Certain fruits
Fruits in general are good for the body and have consistently been linked to a lower risk of cancer [1] and heart disease [2].
However, there are many fruits that are high in carbs and not suitable for a low carb diet, especially sweet or dried varieties, such as:
- Banana (1 medium): 27 grams
- Apple (1 small): 23 grams
- Dates (2 large): 36 grams
- Raisins (1 ounce/28 grams): 23 grams
- Mango, sliced (1 cup / 165 grams): 25 grams
Berries are highly recommended for a low carb diet since they are lower in sugar and higher in fiber than other fruits. Although people on very low carb eating patterns may want to stick to 1/2 cup (50 grams) per day.
