But if you\u2019re on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/are-low-carb-diets-effective-for-weight-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">low-carb diet<\/a>, does the\u00a0sugar that\u2019s naturally present in fruit make it off limits? Are there any low-carb fruits you can eat and still stay on-track?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the answer is yes. \u201cPeople believe that fruits should be restricted or avoided all together because they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/possible-to-eat-too-much-fruit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high in sugar<\/a>. However, this is a very common misconception,\u201d explains nutrition therapist\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kkgnutrition.com.\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karin Kaplan Grumet, RD\/CEDRD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of benefits to fruit, and according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.choosemyplate.gov\/fruit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USDA<\/a>, adults should get about two cups of fruit per day. Not only do they have valuable nutrients like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/5-vitamin-c-rich-foods-to-eat-that-arent-oranges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin C<\/a>, potassium, and folic acid, there is also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/dietary-fiber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fiber<\/a>\u00a0in fruit that takes a long time for our bodies to digest, helping you to feel fuller and more satisfied for longer.<\/p>\n<p>But fruit\u00a0<em data-redactor-tag=\"em\">does<\/em> contains a significant amount of carbs per serving, thanks to the naturally occurring sugar fructose. That\u2019s why it\u2019s recommend that people who are following a low-carb diet, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-is-a-ketogenic-diet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ketogenic diet<\/a>, decrease the amount of fruit they eat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, there\u2019s some fruit that can pass the test,\u201d says Grumet. If you\u2019re following a low-carb diet and are wondering what fruits you can still eat, here are some common fruit varietals, ranked from the least amount of carbs to the most.<\/p>\n<h2>1.
