DON’T EAT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES…
Would I tell my son that?
Absolutely not.
So why are so many people being told to avoid fruit when they’re trying to lose weight?
Whether you’re dieting or not, fruit and vegetables provide far more than just calories. They’re packed with vitamins and minerals that support your health, recovery, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.
They also add volume to your meals, helping you feel fuller for longer without majorly increasing your calorie intake.
Let’s be honest… I’d much rather see my girls eating an apple, banana, or bowl of strawberries than demolishing a 250g bar of Dairy Milk.
Yes, fruit contains natural sugars and different fruits have different glycaemic index ratings. But just like everything else, context and moderation matter.
One thing I’m incredibly passionate about is educating my team, and my son, about food, not just the calories in it, but the value it brings to their body.
Because food isn’t simply fuel for weight loss… It’s fuel for health, performance, growth, and wellbeing.
