Can we eat fruit on a low carb or Keto diet?

   If you ask me, keto is not for most people. It is just really difficult to follow and you feel exhausted. But the *Agoge diet* on the other hand feels great, and it works too.

   Thanks Doc, For me it’s been a journey about correcting fatty liver, fixing insulin resistance, and loosing weight… which has pretty much meant I need to follow a relatively strict keto plan. Over the past five months I have dropped in and out of ketosis often; sometimes not knowing why. Well, I did know.. to many carbs. Yeah I like fruits.. in Thailand we have a plethora of tasty treats. So recently I challenged myself to track my macros better and see what I was actually eating. Found an app called "cronometer" and have been using it for a two weeks now, faithfully.

   WOW.. surprised to find out how many carbs I eat that are not expected. And fruits was one of the items that really pushed the limits… I love eating rambutan, lychie, papaya, mangostino, mango and the list goes on. And I was always putting over a cup of mixed berries in my kefir smoothy. Now that the app is tracking and helping me see what I am eating macro wise it is. time to reduce the fruits for sure. Still want to keep my leafy greens, and veggies.. but even red onions and beets push my limits when all added up.

   Anyways, I suggest those entering a ketogenic way of life do some research. Find an applications that can help you track macros…at least until you get a pattern of eating in place.

   Cheers from Thailand, the Land of Smiles… and new found health. (I hope)

   Dr. Scher, do you have a list of food to eat? Where do I find that?
   What do you eat in a day? Would love a guide line. Thank you!

   If you want to lose fat, I suggest trying the Agoge diet. I lost lots of fat and felt great all the way.

   Thanks for sharing this. The artificial sweeteners I’ve tried so far give me horrible stomach cramps. So I tried a 1/2 a serving of a fruit in an entire Keto recipe that was meant to have 4-5 servings. I crunched the numbers and the carbs/sugars made sense. Was the "dessert" really sweet; no, but it was tasty and no stomach cramps!

   Ok doctor. Maybe you can help me. I did a low carb diet for 2,5 years (ca 5 years ago) and felt great initially. But then a lot of health problems emerged. I got cramps, very bad mood, severe heart arrythmia and finally a stroke. My cardiologist told me to stop low carb and switch to a Mediterranean diet with lots of plants and little animal products. So since 3 years I am doing the opposite of low carb and have solved all my health problems. What is your view on this? Thank you for your response.

   Very insightful…The way you explained makes sense! I believe if someone is doing keto to reverse certain health problems, it is a must to stick to it for atleast 4 weeks before trying to add anything to the diet

   beware when your doctor calls you a client instead of a patient

    I have about 15 lbs to cut and I’ll be at low pct of body fat, but I don’t worry about carbs or fruit. If I burn more calories than I consume, then I’ll drop the pounds. Fruits are too healthy to limit or skip. If my system doesn’t crash after eating some fruit, then I’m not concerned about eating it.

    By far the best diet is the *Agoge diet* because it works great and is easy to follow. Keto is simply risky and hard to follow.

    No, it has to do with electrolytes, which is problematic in a low carb, high fat diet. Eat half a grapefruit a day, it goes a long way in this regard, a very long way.

    The *Agoge diet* is a much better option than the keto diet. It’s well structured, diverse and peronalized. Keto is just unhealthy and very difficult to follow.

    It was my understanding that the problem with fruit also had to do with the main sugar being fructose which is metabolized differently, almost like alcohol without the buzz. Dr. Robert Lustig and Dr. Gary Fettke both have YouTube videos explaining this and discuss the significant health problems fructose can cause.

    I am not a quitter but I couldn’t go through with the keto diet because it made me feel awful. Then I tried the Agoge diet and I lost so much fat, and most importantly no more cellulite.
