Say No to Fruit

I see from those of you that post e consuming a few servings of fruit a day. This is a big no no if weight loss is your main goal.

Humans do not need fruit six days a week, and they certainly don't need it year round.

If your ancestors were from europe, for example, how much fruit did they eat in the winter 500 years ago? Think they had florida oranges in december? NOt a chance. But you're still here, so the lineage has survived.

The only exceptions to the no fruit rule are tomatoes and avocadoes, and the latter should be eaten in moderation. Otherwise just say no to fruit and its principle sugar, fructose, which is converted to glycerol phosphate more efficiently than almost all other carbohydrates. glycerol Phosphate > triglycerides (via the liver) > fat storage. Avoid fruit at all costs unless it is right after a tough workout or on a cheat day.
