Redeemer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hey everyone! I've been pushing myself to become healthier, as you all know. First I started by eating less, now I'm finishing my journey with eating more fruit. I've worked strawberries, oranges and peaches (they aren't too nice but I can deal with it) into my diet. Now I'm wondering what other fruits are yummy. What are your favourites, and what do you recommend? I like sweet things, nothing bitter or sour... Also I'm fatally allergic to bananas. So please don't suggest that one. ;_; Btw this is the first time in my life I've really eaten fruit. I was a stubborn child before, and only now am I getting out of that mindset.

Fana McCloud Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I really love apricots and mangoes myself, especially the latter. Mangoes are sorta citrus-y but also have lots of fiber and are generally awesome health-wise. If you want them to be sweet eat them when they're a bit squishy when squeezed and ripe (not mostly green) - I usually get firmer ones because I like tartness.

CrypticQuery Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 One of the only fruits I will actually eat are seedless red grapes. Wash them, stick them in the fridge for a little bit, and eat them when they are cold. Some of the best things ever right there. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Eat a small piece of dark chocolate everyday, it has a lot of health benefits. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING WHEN I WAS SHOPPING TODAY! I was in the health store buying tofu, and I saw the dark chocolate bars and I thought "I'll need to pick one up before I pay for the tofu". Then I paid for the tofu and left. God. Damnit. ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Pineapple is my favorite fruit. I'm sorry to hear you're allergic to bananas. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberson Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I think a diet of more vegetables and grains would be more beneficial since fruits carry sugar in them. Not to say its a bad idea or that fruits are bad, just that there could be a better option. If I understand correctly, fiber and olive oil can help manage one's appetite by giving you the sense of feeling full (especially fiber). Some also argue that an effective way of pulling weight off quickly is to try and work on a liquid diet. Can't say I know exactly how that one should work out since I have never thought much on it, but low calorie drinks that also give the feeling of being full would help. Supposedly green tea also helps suppress your appetite...just a thought! I couldn't swap out my sweet tea for green tea after I make the switch XD Of course any chance in diet on top of mild aerobic exercise will help. I have often considered the benefits of weight lifting to help take weight off (since it takes extra calories to maintain muscle) but I am not quite sure on how this works on women as opposed to men because of the whole testosterone level difference and the slight stigma against very muscular women.

Redeemer Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 I already do a lot of cardio and strength training, it's the best way to tone up. :3 I already eat a lot of vegetables, can't get enough of them. X333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
