It may be hard for you to imagine but I didn't always like fruit... 🤯 It wasn't that I disliked it necessarily, it was that I wouldn't let myself eat it because all the myths I believed about fruit. The only fruit I would unapologetically enjoy was watermelon in the summertime. Outside of that I pretty much avoided fruit. I'd maybe have an apple a day or a 6 strawberries. Yes 6. I would count. 🙄 I was so terrified of the "sugar" in the fruit. I was afraid the "sugar" in fruit would cause weight gain, which was a concern because at the time I was trying to lose weight. I was afraid the "sugar" in fruit would lead to diabetes, especially since at the time I was showing signs of insulin resistance. I was afraid that the "sugar" in fruit was feeding my candida. So much so that I went through a period where I didn't eat any fruit whatsoever for months because my doctor said that the 1 apple or 6 strawberries I was eating was probably the reason why my candida levels kept getting higher and higher. I pretty much put blinders on when it came to fruit. I did enjoy fruit. I loved my daily apple or strawberries. But I wouldn't let myself dwell on the beauty of fruit for too long because then I'd want to eat it and I felt that it would be unhealthy for me to. Until one day I got some lab work back after not eating any fruit for months and my candida levels were at an all time high. My hormones were a mess. AND I felt like shit. 💩 My doctor questioned it I was still eating an apple daily. I reassured her I wasn't eating any fruit or processed sugar at all. It was at the moment I realized I was being lied to about fruit. 🤯 I had followed her instructions and my health had literally nothing to show for it. So I started eating more fruit and I haven't looked back since! ⚡️ I had been conditioned to see fruit as this evil food group that was making me sick and fueling my health problems. When I started eating more fruit my life literally became brighter, more joyful, and more fruitful.
