Fruits that don't have Fructose?

[junk]

Mr.X preaches against the use of Fructose as it's about 4 times more likely to be stored as fat. I thought about including some blueberries in my protein pancake but fructose turns me off because I certainly do not think fat accumulation is worth it.

Are there any fruits with more glucose and less fructose?

well i was on atkins for along while
and alternate between atkins and ckd presently depending on whether i am actively losing (ckd) or stalled on a plateau (atkins)

dr atkins believed the consumption of certain fruits to be more beneficial for the body than the fructose content

he believed berries esp blueberries to be so high in antioxidants and selenium that it way outweighed the fructose
selenium by the way he also believed aided in weightloss

fruit that are allowed on the atkins are apples, pears, berries, cherries, peaches and plums
some that i include are starfruit, kiwis, and grapefruit
he believed the fiber in these fruits delayed the absorbtion on the fructose thusly allowing for a lesser insulin spike

but remember just because they are allowed does not suggest to go gungho

a serving is like 13 medium strawberries or a half cup of blueberries or 1/2 apple
and he suggested no more than 3 times a week for the first two or three weeks of introducing them into your diet

in the words of a best bro, bfa "everything in moderation"

mr. x's comments are well founded
peeps like thinks quick and easy so they juice
and juice contains nutrients and fructose but no fiber to slow down the uptake
if you are in ketosis the worse thing to do is spike your insulin
which promotes fat storage

by the way all fruit contain fructose just depends on how much

try it for a few weeks if you see negative results delete them
or save for carb up days
every body is different

Nope..........fruit has "fruit sugar" or fructose.........it's from fruit.

If your liver glycogen is totally full, then you may store it as fat, but a little won't hurt you. Depends on your diet..........I know you can't be dieting because even protein pancakes have carbs in them, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I like obiwan's post

some fruits have benefits that outweigh the cons of fructose

Berries are lower in carbs and are great sources of Anti Os!

Thanks SC. BTW: My protein pancakes contain almost ZERO carbs. They are made from protein powder + egg whites + splenda (and sometimes some PB on top) NO Carbs.

I'll try adding some berries though, thanks!

blueberries have fiber - keep em they're good!

and fuck the fructose = fat shit.......too much protein gets stored as fat though some process or another. everyone just relax

Sounds like a nice change!

fruits are not evil !

fiber, vitamins, phytonutrients, ....
and a bit of fructose (but almost nothing compared to the carbs content of snacks)

usually the more colorful they are, the healthier (ie berries)

Hey SC,
there isn't much of a recipe here:
1)I just take one scoop of Ultimate Nutrition Banana Whey protein
(23g protein, 2g carbs), instead of water I 'pour' 3 egg whites to the shaker + some cinnamon and 1 splenda.

2) Seperately I use a hand blender to create 'Whipped Cream' like
from just 1-2 egg whites (takes 2min).

3) I 'fold' the protein egg shake to the whipped cream made
from the egg white.

4) Up to the pan with some cooking spar.

5) Tastes so good and doesn't contain anything but whey, egg whites and splenda.

6) You may serve with some PB on top and some nonfat,nosugar
diet icecream and put some splenda on top.

Turns amazingly tasty.
