Low Carb Fruit Options - Best and Worst

Fruit is a naturally sweet treat. But fruit contains carbohydrates. If you are on a low carb or keto diet, too much fruit could put the brakes on fat loss. In this video, I share the carb content of different fruits and sort them for you, so you know which ones are the most low-carb friendly and which ones to avoid.

Great topic. Good info. Thanks for all you do.

[@michaelconnolly7681]

Another excellent video. I love all your videos. They are very informative coming from a voice of experience

[@viviandibrell849]

Thanks to you I have been on a keto diet for eight days and have lost 4 pounds. I find it an easy diet to stick with, and your information on your videos has been paramount to my success. I went on this diet, mainly to see if it would help my arthritis and I think the weight loss is an added bonus. Thank you! For everything you do! Your videos are so professional, and full of really great useful information

[@hmlxur54]

Thank you for the list. That is very useful. As for lemon, I often blender a whole (organic) lemon with stevia and water, so the amounts mentioned there are certainly applicable. Thank you for the video!

[@karenmacleod7044]

Thank you! Dr. Becky this was great help for me,knowing which fruit is high. I eat a lot of blackberries, I put blueberries in my smoothie's I love strawberries, and raspberries so this helps me out when I need something SWEET!!! I sometimesI have a piece of 95% CACOA choc, bar which gives me, as I say, the odd treat then I don't feel so deprived of everything. This really seems to work ok. for me. I feel it's better than going with a big munchy choc. bar. You and your husband are such a great help to me! You both always give the best information for everyone Thanks again Blessing's to you both Wishing you good health!

[@momma8954]

Great video.

[@KatTheScribe]

Thanks for the great idea for apples! I love apples, but am restricting carbs to a fairly low level at the moment.

[@shirleylewis3490]

Mandarins are my favourite fruit and I eat them daily. Was glad to see they are one of the lower carb fruits!!

[@horacewilliamsjr-Author]

Excellent information Dr. Becky. Did I miss your insights on dark cherries? I enjoy frozen ones in a smoothie or with ice and teaspoon of stevia. Fresh ones; the pit keeps you from overdoing it!😉👍

[@goodcooker4001]

Thank you for this. I am not sure why I have demonized fruits the way I have in my mind. This helped clear things up for me.

[@MataH1]

So glad to hear melon is ok!! I thought it was out and I love it so, good news!

[@lupitaolson7837]

Thank you for your professional information, plus it's free 😊.

[@CorinnaOnTheRun]

Great tip about saving your apple for several days

[@Bonbon-zl4eb]

Thanks Becky! Great information!

[@martinescincotti5385]

After a work out I usually have an apple or grapes or watermelon. I never measure anything. Since watching this video I'm convinced I should be careful with my intake because my insulin levels must be insensitive - :( weight gain for me was rapid after menopause no matter how I work out or cut back. I'm starting to learn from you and look forward to weight loss! Thanks for your advice.

[@kaseyberg4022]

Thanks for the helpful info! I just found you. Now I have to get motivated. I am addicted to sweets 😟

Thank you Dr. Becky. I have learnt so much from watching you.

This was SO helpful! I’m a plant eater mostly but want to reduce my carbs without giving up fruit entirely. Thanks!

[@jamescalifornia2964]

It can be done 👌

[@metroteacher]

I was JUST thinking about this very thing when your notification came! Thanks for this. My glucose is up (again) because of my love for carbs (bad, mostly). Now I know which fruits I can eat in a carb attack.

[@Viertelfranzose]

Would it make a difference...if i put 50 Gramm Blueberry in my Postworkout smoothie..togehter with Protein and other things...or should i eat it better withought blending. I do OMAD Diet..so i prefer a smoothie as my first....Postworkoutmeal. Thank you for this interesting Video!

[@stacyhackney6100]

Thank you.

[@lynnekayey3958]

Thank you for your videos !! Most keto advocates talk talk ..... never getting to the point Or the explanations need their own encyclopedia thank you for useful info which is concise and to the point you as well as Dr. Nick ..sometimes Dr Berg keto dieters out there use these 3 sources !! Run from others ha and Ashley Salvatore non doctor and explains as so

[@filmic1]

Thank-you Dr. Becky. I've been getting a lot of vegetables and fruit in my Vegan (Lufa) farm orders. I'm not a vegetarian. I like red meat and fish and have to watch my iron. (I cook in a cast iron skillet.) However, they've been sending me different kinds of grapefruit and have quite taken to them.

[@BillHutchensFilms]

I had a scan of your videos (which are great, and delivered in a very accessible way) to see if there were any particular considerations for vegetarians that go low carb?

[@vinnygognitti8858]

yea love ice cold watermellon in the summer time now thanks dr becky

[@roustabout4fun]

Timely as I will be going on a road trip tomorrow and hitting a fav fruit stand. Yes....portion size but on a hot day on the river...I am a magician in regards to making a watermelon disappear and so...I do not get them anymore due to the fructose and liver connection. Also..I hear often important with strawberries Organic or wash the heck out of them-Enjoyed the video-Portion size is maybe a guy thing as I smiled about how long an apple may last you. For me...I need watermelon apples. If I had to pick one....good ol Blackberries....the little wild ones are ripe Now. Fiber and nicely Organic.

[@user-du4gp6bt4r]

I was always afraid of most fruits during my last one year keto jearney which I lost 45lb. Now I got little different view on fruit due to this video and thanks for that!

[@sylviajones4907]

Congratulations on your weight-loss!

[@joannesmith6819]

Is there a carb / macro calculator app you suggest? I prefer one that I can enter grams in ... it seems more accurate, and it's easy to do. We grow berries and melons. I'm so surprised that 100g of melon is pretty comparable to berries!! I'm no stranger to low carb eating, but I never bothered to check the carbs of melons because I just assumed it was way high. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Now I'll enjoy a little more often this summer :)

[@artistjoni]

As a snack, I like to eat a few slices of an apple with a little bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top, a few walnuts, and part of a mozzarella stick. Does that sound like it sticks with the plan? Thanks! 😀 Appreciate all of your great videos! Have an awesome day! 👍

[@onlytoday2251]

Thank you....

[@karminiparsan4440]

I normally stay away from fruits high in sugar but it is mango season here in the Caribbean so I have been indulging as I adore them. The season is short so soon I will be back to eating normally😌. Thank you for this..most appreciative👍👍

[@valchris11]

When I lived in the Caribbean I ate a lot of mangoes...I gained no weight because I exercised twice a day.

[@bibiandjoshua]

I just ate 4 starch mangoes. So m back to fasting.

[@smustafa1582]

Thanks

[@Scottlp2]

I like cherries--very antiinflammatory and in berry range of carbs.

[@hannah5245]

You can soak unused cut apple in salted water in a small bowl so it reduces oxidation. Then place in fridge.

[@user-xx6hs2qv3s]

I eat a salad of three color coleslaw. Apple and walnuts with red wine vinegar dressing So good !!

[@billybrown555]

I’m curious if adding fiber supplements before or after eating fruit would be helpful?

[@harmyjim2]

I read or watched a video about green bananas having "resistant starch" versus ripe bananas having more sugars that release faster.

[@justonebethanne]

Thank you Dr Becky! I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast, with banana, spinach, fruit (berries & or apples) and flaxseed. I didn't realize bananas are so high in carb😲

[@krisztinaschneider2561]

And your smoothie gets into your bloodstream much faster to create a wonderful insulin spike. Your spinach is loaded with oxalate, and unwanted clotting factors. Fructose is only broken down by the liver and fructose is another culprit of non alcoholic fatty liver problems. And you won't lose weight, but feel hungry in an hour. Just saying. Who needs fruit anyway!? Oh 🤣 vitamin...sure. Eat a keto carnivore diet. OMAD / TMAD. No counting carbs. Highly recommend Dr Robert Cywes' channel instead of this soft spoken magician.

[@lynnsalberg5647]

I eat a serving of pruned for bone health and it is working along with Kefir and vit d Would the plums be as beneficial ?

[@Anno44]

Very interesting, as usual. I eat a whole apple, banana and a small handful of grapes on my salads EVERY day. I sometimes have cherries for dessert if I'm craving something sweet. I don't find this problematic for me. But I guess consumption is very individual. Good to know the facts. Thanks.

[@deb9806]

Me too, LOVE grapes as a pop in my mouth replacement for chips etc. Banana's I've "downsized" to a small one but I'm happy it doesn't effect me. Love melon too but it's seasonal.

[@ITILII]

All are Bad ! And the statement that strawberries are good because they are liked ? ILLOGICAL ! Something can be liked, but good and vice versa....I suggest you watch Dr. Ken Berry for a more FACTUAL and accurate video !!!

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Please help with the fructose problem 🙏

[@vivmadmaxx66]

Yes they are but I find that berries sometimes are acid as we have to import them. We have local cherries in Caribbean but those other berries have to be imported as they are not local fruits our local fruits are mango golden apples cherries melon dounce most are seasonal

[@ahheng6402]

Minimum fruits for me after I understand what is Frutose. I get my Vitamin Minerals from vegetables & add supplements. I am on OMAD & LCHF.

[@lindaswoveland8515]

I don't need to lose weight but I'm type 2 diabetic so I have to watch my carbs.

[@harryhoesch3793]

I love tart crisp under ripe fruits. Is the inverse true to higher sugar in over ripe fruit as is lower sugar (possibly higher fiber) in under ripe fruit.

[@Maggie-cm4zl]

My husband makes dry, red wine. I drink one glass per day. Is there a better time to drink during the day? On an empty stomach, 4 pm.... or later, after dinner?

[@mumbai3899]

Is coconut cream good to replace fresh cream?

[@danmar007]

I would live on fruit if I could. Keto is popular but what about the cholesterol content of all that meat? Could you make a video about acidic foods?

[@samuelgibbons1221]

New to your channel but love every bit of it . I’m type 2 diabetic but I’ve reversed it threw diet control . Low carb + Keto . The information I get from you is amazing. Ppl like you save lives much love samuel from Northern Ireland. Keep up the good info 🙏🤘💪

Thank you, Samuel! Welcome to my channel!

[@nandamorris]

I like apples but they cause me to feel bloated. I have to stick with the citrus fruits and berries. Thank you for sharing!

[@jackfanning7952]

Raw apples contain pectin which causes us to feel full, thereby suppressing our appetite. That is good.

[@riosafado]

What about sugars ? Are low carbs fruits safe to consume

[@bradfordpalmer2298]

How does the Glycemic Index Level work with the Carbohydrate List. GI accordingly shows apples and strawberries as very low whereas watermelon is very high...almsit as high as rice. Confusing.

[@colleenbaptiste98]

I love all fruits, but I mostly avoid all fruits because when I eat fruits I tend to overeat so I rarely eat fruits. I love bananas, watermelons, nangoes, tangerines, etc

[@jcszot]

I do the exact same thing with my apples! What I also do is I slice them and keep them in a Tupperware container with paper towel in between and that paper towel is soaked with lemon juice. I can have a sliced apple last for a week in my fridge with no browning at all! I have a few slices almost every day in the afternoon with a tablespoon of nut butter just to get me through till dinner. I never really eat the entire apple in one day but a few slices with a nut butter is a great snack and apples are also great for the digestion I find! This was a helpful video and I thank you because some of those summertime fruits you have to be careful. Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@evies1050]

My husband and I share an apple, cut into slices with nut butter on top. Very delicious ad satisfying.

[@lssilvano970]

Cheers for this, I have been researching "does eating peaches help you lose weight?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Giyaarter Unflappable Gratification - (just google it ) ? It is a good one off guide for learning what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.

Gonna make a berry smoothie right after this video. Also, I'm not on a diet, I just try to eat well. No junk food (or very little) and no processed sugar. Eat a lot of protein too

[@josephzimmer6776]

May want to re think having that smoothie. Blending fruit in a processor destroys all the fiber/pulp in the fruit. What you end up with is not a healthy berry smoothie BUT sugar water. Beverage will spike your blood sugar big time.

[@jeffreyphillips4182]

Blending or chewing, same results. Fiber is not destroyed in a blender. I never comment on things I don't know about unless asking a question. I see you don't have that filter...

[@hannah5245]

@@josephzimmer6776 I blend sweet fruits with some other fruits with a sour taste like green apples or lemon.

I am still eating carbs but cutting out sugar, sweets etc. I am a 5 foot 6 , 48 year old menopausal female ( started at 45) and am now about 55-56 kilos.

Dr. I take 1 medium sized banana with my coffee with stevia. Do you consider it to be high in carb?

[@moniquehorton1111]

According to this video, bananas contain approximately 22 grams of carbs. Eat 1/4 of the banana with some berries.
