Daily berry/nut drink
am I setting myself up for failure by adding daily fruit to my diet?
As a matter of principal, in the past I have avoided all fruit while on a low carb diet. I am averaging about 20 carbs per day, while in my weightloss phase. Interestingly I was looking at blackberries and raspberries and was surprised to see how low in net carbs they both are. I have begun making a nut/ berrie drink to enjoy in the evening that contains 5 carbs net with 56 grams raspberries, and 28 grams pine nuts and 2 tbs chie seeds and 1 oz heavy whipping cream.
FYI... I am eating two meals per day. Lunch at 11 and then dinner around 5, this is why my carb consumption is little enough to allow a fruit drink splurge in the evening.

If it's not impeding your goal then go for it. Berries are inherently healthy.

I've been low carb (25-50 g/day) since January, lost 30+ pounds, feel great- and have fruit daily. I recommend sticking with low GI fruit like grapefruit, apples, berries.

abowman70 25-50 net carbs or total carbs?

Question about net carbs and success. I'm wondering if people have more success watching total carb before the net carb or vs ? Some "low carb " items are filled with carbs bulked with fiber. I'm trying to avoid all higher "low carb " items like Adkins products for now.

abowman70 is the 25-50g net or total? Reason I ask is I set my goal for 30 g net carbs a day to attempt to lose weight effectively. Your progress sounds great!

ryaro05 sorry. I was out of cell range. The 25-50g is total. If it's a day of protein bars and shakes it ends up being closer to 50g.
