Fruit The Sweet Misconception
There are countless weight loss theories out there. Sadly, most don’t hold water.
Discover the sweet misconception of fruit.
One popular myth is incredibly misleading:
“To lose weight, ditch meat for fruits and veggies!”
Let’s set the record straight. Fruit means fructose, which is sugar. And sugar leads to weight gain.
Historically, fruit consumption was a survival tactic. Post-hibernation, our ancestors used it to regain lost weight quickly.
The fruit was beneficial in desperate times, providing fast energy and helping pack pounds when needed.
But long-term fruit consumption wasn’t the plan. Our bodies were built for meat.
Studies of Australopithecus afarensis, a 3.2-million-year-old ancestor, confirm this. They were carnivores, just like us.
