Glenda and Barb -- love your comments.

Glenda - I so agree with the gateway drug thing. I did the Candida elimination diet to determin trigger foods and could feel the bloat happening as soon as they hit my stomach when it was a trigger. Waist could be 4 inches bigger by morning!

Barb - you and I have similar thresholds and tolerances with the fruit. I have even been able to eat an occasional half an apple, etc and still lose if I am watching the rest of the day;s carbs and not eating at the upper levels of the other gray area foods for me (like cheese)

Curly, I would try small quantities, every other day of a fruit you miss (One at a time) and see what effects they have on how you feel, your weight, and your cravings. If you try the food 3 times in a week and have no red flags, you can probably keep it in your permanent diet. If you do have a red flag, like weight gain, cravings or bloat, then you know you need to proceed with caution.
