Sorry, Stephen....
Berries are some of the lowest carb fruits (at least as far as most people think of fruits) and most of them run from 5-8 grams of carb per 1/2 cup. I don't know of any fruit that meets the specifications that you listed. The good news is that a lot of things that most people think of as vegetables are really fruits and are allowed on induction such as avocados, tomatos and cucumbers. :) On the bright side...you only have to forego fruits (other than what's on the allowed list for induction) for a few weeks before you can add them back in again after induction, even if only in small amounts. Hang in there...fruits aren't permanently off the menu! :) |
Rhubarb is the lowest you'll get. It's really low (but actually it's not a fruit it's a veggie but that's another story).
Buy it fresh and stew it with a lot of aftificial sweetener or buy dry packed cans - don't buy anything packed in syrup or juice. Serve it with cream and more sweetener. I have it very often! |
I know it's not fruit but........ I somewhere saw a recipe that peeled zuchini squash and cut into small cubes. They took that and 'stewed' for an hour or so the squash with a package of sugarfree Apple cider mix, cinnamon and water. Supposedly they said it tasted just like apples by the end of the cooking time. I personally never tried the recipe but it was at least interesting enough to come to mind now even months after reading it. I held out for the two week induction at which point I added strawberries, raspberries and blueberries back to my diet. I don't regret it nor did it stall me adding back the berries I love so much. I think it is suggested though that when you do add them back, have them with a handful of nuts or cheese. (ricotta being my first choice) 2 weeks really isn't so long. Hold in there. :)

I just read Protien Power and it has lots of Fruit in the recipes section. Even a strawberry jam!
as stated above Berries are least. You could alos eat a Half of some fruits for less than 10 Carbs!! |
