Eat FRUIT in Season (use a produce calendar for your locality) and in moderation. Use LOW fructose fruit. Fructose builds fat. Eat 2 fruit & 3 veg daily. Gundry’s 5 favourite fruit. Berries are low in fructose. Veg with seeds is a fruit eg tomatoes 1. Kiwi 2. Crisp pears (not too ripe) 3, Persimmon 4. Passion fruit 5. Pomegranate seeds
It's kinda amusing to me that in the new keto movement alot of people skip fruits entirely. And lets not forget the carnivores who skip all plant foods. While flavonoids and phenolic acids are extremely important for health. Quercetine, resveratrol and fisetin for example have senolytic properties. Builds the immune system and are anti aging. Not to mention all the vitamins and minerals. I got some health advice from a overweight work colleague once. He saw me with 2 bananas, 1 apple and some berries at lunch. Telling me how bad all the fructose would be for me. I'm 7 years older than him, but look much younger. Maintained the same weight for over 20 years. Have a 6-pack without even trying. Never been sick, not even a cold in all that time. Maybe im doing something right? The secret is you need to combine fruits with a active lifestyle full of excercise.
My 81yo mom has purchased your program 2 months ago and has lost about 8 lbs of abdominal fat, she's felling so much better and is never Hungry! So I'm giving it a try as a VEGAN. Not craving nearly as many foods at night and can feel a lot less belly buldge. Im '7 and 171 this morning. I'll take your recommendations and meld for my ethics. Cheers! EDIT: 2 weeks later 164.7 this AM!
I have practiced the Fit For Life Diet for the past 30 years which allows you to eat as much fruit as you like (but only fruit) before noon. I believe this is the reason I never get sick (not even a cold) and have stayed lean and trim all these years. I am now 66 years old and my BMI is 22.0. I recognize that I may have benefited from inadvertently practicing intermittent fasting all these years but the fructose has not seemed to have hurt me. It does seem to make it harder to remain in mild ketosis but I'm typically between 0.2 and 0.4 first thing in the morning.
Checked my blood today. I am 48 and doctors said: very rare, very rare to see so great results! Cholesterol 4.19, Triglycerides 1.31 HDL and LDL below middle normal range. All was crazy high a year ago. Thank you very much!!!
Anthony William's book the medical medium says fruits are good... Dr. Gundry says no. So confusing. Very frustrating. One cardiac focused ones mystery illness focused.
Noodles made from split peas! I grind dry split peas into a fine flour. I use this to make Peadles. Iix 3/4 cup split pea flour and mix it with 1 egg and 2 tablespoons warm water. I form a dough an let it rest in the refrigerator any where from 3 to 24 hours. Then I roll my Peadle dough out into an egg noodles (sorry, Peadles). To keep the dough from sticking to your rolling pin, I coat it with a little butter! I then place them into a pot of water at a low boil and cook my Peadles for approximately 20 minutes the strain and mix with a little butter. If you live peas of split pea soup, you will love Peadles!
Working in Endocrinology, and having autoimmune disease, I have never seen so many people with leaky gut!!!! Gluten free has helped me but only 80% of the time. I am making changes starting tonight! Thank you!
What about wild blueberries, where do they fit in the fructose spectrum? Does it matter if they are wild. I buy the frozen wild blueberries for smoothies.
THANKS SOO MUCH FOR ANSWERING OUR QUESTION ABOUTE WGA ,BECOUSE ITS VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE. WE LOVE YOUR PODCAST AND ALL YOUR BOOKS!THANKS FOR AMAZING WORK!!
When I hear theories of how humans evolved I have to point out that equatorial Africa has two rainy seasons per year, two crop seasons. Most theories ignore that humans mostly evolved in that environment.
Some of the most effective fat burning popular diets. Recommend nothing but fruit untill noon. I have put it to the test and i know many others that did the same. A high fruit diet is not a fattening diet.
Maybe it is because of where I live (Los Angeles) but it's basically impossible to get local, in-season fruit. The supply chain of grocery stores just does not work that way. Even when certain fruits are in season here in California - let's say strawberries - what you find in the stores is usually grown elsewhere, especially if you try to eat organic. The only way to local, in season fruit is to go to the farmer's market but it's almost never organic.
You complicate our food choice by restricting many fruits claiming its harm to our health. Please stop non sense of using monkey as your model for human.
Thank you. Our modern 'Tower of Babel' communications systems - unfortunately - create barriers to that purpose, at least for some of the most vulnerable, affected, at-risk social classes. Thanks for the information and the hurdles you jump.
Given that celery and lettuce digest well with fruit, whilst slowing down digestion all the while. The question is how much this is the case? Especially with coconut olive oil always on hand to help in this respect too. Helps with nutrient absorption to boot, what's not to love?...in modest quantities that is.
Dr Gundry, Please look at the ingredients in the Abbott product "Jevity" used in ICU hospital units (for patients with feeding tubes) and tell us what to do when the hospital and doctors are clueless about the dangerous ingredients in this food product. My best friend has lost thirty pounds of muscle/tissue while in the ICU unit for a pulmonary embolism and I am concerned that she is wasting away.
Hello Dr! I’m 100% Thai. Born raised there. We have 100’s (maybe 1000’s) of local or wild fruits year round. We don’t have any of the berries you mentioned. Does what you said in this vid still apply to me? Thank you
Many people live in places that are too cold to grow most fruits. Applesin the fall and blck berries at the end of the summer are about all I get. Antioxidents are highest in the darkest fruit and the most colorfull. What is in season for one isn't even available to others. This is certainly an unfair advantage to those who live in warmer climates like the doctor.
Your premise that fruit makes us gain wait doesn't hold up to the evidence of a frugivore like Freelee. She's been eating tons of fruit for over a decade and is rail thin, how do you explain that?
Summary: more fruit you eat will lead to increase in fat storage, triglycerides and cholesterol; fruit in moderation and fruit that is in season where you live; eat 1 serving fruit a day; ‘Farm Calendar’ app will advise of fruits in season in your area; will best fruits low in fructose are berries(particularly raspberries, strawberries, boysenberries and mulberries), kiwi fruit, crispy pear, passion fruit, pomegranate including seeds). Don’t eat frozen fruit out of season. Avoid sourdough bread at all costs.
"Great apes didn't know about hybridizing fruits" Yeah... They also didn't know about cooking meat, culturing dairy, fermenting fruits and vegetables, how to make pharmaceutical drugs or perform surgeries. Your points are invalid.
I Don't know what to eat as breakfast. I don't eat gluten and I don't eat meat only fish. I can't tolerate cold food. So it's tricky. I'm 48 years old and have started to gain weight.
I live in Florida and our growing season is backwards! Fruits and greens in winter, and little is available in summer! What can we eat in summer? Thanks
Buying fruit that is only produced one season helps the earth so much as far as global warming so I’m really glad that this video encourages us to stay in season appropriately with our seasons and to eat what is local for your region my goal is not only to help myself but to help our planet as well
Dr Gundry I am a fan your work, but how is it that you're ignoring a poison like oxalate and keep recommending Kiwi and some other things high in Oxalate?
Ugh! I thought fruits were good for me. Been eating a lot the past few months. No wonder why I put on a few pounds. 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you Dr. Gundry. Time to cut back on them.
What are your thoughts on eating foods that agree with and match our blood groups? I read the blood group diet and tried it. Honestly I love rice, vermicelli and miso etc. The only thing is I still didn't lose weight and some parts of the diet didn't agree. I get really sick feeling from Brazil's and can't stand pistachio. Strange how the author actually worked this all out and was spot on with what I have issues with etc.
Telling a frugivour species don't eat too much fruit is the definition of insanity. I am yet to see a fat fruitarian. In fact, they cannot eat enough calories to maintain their lean weight. This is most irresponsible to tell people who are already been deceived by the notion that they are omnivores lol.
I read they do grow bananas in Canada. I love bananas and I like pomegranate too. May be I will get kiwi and pomegranate next time. Thanks for sharing this information.
I have a smoothie everyday. I add about 1.5 cups of berries and obtain around 3 glasses out of it. So, in theory, I consume about .5 a cup of berries a day. Is this acceptable Dr. Gundry?
Will you PLEASE tell us if we can eat corn tortillas daily? I know that the corn is okay because it's made of hominy flour (lye has removed the hull), but your other podcast says that it can make omega 6 soar. How bad would it be to eat 1/2 c. hominy flour/masa harina per day? Thank you!
Hello Dr hungry I do have your plant paradox book. my question is how I can eat lectin free. As well for my type B+ and eat polyphenos.I used to make kiwi green grapes kale juice.but now that I know kale is not really good for me .my skin was perfect.

Thanks,dio much for what you do.hope I get some answers about this dilema.
Hi Dr Gundry, my name is Harman Sandhu. I am from New Zealand and I follow your yes food list. I love your podcasts.my question for you is . Is sago or sabudana ( indian) okay to consume ? Thank you :)
I agree with what you are saying but I had to go back to fruit because my potassium was low , are there any other options to increase my potassium intake?
Green veggies, avocado's, kidney beans (lectins though) wild fish and red meat, more in organ meats if you're ok with them. Just wondering how did you know your potassium was low?
Hello, normally i don’t live in the place I was born , when you say eat local fruits, does it mean that if i am in states and bananas are in season in my city I could eat them, or that I should eat fruit only in season where ever I might be living in? Thank you!
Good stuff! But what about your metabolic type/ primal pattern diet (Paul Chek talks a lot about this). We have different types and some need more carbs and other more protein/ fats and veggies?
Thanks! I will be wary about my subway soughdough bread habit, One question, should vitamin D be supplemented with vitamin K? Is Emu Oil a good source of vitamin K?
Hi Dr. Gundry, if Milk is heated to boiling point for minutes, would it then be safe to drink casin A cow milk? and does boiling the milk damage its nutritional values?
Tha African fig fruits all year round, that's a fact, so how does it fruit. Well I live near a couple. The fruit grows off the trunk and branches, so there is a fair amount of fruit ripening, all the time. It's one of the miracles of nature. So be wise and eat in moderation.
