why are people so phobic to insulin boosting fruit?

[kenneyj889]

I find if i dont eat strong insulin boosting fruit like dates and watermelon and rasins and candied sweet potato after a hypertrophy workout i feel extremely tired and more prone to overeating. i also dont get increased fat gain from more sugary fruit in comparison to less insulin boosting carbs even when surplus is same and seem to get slightly better strength gains eating more sugary fruits.

Is there a question in there or just Dear Diary

, its that i've seen tons of articles circulating saying fruit has too mcuh sugar and causes insulin resistance and therefore excess fat gain(the hallmark indicator loss of insulin sensitivity), and my expierience has been 100% contrary to this, and i wondered if this was other peoples expierience and why people keep making these claims.

Hey OP you know there's these things called scientific journals.. probably better info than random internet articles.

Food for thought.

Them insulin gains tho.

It’s a diet myth that fructose is processed through the liver and stored as fat, maybe that’s what op is talking about

I love them insulin fruit op i had some raisins, watermelon, sweet potato (candied of course) blended up with some sugar before and after my workout today and my bench went up 100lb

Tell me moar pls. I heard, unlike other carbs, fructose can only be stored in the liver. But apart from that I never really looked into it further.

It's not a myth exactly, you can overflow the liver with too much fructose - but only in extreme cases. It would be impractical with fruit because you'd have to force feed yourself and the fibre content would have you running to the toilet long before you got to that point.

Soda made with HFCS could in principle get you there though IIRC.

its a myth persay so there is no actual data, just it spikes insulin the fastest, but it’s such a small difference you won’t see any actual effect And like above says you would have to eat so much fiber you’d have the runs and stored in the liver etc doesn’t mean much cakes you have to go balls to the wall with fruit
