Does eating fruit when dieting turn into fat due to the high sugar in them?

Not at all, especially if you're eating whole fruits - with peel and all. So, dont peel apples, eat oranges, avoid bananas and tropical fruits (their fructose content is higher than ordinary, colder climate fruits - oh, wait, you can eat mangoes because their fibre content is akin to eating bark of the tree). Avoid juices, especially those labelled "smooth" which means that the pulp (therefore all fibre) has been removed. Eating fruit does elevate your blood sugar so eat them in moderation while dieting. They still provide vitamins and minerals vital to the proper functioning of the body - without which you'll slow down your metabolism and not loose weight at all

Sugar causes the body to produce insulin and this leads to the storage of excess calories as fat.  Sodium doesn't have much to do with fat at all.

to obtain glucose, your body uses the food that you eat, breaks it down into sugars, carbons and waste, and then uses the sugar and carbons. you can guess where the waste ends up. anyway, if you stop eating, your body will finish digesting the last meal you ate. after that has been used up, your liver stores an approx 24 hours of glucose. when that has been used up, your body has 2 types of fat. brown fat, the fat that you have to keep you warm, and white fat, the extra energy-rich fat. your body will break down the white fat first, producing energy and something called keytones. in large quantities, keytones are deadly, but they come out of your system through urine. anyway, when the white fat has been used up, the brown fat is broken up. then the body begins to break down your muscles and begins to take nutrients from your bones. soon, you cant lift yourself up because you lack the muscles, your bones are more breakable than glass, and your body begins to dissolve your organs. not long later, you die. \n\nin someone who is diabetic, the body cannot digest the sugars that you have, so their goes the first two steps in the starvation ladder. you end up dying more quickly. all of the sugar builds up and is eventually pours out into your urine.\n\none last note, if you starve yourself, your keytones wont all be able to come out in your urine. so you will get a buildup of keytones, wich, depending on if you are overweight, would end up killing you before starvation does. this depends on how overweight you are.

it can make you fat if you drink it all the time and don't cut back on other foods to balance your calorie intake. high fructose corn syrup= halfway processed sugar= easier for your body to process into fat. a can will have 150 calories on average for regular soda. if you don't balance out these calories from somewhere such as not having a cookie or two or exercising for a while to burn the calories then your going to windup gaining weight from it.

dieting interferes with your metabolism and fools your body into thinking that it's going through a starvation cycle. if you keep doing it, and going back and forth, your body will learn to compensate for these starvation/plenty waves by trying to even your metabolism out, and you will gain more in the non-diet phase and lose less during the diet phase. that's your body trying to save itself. \n\nin other words, dieting makes people fat. the only thing that works is a sensible combination of regular exercise and a permanently healthy diet of little to no meat, no junk food, lots of whole foods, fruit and vegetables.

Most fruits and vegetables are low in fat. Do not chose avocados, they are high in fat.

if you eat more calories and do less work you will become fat. vitamins are not responsible for making us fat. calories makes us fat. calories are found in oil eatables, snacks,soda, all junk foods, etc

fat is part of a balanced diet, and most foods you eat will at least contain some fat. The trick is not to go overboard and eat thing like chocolate and McDonalds which are really nothing but fat.

Calories are calories, whether they are from oranges or donuts. Obviously, it would take a whole lot more oranges and there are certainly other health concerns with the donuts, but to answer your specific question...If you take in more calories than you are burning, you will get fat. It doesn't matter the source.

One of many, many,ways to do this is to stop drinking sodas and if you are truly serious try cutting out all added sugar.  Or if you really want to watch the sugar intake, try counting SUGAR GRAMS, not calories.  allow yourself 40 sugar grams every 8 hours.  When you start looking at sugar grams in the things you eat on a daily base, you will be SHOCKED.    This not only helps reduce weight and body fat, it also helps reduce the risk of becoming diabetic.

Fructose, the sugar in fruit, will be the first to burn.  An orange is enough.  If you overeat fruit, you will gain weight and get diarrhea.

There's been alot of debate as to the exact cause of diabetes, but the researched I've done seems to be pointed towards excess artificial sugar consumption (sucrose). Fructose and lactose, natural sugars found in fruit and milk are the the healthy sugars and can be consumed without worries. However things that contain "High fructose corn syrup" should be avoided since this is an artificially constructed sugar that bears no mineral benefit, despite the "fructose" label. In a perfect health balance, the only things that should taste sweet to you are fruit, milk, and possibly honey.\n\nDifferent juices may contain a mixture of both fructose and sucrose - it's just hard to tell because production is only required to label "sugar" on the nutrition facts label. The best thing you can do if you are concerned about diabetes is to buy a juicer and juice your own fruit - that way you are guaranteed fresh juice with 100% natural fructose.\n\nI would suggest reading more about processed sugar and its relation to diabetes. If you haven't already read this book, do so: http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Blues-William-Dufty/dp/0446343129/sr=8-1/qid=1164100507/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5167168-9400121?ie=UTF8&s=books

Be careful with juice.  I have been doing some research and fruit juice is too concentrated with simple sugars which can cause you to gain weight.  Vegetable juices are better.  The best juicers are strong enough to pulverize the pulp into juice so you drink that also.  The extra pulp will be a great source of fiber and offset the sugar concentration.  The strongest juicers are also the most expensive but worth it in the long run!  Good Luck!

Calories that oyur body takes in and does not burn make you fat, so 0 calorie will not directly make you fat.  However, there is some evidence that artificial sweeteners (used in 0 caloire drinks) can slow your body's metabolism.  This would cause your body to burn fewer calories, so other calories obatained in the diet could make you fat, because not as many are burned.\n\nIt is speculated that there is possibly a feedback mechanism for sweet taste.  When the body experiences a sweet taste, it expects calories rich food.  If it gets that sweet taste and not the expected calories, it may lower its calorie consumption rate.  None of this is certain from what I have read, only speculation.

stay away from sugar...the more refined it is (ie. the sweeter it is) the fatter you get.\n\nsoft drinks, candy, cakes etc.......yuk!
