10 High Carb Foods
High Carb Food #8: Fruit
Food doesn’t come much healthier than fruit. Fruit is jam-packed full of vitamins and minerals and medical experts widely recommend that it should be eaten on a daily basis. It is low in fat and calories as well as being high in fibre. It is ideal for people trying to cut the calories to lose weight, but it is not always suitable for all diets.
Many fruits have a high fructose content, which is a kind of sugar and, therefore, a carbohydrate. While fructose is a ‘good’ carb, it is still a carb, and not suitable for a low-carb diet. Some fruits are lower in fructose than others, though, so may still be included. Remember that fruits are a very important source of essential nutrition for us, so bear that in mind if looking to cut them from your diet.
