And you don't get hungry after eating it ?
I haven't eaten a banana, or a pear, or a peach......pretty much almost all fruits in such a LONG TIME.

When I was younger I could eat ALL fruits, I was skinny and it wasn't until my late teens that the acne starting to become a problem, but I was still skinny, then early twenties the weight came on.

Anyway, I used to love eating banana parfaits........YUMMY.

PinaColada

fruit makes me hungry as well but smoothies fill me up lol

i also try to eat about half plate of veg with my dinner but thats only about 3 nights a week the other nights i have half plate of salad but i seem to be really bad at weekends with takeaways etc

I remember years ago when I went on vacation to Mexico they served us fried bananas with ice cream on top.
Well, stupid me goes and tries some.........and you know what happened...

Paola

Has anyone tried any exotic fruits as well ?
I see them in Whole Foods but I have never tried any of them, they just look too strange to me....plus I have no idea what their glycemic index is ?

i think someone said it earlier, but i try to 'balance' fruit with some protein and it seems to be working for me... cottage cheese, pb or a slice of cheese with my fruit seems to help.

also be careful on serving sizes... i think a half cup is a serving... for many fruits that's probably only half the piece.

i think most fruit when eaten solo will send your blood sugars soaring.

as for the exotic fruit... corner the guy/gal (or even an unsuspecting shopper standing near the fruit in question) and ask questions. once you have a name for the fruit you should be able to find its glycemic index online.

or you could stop by the customer service desk and ask a bunch of questions, or even suggest next time they are doing a "sample tasting" that they put some of the exotic fruits out?

Good idea.....
I'm just so afraid of ANY fruit at this point, so I guess exotic or not, they all have sugar and it's probably best just to stay away from fruit for now. (for me at least.)

What do you define as exotic fruit? I still eat fruit usually at breakfast or as a snack with a protein. Tend to eat a lot of apples, pears, citrus (clemintines, orange, tangerine) berries or mangos with yogurt

The exotic fruits are stuff like dragon fruit, star fruit and the rest I don't know.......they mostly just look strange to me.

I just asked because sometimes people find papaya and mangos to be on the exotic side. I'll try them sometimes I like things like Lichee, Acai (pricey), star fruit, guava. And there is this other fruit whose name I can't remember that comes in a greenish/brown pod with a fruit that is really good

As far as their glycemic index, are they on the high side ?
I'm not sure, but I notice that alot of exotic fruits aren't listed.

BrandiDaryl

Just try to IR balance it..
7 grams of protein for every 14 grams of sugar.. isnt that what the book says?
I JUST got the VitaMixer... and I'm using kale, spinach, and protein powder with my fruits...

Oh that sounds good......how much fruit do you put in your shake ?

threeblessings

I use cream cheese sometimes with my fruit. It adds a little protein. In fact a small apple with this: cream cheese softened, splenda and cinnamon. It is so good! But it may not work if you are having a hard time tolerating fruit.

Well and splenda triggers insulin to be created... even though it's fake.
Can't do it.

I'd do the apple w/cream cheese + cinnamon -- no need for the Splenda or other sweetener in my opinion -- the apple is already sweet!
