Can you eat unlimited amounts of fruit on the Nutrisystem diet?

There is no question that fruits and vegetables are an important part of the Nutrisystem diet. Some people want to make the most of this and wonder if they can eat an unlimited amount of fruits. It seems to me that, unsurprisingly, more people are asking about eating fruits than vegetables.

I heard someone say, “I’m interested in starting the Nutrisystem diet relatively soon. But I’m wondering if I’ll be able to eat a lot of fruits. I love sweets and even though I know I may have to give up my cookies, I feel like bananas and Kiwifruit are a decent substitute, at least while I’m dieting. But I wonder if there will be limitations on how much I can eat. ” I will address these concerns below.

I find that there is sometimes confusion about the unlimited amount of fruits and vegetables on this diet. Many non-starchy vegetables ARE unlimited, but only those that have a low glycemic index. (For example, tomatoes, asparagus, and broccoli). You may already know this, but Nutrisystem encourages and provides foods that are glycemic-friendly, which means they have less starches and carbohydrates so you feel full and maintain your blood sugar level. firm. You are encouraged to eat more foods that are glycemic-friendly and less foods that are not.

That is why fruits are not unlimited. They are usually richer in natural sugars. (For example, an apple may have more than 25 grams of sugars, although these sugars are more beneficial than processed ones because they are easily converted into energy.) And although it is recommended to eat up to three servings of fruits per day, these are not unlimited. But the portion sizes are generous. For example, a serving is an apple, a banana, or a whole cup of blueberries, cherries, strawberries, or pineapple, to name just a couple of examples.

It is suggested to have a fruit with breakfast, plus another in one of the main meals or with a snack. And you can have a fruit or vegetable with dinner. So that’s up to three a day if you choose fruit over vegetables for dinner. Breakfast is suggested because it is usually very easy to incorporate fruit with breakfast. Just add strawberries to your cereal or blueberries on top of your French toast. It’s also easy to add fruit to a protein-based snack. Cherries on top of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese is a quick, easy, and nutritious way to fit a serving into your day.

I know this question was based on having a lot of fruit but believe it or not I sometimes have people ask me if they can skip the fruit because they don’t like it. You shouldn’t skip the fruit, but you can substitute four ounces of pure fruit juice with no added sugar.

I know not having unlimited fruits may sound like a negative, but honestly, you are also asked to add veggies and protein. So you have a lot of new sides that you are trying to work on. So you usually have more than enough.
