I've got a real problem here!
I gotta say that I feel a lot of the Health and Wellness industry are truly hurting people by talking about how bad fruit is for you.
ARE YOU SERIOUS???
STOP WITH ALL THE BLANKET STATEMENTS!
So as you can see, I love fruit. I encourage ALL of my clients to eat fruit. There are so many great antioxidants in fruit, they have amazing nutrients that our body needs, they offer natural sugars that our gut microbiome and brain need, and the fiber so that we can be regular!
Please, please, please don't be afraid of fruit!
Ok, so here is the thing. I DO NOT believe that we have an unhealthy relationship with fruit. I feel we have an unhealthy relationship with processed foods; and if you are choosing to eat an apple over grabbing a fruit bar, or some raspberries instead of eating those goldfish than please-GO FOR IT! Eat the gosh darn fruit!
All medical problems aside; we are getting so nit-picky about what we should and should not eat; what macros we should be eating and how much of them, how fructose is the devil and yet we are not paying attention to the actual ingredients we are putting in our body. You are going for the highly processed protein bar to suit your macros and then sneer at me when I chose to eat a banana. What is happening here?!
I will continue to encourage my clients to eat mostly greens, vegetables, FRUITS and then adding in proteins, fats, and wholesome grains. I feel like the more we encourage people to round out their diet with wholesome ingredients the better we will ALL be. Once we can get the processed food and other stimulants (alcohol and coffee) under control, than we can get into more specifics of what each individual person needs for their specific health.
To take it from what Julie Daniluk says: "There are 7.5 billion people out there, therefore there are 7.5 billion ways to eat."
