Top 6 Best Fruits for a Low Carb Diet

Weight Loss Managment newsSep 25, 2005

Looking for the Top 6 Best Fruits for a Low Carb Diet? What ... you can’t have any fruit on a low carb diet? If you think sticking to a low carb diet plan means shunning fruit, you’re not alone. In a survey, 30% of low carb dieters said they had reduced their fruit intake and 14% had stopped eating fruit altogether.

This means roughly 11 million Americans have dropped some essential nutrients from their diets. Let’s start by testing your knowledge of carbs by taking my Test Your Knowledge of Low Carbs Quiz and see if you can spot the common problems dieters have with low carb diets.

Eliminating fruits is a common misconception. Fruits, especially the ones below, will provide building-block nutrients in your diet while not raising your blood sugar, AND they provide an excellent source of fiber.

Which fruit packs the biggest nutrition punch? It’s the lowly Kiwi! So be sure and include 1 cup of fruit a day in your low carb diet plan.

Here’s my Top 6 Best Fruits for a Low Carb Diet and their carb count per one cup serving:

* KIWI 14gm
* AVOCADO 12gm
* PAPAYA 14gm
* CANTALOUPE 18gm
* STRAWBERRIE 11gm
* GRAPEFRUIT12gm

See? Now wasn’t that easy and tasty? It’s no problem having fruit on a low carb diet if you choose wisely.
