You’re right! Fruits are great for you, because they provide essential vitamins and minerals! But, they DO spike insulin more than other foods. Although some may demonize fructose, in whole fruits, the fiber can balance out that load on the liver. However, if you’re trying to lose weight and you want to do it as fast as you can, you need to limit most fruits until you reach your goal. Examples of fruits you need to avoid while you are working towards your goal include: apples, grapefruit, grapes, melons, nectarines, oranges, peaches, pineapple and plums. Instead, stick with lemons and limes. Small berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) are okay in limited amounts.
