i am soo tired of low carb advice. yeah, atkins & south beach work...temporarily. they are not meant to be lifestyle changes, only temporary measures to cut weight. south beach transitions you back to carbs after a few weeks.
& one can eat fruit, but it is best to eat it along with a protein or fat or low glycemic carbs, so your stomach combines the sugar with the other nutrients when it enters your bloodstream, thereby keeping your blood sugar from spiking. eating just fruit as a snack, i would agree is counterproductive to blood sugar levels & weight loss efforts. But fruit should be consumed in moderation because they contain essential vitamins & antioxidants.
a balanced diet, with an emphasis on low glycemic carbs, fiber, unsaturated fats, is the best lifestyle. the key is calorie management, & eating healthy foods you enjoy.
I would say drinking a bad tasting cleanse does nothing but turn you off to a healthier lifestyle. Fiber is a natural cleanser, so all the cleanse products is marketing & pissing money down the drain.
