obese folks and those with metabolic syndrome can handle. I was all three! Maybe when my body is back to some level of insulin sensitivity, I can handle it.
@@Marionettenightmares fat does not make you fat. Eat the meat and the fat that comes with it. The dietary guidelines are upside down. Has the Federal government ever lied to us? Just eat real food, not processed. They say buy from the perimeter of the grocery store, not all of the shelves.
Actually, I have a different thought on that. You see for me as diabetic, my sugar addiction mainly came from refined sugar sources, such as soda and junk food. Soda especially was the addiction I had to overcome. Fruit was not something I really ate at all because for me at least, it did not compare to soda, cookies, candy, etc. So now that I have got off the refined sugars and onto the natural sugar, it is a whole different feel. Yes, I enjoy fruit, but I don't feel it fuels my addiction at all to the refined sugar sources. And as far as possibly becoming addicted to fruit, I would say hat doesn't seem to be very common. It is the refined sugar that is bad.
I do eat berries and apples. Since I was diagnosed as prediabetic, I avoid bananas and pineapple, and especially the canned fruit from the grocery store. I noticed the canned fruit is usually packed in some kind of syrup.
Back in the day my carb "tolerance" was a double quarter pounder with cheese, a double gulp Pepsi, large fries, followed by THREE strawberry sundaes. My pancreas has been through hell. It's a miracle that I didn't get diabetes. I was prediabetic though so that was a big wake up call.
Holy cow, yes, you are lucky that you don't have diabetes. My husband just mowed thru an entire 12 oz package of Oreos in one day. He claims he's on a "keto diet". That discarded package of Oreos says otherwise. If he isn't already diabetic, he soon will be. He is grossly overweight and has put on so much weight over the past few years.
I gave up most fruits since starting keto 4 months ago. I only had one glass of orange juice per day with 27 grams of carbs per glass to take my supplements and I still lost weight. I think my body can tolerate some fruit but I don’t want to push it until I reach my goal weight, which is less than 10 pounds away. I’m so happy!!!! I’ve lost 32 pounds!!
I think you have the most pleasant voice of any lady i've ever listened to. Imagine Keith hasnt developed that disease common to most men that have been married for some time called selective hearing loss.
Excellent explanation. I knew fruit was a YES on a low-carb diet, but now the doctoral explanation as to why is clear, repeatable. Making me well informed and sounding oh-so well read. Thanks.
This is *SO* helpful as are all of your videos, Dr. Gilllaspy. I find that I don't miss fruit, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth to begin with. However, I seem to be doing well, consistently losing weight and feeling better than I have in years, by having tomatoes into my salad. This shift to low-carb eating has been an incredibly journey (about 4 mos., now). Unlike "diets" of the past, I'm rarely hungry (except at mealtimes), do not feel the least bit deprived and even can exercise vigorously 30min x 6d, and even when on my 5-2 intermittent fasting days. My old "carb monsters" were white-flour pasta and potatoes, none of which I seem to miss very much which is....incredibly surprising. :-) I'm 66 and feel better than I did 30 years ago.
The type of carbohydrate is important. Complex carbs are processed in a more moderate manner than simple carbs. Also, fats moderate the uptake and processing of carbs, leveling the glucose spikes that consuming carbohydrates can cause. Avocados are excellent not just because of their low carb content but also because they contain a lot of healthy fat. Also, one of the benefits of blueberries that pushes them into the "best foods" category is their high levels of anti-oxidants. You can't look at just carb and fiber ratios to judge the suitability of a food.
I’m a month in to this new IF/healthy keto thing and have done well. However, I do miss some fruit so I’ve been having a grapefruit every few days and it makes me so much happier. 🙂🙌🏻
Dr. Becky, I really like your videos and the science you teach. I don’t need to lose a lot of weight, but have a belly I would like to lose. I would consider signing up for one of your programs, but I’m vegetarian. Please consider adapting your program to vegetarian.
Exactly, I am very used to intermittent fasting, however when I cut my carbs to 1 piece of fruit a day I had excruciating ab cramps and my hair loss was more than usual in the shower. I tried it for 3 months now I am upping my carbs intake to 2 or 3 fruits a day.
My breakfast is avocado sourdough toast, and switch it up with adding blue berries or cucumber or pretty much what ever. This works for me but may not for others. Also I do not eat breakfast until an hour or more after I get up, but hey I do have my coffee neat, LOL! I am trying to lose weight but not on an actual keto diet, I like my foods. I am up early and last meal (of 2 meals no snacks) between 2 -3, and fast until next morning. OH! after my last meal I will break off a square of chocolate bar of 72% or higher, I really like that bitter sweet taste. Not hungry, cravings are gone, down 20 pounds in several months. Slow? Yes! That is how I want it, 1 -2 lbs., a week. As mentioned I am not on keto but learning things from it. I learn a lot from watching videos like this then twist it to fit what I am happy with and works for me. Thank you Dr. Gillaspy for doing these videos.
I started off eating some mango this morning. About 100g which is 13g carbs and I plan to eat under 7g for the rest of the day, so I think I’ll be good 😍
Becky, Fructose does not raise blood sugar like Glucose, but can cause fatty liver and raise the uric acid, which in turn trigger high insulin production. What you preaching here is good for healthy people, but dangerous for Type 1, Type 2 Diabetic people. Please refer to the reach of David Permultter.
When I started low carb diet fruits I wasn't able to give up. I get my carbs only from fruits and low carb greens. I only eat 2 meals a day (breakfast and lunch) and fruit snacks for later. Still loose weight but slowly if I increase the amount of fruits in my diet.
Oatmeal in the morning is too many carbs because I am hypoglycemic. I eat it later in the day as a treat. I find eggs and avocado are best for breakfast.
I lost 80 lb. When I reached 130lb started Keto maintenance and worried how to keep it...but my worry was unnecessary. I keep it easily and for a year now I only go 3lb up or down max. In 2 years I only made 2 times break from Keto and my glucose was ok during that time. Problem is that I don't like any more to be out of ketosis, I don't like sluggishness and the carbs.
I think long term low carb dieters change the appereancy and not look so good or best energy levels. I think one, after getting a better shape and weight, should experiment cycles of low carb but not entyre year
Ofcourse all food is nutrients. We're lucky to be able to have an abundance of food. Keto is Rediculous I am doing well on eating everything in moderation I do eat low carb not no carb. Keto didn't work.
Love you Dr. Becky and all that you and Dr Keith do!!!! What are your thoughts on dragonfruit? I buy the frozen variety and eat it often. Would you please consider giving your opinion on this fruit option?
on this lo carb way of eating i used to have pancakes/maple syrup 1x per week as a break from eggs. My go to breakfast has been riced cauliflower,kale ,some cheese 2 eggs. Now i guess i’m not supposed to have any flours.I cooked steel cut oats in the rice cooker along w chia and hemp seeds plus cinnamon. I put it in refrigerator and the next day it’s sliceable-like a pancake!-topped w greek yogurt and strawberries. a once a week treat. I didn’t make this this weekend as no oats allowed on 21 day challenge! currently I have chia and hemp seeds soaking in water and will try this w the yogurt and strawberries this week. hope it works! i find when I eat oat bran without the chia and hemp seeds i’m starving 2 hours later! Noom considers chia and hemp seeds to be red foods and i ignore this recommendation !
I was on the standard American diet for decades and did not eat fruit then and I don’t now. I do berries, avocados, and vegetables, but I don’t think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to high glycemic fruits like apples, bananas, or oranges. If I wanted them I might work them in but I don’t and so I don’t.
I ate 1 meal a day which was 1 Subway 12inch Sandwiches or Chicken & Veg Patato Curry + Only Fruits for 6 months and lost the most weight I ever had nearly looked anorexic. I even ate bagful of gummy sweets which are 100% sugar yet still lost weight but at the time I was in my early 20s so not sure it would work as well in my late 30s now.
It's hard now to stay away from too much fruit like strawberries and raspberries and peaches and all the other summer fruits! Darn! Is cantaloupe better?
I have zero carbohydrate tolerance 😂 I was storing fat at two pieces of sourdough bread a day, and the occasional rice in the weekend. So i cut down carbs even more alongside sugar, and it did wonders for me. Lost a bunch of weight and I'm feeling a lot better. I might start eating a bit more carbs in the next few months, but I'm never going back to consuming sugar. That stuff's poison.
I enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal. As a result I’ve had some success in losing some stubborn fat (hopefully vat) and that is a big win for me. I’m wondering what you know about advanced glycation end products and how trying to reduce those compounds intersects with a low carb or keto diet?
I thought that insulin was responsible for fat storage and if one was insulin sensitive it meant that ones insulin would convert the sugar to fat more readily. Please clarify.
Insulin sensitivity means the body is efficient at using glucose for energy. Insulin stimulates muscle, fat, and liver cells to absorb glucose. The more resistant the cells are to insulin (insulin resistant) the more glucose you are going to have floating around your system that needs to be dealt with in some other way usually by storing it as fat. If the cells do not remove glucose from the blood, the body will store it in the tissues as fat.
For those of us without a scale to measure grams and go by cups this chart is not very helpful. I used an online converter but 3.5 grams is 0.01 cups or .07 teaspoons? That would be only one or two small blueberries. Who only eats that small amount? I would appreciate cup, 1/2 cup, etc. used.
Food scale. Even with blueberries some are big, some are tiny. What might fit in a volume measurement will be crazy different. If you want to track, you’ll need to weigh. At least in the beginning while learning to eyeball.
Avocado is very filling due to its high-fat content, and a fair amount of calories as well. I like it sliced with salt or in salads. I need a new body. Some things Never change!!!
All these nutrition tips are helpful... but the fact is exercise is 3x more effective. A study done showed that there was a 3x (300%) greater chance of death for a person on the bottom 25% of people than the top 25% who exercise regularly - REGARDLESS - of their diet or personal habits including smoking. If you did smoke there was a 40% greater chance of death than if you didn't... if you had a heart condition you had a 30% greater chance of death in any given year... But exercising was by far the greatest contributor to longevity of life. So yes okay whether you eat this type of sugar of not, or whether you use olive oil or not... all contributes to a healthier life but the two most important factors have nothing to do with what you eat... genetics (your inherited specs) and regular exercise.
I regularly eat raspberries, blueberries and bananas with my breakfast - winter its porridge and summer its weetabix, now I might have to reconsider the amount of bananas I eat?
Noticed that apple is at the top-half of the list in terms of net carb... however, others suggest to choose apple for being "low glycemic".. my question is how should we see low carb fruits relative to glycemic index?
Fruit makes me ravenous within hours. Not for me until goal minus 10 pounds because I need to IF and OMAD if possible, and I don't need to make my burden needlessly harder. My lifetime of garbage = non alchoholic fatty liver so I'm still remaking my body in a ketonic manner for longevity purposes. As always N = 1/ GLTA
Can you make a video for people who have played around too much eating low carb and lost some weight but started going back and forth and regained. Now its really hard to find a balance. I'm actually having a hard time losing weight altogether now.
I did Keto for two weeks recently, after eating crap food for years and being pre diabetic 2 years ago..I felt pretty good ..no cravings for sugar, felt full a lot, lost weight, but then when I ate a handful of blue berries , a few hours later I completely 'crashed', the next day the same happened after eating coconut ice cream and yoghurt which has some sugar added. I crashed like my blood sugar had risen then plummeted too far down the other side. It was like my body was having this massive over - reax to sugar that it has not had b4 ...I got scared and upped my carbs again. It was like my body had BECOME MORE insulin resistant than it was b4 ...can I carry on Keto and eat really really low sugar/carbs including NO fruit Is that even sustainable ? ..I do not want to have this reax every time I eat some carbs, even if it is a very small amt of fruit . I upped my carbs again but noticed within two days my inflammation issue was up again.
Surely the sugars and fibres are separated in the mouth, as saliva digests the starch? So how can fibre slow the absorption process down. Or am I missing something?
I've been on Keto since February, and i made a decision early on that I'd just go cold turkey on fruit (amongst all the other things). After the initial problems, its actually really quite easy. Now I've lost the weight I wanted to, I kinda go in and out, but i certainly dont eat multiple pieces a day!
Always the videos and info talks about losing weight, but what about with the ones who alrwady feel good and just want to keep a healthy lifestile for keeping the actual weight? I do not want to lose weight, I would like a healthy diet to keep my weight, that I got eating low carb and doing excercise. Thanks!!
Thank you so much, I am very grateful for the list... have downloaded it. That said. I'm still confused re: Net/total carbs. I am trying to keep at 30 gr total carbs. So, avocado is 12+gr total carb. per 100 gr serving. That's a lot. Am I safe to calculate it as a net carb, as per your chart, and keep to my 30gr total daily carb limit? I mean 12 gr for ½ an avocado just isn't reasonable for me at this point. Thank you.
Her so called "step down method" is a recipe for failure you have to go cold turkey for at least a week otherwise you will suffer through six to eight weeks of your body trying to adjust if you just get it over with in one week then you're not hungry then you just start slowly adding in carbs and I mean really slowly my car tolerance is 25G. Spread out through the day if I need anything more than that my blood sugar is starts to rise I go from being 5.5 to 15.
hello!! I tried intermittent fasting but, it causes my blood pressure level to drop does that mean intermittent fasting isn’t for me? please reply. thank you very much
What if you don't want to lose weight? It is my blood sugar levels I need to control. It was 356. AC1 was 12.The Dr ordered a cetone in urine test, it came back negative. This confuses me, aren't cetones supposed to appear with low or no carb diets? Btwy I managed to get blood sugars down to 90-100, with a low carb diet and the meds dr ordered.
I just love the information that I am learning. Can you do a smoothie with and avocado base? Like avocado and blueberries. Also what about spices like cinnamon? Thanks for answering my questions if not the doctor maybe someone else who might.

I put it in refrigerator and the next day it’s sliceable-like a pancake!-topped w greek yogurt and strawberries. a once a week treat. I didn’t make this this weekend as no oats allowed on 21 day challenge! currently I have chia and hemp seeds soaking in water and will try this w the yogurt and strawberries this week. hope it works! i find when I eat oat bran without the chia and hemp seeds i’m starving 2 hours later! Noom considers chia and hemp seeds to be red foods and i ignore this recommendation !
I was on the standard American diet for decades and did not eat fruit then and I don’t now. I do berries, avocados, and vegetables, but I don’t think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to high glycemic fruits like apples, bananas, or oranges. If I wanted them I might work them in but I don’t and so I don’t.
In one period 8 months I was eating only fruits and I lost 20kg
I think fruits are not bad.
Can I eat fruits with nuts or eggs to make them slower????
I ate 1 meal a day which was 1 Subway 12inch Sandwiches or Chicken & Veg Patato Curry + Only Fruits for 6 months and lost the most weight I ever had nearly looked anorexic. I even ate bagful of gummy sweets which are 100% sugar yet still lost weight but at the time I was in my early 20s so not sure it would work as well in my late 30s now.
It's hard now to stay away from too much fruit like strawberries and raspberries and peaches and all the other summer fruits! Darn! Is cantaloupe better?
So happy that cantaloupe made her list. I love a piece with my dinner.
Great video Doctor thank you
I have zero carbohydrate tolerance 😂 I was storing fat at two pieces of sourdough bread a day, and the occasional rice in the weekend. So i cut down carbs even more alongside sugar, and it did wonders for me. Lost a bunch of weight and I'm feeling a lot better. I might start eating a bit more carbs in the next few months, but I'm never going back to consuming sugar. That stuff's poison.
I enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal. As a result I’ve had some success in losing some stubborn fat (hopefully vat) and that is a big win for me.
I’m wondering what you know about advanced glycation end products and how trying to reduce those compounds intersects with a low carb or keto diet?
Does the freedom weight loss program include recipes for everything listed in the meal plans?
Thanks Becky ❤
I thought that insulin was responsible for fat storage and if one was insulin sensitive it meant that ones insulin would convert the sugar to fat more readily. Please clarify.
Insulin sensitivity means the body is efficient at using glucose for energy. Insulin stimulates muscle, fat, and liver cells to absorb glucose. The more resistant the cells are to insulin (insulin resistant) the more glucose you are going to have floating around your system that needs to be dealt with in some other way usually by storing it as fat. If the cells do not remove glucose from the blood, the body will store it in the tissues as fat.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Amazing information
For those of us without a scale to measure grams and go by cups this chart is not very helpful. I used an online converter but 3.5 grams is 0.01 cups or .07 teaspoons? That would be only one or two small blueberries. Who only eats that small amount? I would appreciate cup, 1/2 cup, etc. used.
Food scale. Even with blueberries some are big, some are tiny. What might fit in a volume measurement will be crazy different.
If you want to track, you’ll need to weigh. At least in the beginning while learning to eyeball.
what about papaya? is quite abundant here we breakfast it with strawberries....is it recommendable....? thanks
Avocado is very filling due to its high-fat content, and a fair amount of calories as well. I like it sliced with salt or in salads. I need a new body. Some things Never change!!!
Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and apples.
Great video!
Dr Becky rocks and cute!
Yes. Fruit is fine. The ridiculousness of the question.
All these nutrition tips are helpful... but the fact is exercise is 3x more effective. A study done showed that there was a 3x (300%) greater chance of death for a person on the bottom 25% of people than the top 25% who exercise regularly - REGARDLESS - of their diet or personal habits including smoking. If you did smoke there was a 40% greater chance of death than if you didn't... if you had a heart condition you had a 30% greater chance of death in any given year... But exercising was by far the greatest contributor to longevity of life. So yes okay whether you eat this type of sugar of not, or whether you use olive oil or not... all contributes to a healthier life but the two most important factors have nothing to do with what you eat... genetics (your inherited specs) and regular exercise.
I regularly eat raspberries, blueberries and bananas with my breakfast - winter its porridge and summer its weetabix, now I might have to reconsider the amount of bananas I eat?
I saw another video that said that apples were good for blood sugar maybe there is something else at play?
Noticed that apple is at the top-half of the list in terms of net carb... however, others suggest to choose apple for being "low glycemic".. my question is how should we see low carb fruits relative to glycemic index?
Thank you!!
Fruit makes me ravenous within hours. Not for me until goal minus 10 pounds because I need to IF and OMAD if possible, and I don't need to make my burden needlessly harder. My lifetime of garbage = non alchoholic fatty liver so I'm still remaking my body in a ketonic manner for longevity purposes. As always N = 1/ GLTA
I gave a thumbs up
Hi, do you sell a liver supplement with artichokes, dandelion, milk thistle etc. If yes I would like details.
Thank you so much Becky ciao ciao
Can you make a video for people who have played around too much eating low carb and lost some weight but started going back and forth and regained. Now its really hard to find a balance. I'm actually having a hard time losing weight altogether now.
Study motivation and discipline? Multiple sources
So, if I count calories on low carb diet and have a significant deficiency, but eat too much fruits I won't lose weight?
Good day the experts say. That we can eat. Ray bread but my sugar is still spiking
Is that correct
Thanks
Dr Becky please how many carbs in a passion fruit 💖
I'm actually underweight so a few carbs extra won't be too bad😊
I don't know what carbohydrate tolerance is.
I don't know if you can eat fruit on a low carb diet.
I did Keto for two weeks recently, after eating crap food for years and being pre diabetic 2 years ago..I felt pretty good ..no cravings for sugar, felt full a lot, lost weight, but then when I ate a handful of blue berries , a few hours later I completely 'crashed', the next day the same happened after eating coconut ice cream and yoghurt which has some sugar added. I crashed like my blood sugar had risen then plummeted too far down the other side. It was like my body was having this massive over - reax to sugar that it has not had b4 ...I got scared and upped my carbs again. It was like my body had BECOME MORE insulin resistant than it was b4 ...can I carry on Keto and eat really really low sugar/carbs including NO fruit Is that even sustainable ? ..I do not want to have this reax every time I eat some carbs, even if it is a very small amt of fruit . I upped my carbs again but noticed within two days my inflammation issue was up again.
Surely the sugars and fibres are separated in the mouth, as saliva digests the starch? So how can fibre slow the absorption process down. Or am I missing something?
Could you use fruit sugar to make baking ( treat)
More slowly absorbed?
In general I know it is pricier.
It's sad that the sweetest things in life are not good for us :(
I've been on Keto since February, and i made a decision early on that I'd just go cold turkey on fruit (amongst all the other things). After the initial problems, its actually really quite easy. Now I've lost the weight I wanted to, I kinda go in and out, but i certainly dont eat multiple pieces a day!

Always the videos and info talks about losing weight, but what about with the ones who alrwady feel good and just want to keep a healthy lifestile for keeping the actual weight? I do not want to lose weight, I would like a healthy diet to keep my weight, that I got eating low carb and doing excercise.
Thanks!!
I have had colon cancer and can’t eat nuts. However, almond butter isn’t an issue. ?
Thank you so much, I am very grateful for the list... have downloaded it. That said. I'm still confused re: Net/total carbs. I am trying to keep at 30 gr total carbs. So, avocado is 12+gr total carb. per 100 gr serving. That's a lot. Am I safe to calculate it as a net carb, as per your chart, and keep to my 30gr total daily carb limit? I mean 12 gr for ½ an avocado just isn't reasonable for me at this point.
Thank you.
Her so called "step down method" is a recipe for failure you have to go cold turkey for at least a week otherwise you will suffer through six to eight weeks of your body trying to adjust if you just get it over with in one week then you're not hungry then you just start slowly adding in carbs and I mean really slowly my car tolerance is 25G. Spread out through the day if I need anything more than that my blood sugar is starts to rise I go from being 5.5 to 15.
No apples, oranges, blueberries on your list….?
Apple pie ok?
lololololol
hello!!
I tried intermittent fasting
but, it causes my blood pressure level to drop
does that mean intermittent fasting isn’t for me? please reply. thank you very much
What if you don't want to lose weight? It is my blood sugar levels I need to control. It was 356. AC1 was 12.The Dr ordered a cetone in urine test, it came back negative. This confuses me, aren't cetones supposed to appear with low or no carb diets?
Btwy I managed to get blood sugars down to 90-100, with a low carb diet and the meds dr ordered.
Recommending against fruit is ridiculous
I just love the information that I am learning. Can you do a smoothie with and avocado base? Like avocado and blueberries. Also what about spices like cinnamon? Thanks for answering my questions if not the doctor maybe someone else who might.
