Fruit and alcohol are my 2 biggest weight loss hates, because your body makes twice as much alpha glycerol phosphate when you eat fruit and alcohol, so it can store twice as much fat, compared to when you eat other carbohydrates. But for patients who absolutely, positively cannot follow a low carb diet because of sweet and starch cravings – my Meat, Fruit & Veg Diet can be life changing. For the first time, many carb addicts are able to follow a low carb diet, eat up to 2 pounds of fruit once a day, and lose weight. Eating a couple pounds of fruit isn’t terrific for weight loss, but eating fruit is better than eating flour products, grains products or dairy products if you want to lose weight – because fruit is less likely to send you into feeding frenzy.
