It depends what kind of plan you are following.

On a low-carb plan (many on this board follow one or another of them), you want to watch fruit intake because fruits are high in carbs - though I have not seen anyone say not to eat them at all.

Fat is not that important a consideration on low-carb plans. But if you are on a low-fat plan, of course fruit is okay.

So continue with whatever is working for you.

Good luck!

In my opinion, there's only one plan - the eating healthy plan. Humans are designed to eat fruit, especially between meals as a snack. All these low-carb freaks say fruit is bad. They're buying into a fad diet. A real diet is one you can stick with. The 2 primary reasons people are fat and unhealthy is because of an overall lack of fruits and vegetables and a lack of exercise. This is the truth! That said, I wish you all a blessed journey!

Ramsemonius, not all low-carb freaks say that fruit is bad. Actually I don't know any who say that fruit is bad. I have only heard critics of low-carb plans saying the low-carb freaks say that fruit is bad, and it only takes a tiny bit of investigation to see that it is not true.

It has been my experience based on listening to different people and learning about their experiences that there is no one healthy eating plan.

I just want to put my 2 cents in by saying that I did not put on some pounds by eating too many apples.
