does fruit make you fat?

[Guest guest]

i have had conflicting stories about fruit or too

much fruit in a diet will make you overweight or fat.

is this true? i was told that if i consumes a diet

of mostly 90-100 % fruit and some cooked veggies and

if i dont exercise then i will gain weight and be

fat because of the sugar and high carbs, is this true

what are your thoughts and experiences<br><br>sharky

I have copied and pasted my message #339

here;<br><br> The best way to lose weight is to eat large

amounts of raw green leafy vegtables, and fruits. Raw<br>

foodists always have weight problems, not because they are

overweight, but because they are<br> underweight (according

to other peoples standards). The most wonderful

thing about living foods is<br> that you can eat all

you want, any time you want, of anything you want,

and the more you eat, the<br> more weight you lose.

In Stephen Arlin's book; Raw Power he states " To

gain weight, eat only once<br> or twice a day " . In the

book; Food Enzymes The Missing Link to Radiant Health;

it is stated<br> throughout the book that that the

main component of energy is enzymes, and that our

metabolism is<br> maintained by enzymes. Dr. David Galton of

Tufts Univerity, School of Medicine, examined

eleven<br> obese individuals weighing from 230-240 lbs. and

found enzyme deficiencies in their fatty tissue.

Not<br> only the fatty tissues were found lacking lipase,

but fatty tumors (lipomas) were also found deficient

in<br> lipase. Lipase is the enzyme that aids the body

in fat storage and the breaking down of fats.

Animals<br> in hibernation lose pounds of weight while

sleeping because of lipase activity. Without lipase,

fat<br> stagnates and accumulates in the arteries,

capillaries and other organs.<br><br> You get lipase from raw

fats, my favorite is avocado, if you can't get avocado,

use raw extra virgin<br> olive oil on your salads,

eat lots of raw nuts (germinate them to activate the

enzymes), use fresh corn<br> if you can. It is a beautiful

concept that if you are overweight, you need more

delicious raw fats (there<br> is a god). <br><br>I eat tons

of fruit and tons of avocadoes (I get them free),

and I am SKINNY. <br><br>Doug

well basically if you consume more calories than

you burn off (hence not exercising) then you will

gain weight. but i have heard of fruitarians losing up

to like 30 pounds rapidly. this is prob not too

safe. but the carbs in fruits and veggies are complex

carbs as opposed to empty calories found in high sugar

candy etc. so theyre healthy, contain fiber, and keep

you full longer. its a pretty healthy diet for a

short time though.
