Can fruit cause weight gain?

[mawallace]

I had lost a lot of weight, but I have put on a stone over the last six months. Thinking back, I think it was when I switched to increasing my fruit intake.

I exercise by a brisk walk 30 mins a day!

I think I may be having too much carbs? But I thought the carbs in fruit would not lead to weight gain?#

The only other thing is that I take Acai tablets - and drink five cups of green tea. Would either of these lead to weight gain? I thought they would help me loose weight?

Any surplus calories in the calorie balance will cause weight gain - this doesnt matter whether they are from a healthy source or an unhealthy source.

In addition - increased volume of food can mean that you carry extra food weight... Things like toilet habits come into the equation.

If you haven't done so already you need to analyse your calorie balance and you will see whether your increased consumption makes sense.

Too Much intake of nay food cause weight sometimes overweight is also occur. We should always eat balanced diet to maintain good health.

Yes, too much fruit can cause weight gain. Too much intake of any food can cause weight gain, although some foods are much better to eat in excess than other foods.3 Ways Fruit Can Cause Weight Gain:-
Drinking It
A medium orange contains 62 calories and 3.1 grams of fiber. On the other hand, an eight-ounce glass of OJ will run you 108 calories and offer zero grams of fiber. Juice may be an easy way to take in vitamins and minerals, but it's usually high in calories and lacking in fiber.
Eating It Dried
Raisins, dried apricots, and prunes are definitely a great source of fiber, but the low-water content makes dried fruit a calorically dense food. Since a quarter cup of dried fruit can run over 100 calories, eat it sparingly.
In Baked Goods
Homemade banana bread was a weekly staple in my house, and my mother always said it was healthy because "it's made with bananas."

Yes unfortunately they can. Ive been on a fruit and vegetable diet for a week (the similar to this one here or from this article) and I was so surprised when i gained weight, even though both fruits and vegetables have laxative effect, Maybe I lost water but definitely not fat. Fruits are not calorie free and sugar is sugar whether it's a tablespoon of sugar or in a fruit.

No, not all but most of fruits are healthy for weight loss, but the little ones that have damage to your diet.
I advise you query your doctor or personal trainer, or any person having knowledge about so that gives you a good list of fruits and unhealthy to move away her final
