Sometimes, when we think of "Carbohydrates" we may instantly think of pasta or bread. It was only a few years back, when I started to take an active interest in nutrition, that I was really, REALLY surprised to find that fruit is very high in carbs as well as those traditional things we think of as 'carbs'.
🍉FRUITS ARE CARBS🍉
[But there is nothing wrong with that!]

When some people 'cut carbs' they may often reduce how much pasta, bread, rice, they eat but continue to eat lots of fruit.

Personally, I went on a low carb diet and lost 80lbs. I still ate fruit but ate more "superfood" fruits, such as berries, which are lower in carbs. For higher carb fruits like apples and bananas I would continue to eat them, but choose a smaller apple for example.

Fruit is an amazing source of nutrients and vitamins, with a ton of benefits. Also, with the type of carbs in fruit in comparison to pasta, there is a difference, with carbs in fruit being absorbed slower into our body, which can avoid bloody sugar level spikes.
⭐️But....I believe and hope that comparison posts like this can help knowing what is what! So that we can all make informed choices based on our dietary preferences and goals
