He does recommend no fruit while cutting. But when you reach your goal, he says to add back in 2 fresh fruits a day.
Back in the “caveman” days, eating fruit was a rare delicacy because they really only grow well in the tropics. Yes, they are healthy for you, but yes, they will spike your insulin and cause your system to be signaled to gain weight. Most nutrients can also be had through vegetables.
I see both sides of the issue, and I looooove fruit. But for now, I’ve cut it out while I try to get my six-pack. 🙂
