Fruit Question:)

[nela_marie]

Hi everyone I just have a quick question.... I'v been trying to stay away from carbs as much as I can, and I'v been snacking on apples and oranges a lot. But I read on the internet that they both have like 20 carbs.... Are they like good carbs or something?? Will I gain weight if I eat a few apples and oranges everyday? thanks

Hi there! I've personally never heard of anyone getting fat on fruit.

Fruit is good, complex carbs, usually low GI, has to go through the liver before the body can use it so it's a slooooow release carb.
