I have been trying to find specific info on fruits and veggies and there effects, but haven't really found what I am looking for. Obviously they are full of vitamins and minerals etc and should always be included in the diet...
I have heard in the past that veggies don't count towards overall calories in the day as most of their calories are burned in the digestion process. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this as I would like to know the full story. I also know you can eat them after a carb cutoff, what specifically makes this the case? Do they actually provide any energy to the body?
Fruits as well. What is the deal here? Full of sugar but this isn't a problem. I have heard you should try to limit fruit intake to low GI but that is about as much as I know. Do fruits come under the category of being removed in a carb cutoff? If so why? Do their calories contribute to the overall calories eaten throughout the day? Do they cause an insulin spike and thus shouldn't be eaten with high fat meals? Just trying to get a bit more educated on the subject.
Any insight is appreciated,
