can i eat fruit on keto is it safe to do a juice fast isn't fruit healthy for years i was forcing
myself to eat fruits and vegetables especially fruits never like fruits on the standard american
diet because i thought that was the best way to manage my weight i have since learned that i was
so misled and in this video i'm going to tell you what you actually should do to help yourself
to manage your weight hello wellness warriors welcome to Mind Blowing Health and Wellness with

when i was trying to solve my hip issue what i learned about fruit from dr fung completely
changed my mindset about what is healthy and what's not healthy when it comes to food
sugar like table sugar is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose as opposed
to starches which are mostly chains of glucose and it's this fructose which is particularly
problematic for weight gain it's in the way that the fructose is metabolized it goes straight to
the liver and often becomes converted into fat which can lead to a lot of insulin resistance
which leads to high insulin levels fruit is very controversial because it is a natural food however
some fruits have a lot of fructose and chemically there's no difference between the fructose that
is contained in fruit and the fructose that you would get in high fructose corn syrup
the other thing to keep in mind is that many of the fruits that we eat today are different than
the fruits that we ate 30 40 years ago they're much sweeter that's why it's not so hard to get
people to eat fruit these days because it really is nature's candy so if you are gonna take fruit
while it's not the worst thing you can take it can be one of the factors that's impeding your weight
loss fruit has been pushed as a healthy food my entire life presented as if it was a great
source of antioxidants vitamins minerals even fiber something that i absolutely needed to eat
and i actually felt guilty about not eating fruit and i even felt guilty about not buying fruit
from my home for my daughter to eat because i just didn't like it and it never occurred
to me at the store to pick it up and then when i would buy it for her i'd force myself to eat it
all of this guilt and forced eating of fruit until i learned about this deception
just to give you a little bit history before my daughter was born i was always thin however
i had a bit of a tummy and you know i'm a normal person i was a bit self-conscious about that
and the part that drove me nuts is i could never understand why did i have a bit of a tummy
and of course i knew alcohol could create that story but i wasn't a drinker
so where was this stomach coming from i'm not going to blame fruit for the protrading stomach
only because i know for a fact that i probably wasn't eating enough fruit so i wasn't eating it
daily regularly like a lot of my friends were but i'll tell you that i had a lot of friends
who had also the protruding stomach i had a lot of people that i knew that you know same same issue
so after learning about fruit and what fructose does in the body so the danger that fructose
poses i today understand that part of my issue some part of my protrading tummy issue was that
fructose in the high fructose corn syrup of the sodas that i used to love to drink was causing
some of that problem which all comes back to fruit by the way just pointing that out right
so well fruits and vegetables because fructose is made from corn but my bigger point for everyone to
think about is that we give fruit this free pass as if it's this healthy safe thing for us to have
even though it's causing issues that we don't know is there i do believe that most of us are
aware that table sugar is not healthy and that's 50 fructose 50 glucose what we don't
pay attention to is the fact that most fruit comes in that 50 50 fructose
and if not 50 like 48 45 so in actuality we tell people to stay away from table sugar we
tell people to stay away from high fructose corn syrup but then we encourage people to eat fruit
let's pay attention to the fact that one medium apple is about 25 grams of carb
one medium banana is about 35. if i go for a cup of mango it's about
30 grams of carb and if i eat one little kiwi that's about 2 inches in size it's 8 gram of carb
now half of all of that is fructose as we learned in that video from dr fung
my whole body is using the glucose only my liver is trying to manage this fructose
that i'm eating every single day several times a day if i'm following the food guides
so that big lie that we were told that says well because there's no caloric load from fructose we
can eat as much of it as we want and i mean there are so many people who did all these diet programs
that said yeah fruits freebie fruit is unlimited fruit is whatever you want vegetables are freebie
they're unlimited however however much you want is great all the while you're eating fruit
you're eating high carb vegetables and your body is taking the fructose and turning it into fat
because that's all it can actually do with it that is leading to all of us having metabolic
issues all of us i wasn't aware that my fat tummy wasn't my biggest problem and i wasn't aware of
that because i was blaming my biggest problem on sports the joint issues that i was having in my
knees and my elbows and my back and my neck and my everything that i was blaming on the
falls that i'd had and the all the snowboarding and all the pushing of my body that i was doing
actually was being caused by excessive amounts of carbohydrate in my diet actually is being caused
by high fructose corn syrup in my drinks and in my foods because i was at that time eating
junk food as well fructose isn't healthy our liver has that beautiful job of cleaning up the
toxins that we ingest and it will do it whether we want it to do it or not because it's his job
which means that if i eat a lot of carbohydrate which my body sees as toxic because if it doesn't
get cleaned up by my liver it actually kills me so that's a toxin and if i allow myself to eat large
amounts of carbohydrates first of all but if i allow myself to eat large amounts of fructose
second of all the toxic levels that i'm putting in my body will have an impact and yes that
chubby tummy that i had that i didn't like was my liver struggling my liver becoming fatty liver
my liver moving me towards diabetes it had already produced inflammation and
maybe heart disease being created again what else was problematic that was happening in my body that
i was not aware about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a disease that we all should understand
and the symptoms of it we should all be looking for and the easiest symptom to see is that chubby
tummy that's coming in front of you and the harder that it gets the more you need to be worried
it's a serious condition that does lead to metabolic issues and those metabolic issues
ultimately result in diabetes pcos heart issues cognitive issues like
dementia etc this is a very serious situation fruit is not an innocent harmless food to eat and
worse it's definitely unhealthy wellness warriors i'm asking you for a favor like this video
