WHAT ABOUT FRUIT IN MY DIET?

My patients can be my best source for writing about relevant topics.  Today a patient who had bypass surgery about 4 years ago was in the office to discuss revisional surgery.  I always make a point to include an examination of what has been going on with someones diet over the past year as part of the solution to weight regain.

What was interesting in the conversation was that overall her diet was not bad however on looking into the diet further she was eating a lot of fruit.  Fruit in small amounts is fine but fruit has a lot of sugar.  Of course fruit has vitamins and fiber.  But you can get all the vitamins you need in your multivitamin and your fiber by eating leafy green vegetables that have no calories.

When you are trying to lose weight is important to look at all aspects of your diet to find areas where you can get the same nutritional value of a food without of all those calories.  Always be careful of eating any food in excess.  And what I say in almost every topic is it is all about total calories!
