Default Fruit

Hi, Monica. Fruit is high in sugar, so low-carbers need to limit it. Having said that, small quantities of some fruits are allowed after induction. Berries, especially strawberries, have the fewest carbs: one jumbo strawberry is about 1.5 carbs.

Contrary to popular belief, large amounts of fruit aren't necessary to a healthy diet, as long as you're eating lots of veggies.

Keep us posted on your progress!
