Thanks, am not eating frit at the moment or before, I just tried to eat fruits when first posting this post, I reacted badly and was disappointed, apart from fruit and nuts I eat meat, veg, eggs, and cheese. I actually eat nuts like once a month, not on a daily basis, but when I eat nuts I don't like to eat it as a snack, I just eat it instead of a meal, I don’t force myself not to eat a main meal when having nuts, but perhaps because nuts are so fatty I sort of don’t have an appetite to eat anything else.
I wanted to introduce fruit for variety and to hope to get rid of taking vitamin pills, I sometimes don't have appetite to eat meat or veg or cheese or eggs, so was thinking like a couple of fruit or fresh fruit salad for breakfast or lunch sometimes if not too hungry, however, it seems this is not going to work for me now (my stomach didn’t like it lol).
I was also hoping to use fruit as a healthy portable fast food, again it seems this is not going to work out, due to Judy’s advise, and me re-reading some of the LC books I concluded that a 2-3 fruits will my insulin level and this is something I don't want to do. Therefore, will listen to Judy's advice and stick to berries with some nut flakes or cream to keep the glycimic effect as low as possible.
Thanks for offering to help, I do appreciate that you and others on this forum are going out of your way to help. If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
