When it comes to cutting carbohydrates, it\u2019s not only pastries and bread you have to think about. Carbs<\/a> are also in fruits (which explains their sweetness), so logic might suggest canceling this type of food, too \u2014 but don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many low-carb diets<\/a> recommend avoiding fruit because it tends to be higher in carbohydrates due to its natural sugar, it\u2019s not ideal for health. Fruit contains many health-promoting nutrients, and removing them from the diet completely could be detrimental,\u201d explains Trista Best, RD<\/a>, a registered dietitian at Balance One Supplements, an online vitamin and supplement shop based in Wilmington, Delaware. For example, fruits (as well as vegetables) provide heart-healthy dietary fiber<\/a>, along with vitamins and minerals that the body uses as antioxidants<\/a> to fight various chronic diseases, according to research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So you know including fruit in your diet, even a low-carb one, is beneficial. But that doesn\u2019t mean that anything goes. A standard low-carb diet involves eating 20 grams (g) to 50 g of net carbs per day, depending on your weight loss goals, according to the National Institute of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So to hit your weight loss goal, it helps to choose fruits with the lowest amount of carbs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to cutting carbohydrates, it\u2019s not only pastries and bread you have to think about.
