Fiber in your diet is very beneficial to a persons health for many reasons.  It will help in moving food through the colon faster, to help protect against constipation, spastic colon, colon cancer and hemorrhoids.  Get a wide variety of fiber though through a varied diet.  Gum and pectin fiber decrease fat absorption and lower cholesterol levels.  They also slow sugar absorption which is helpful to diabetics.  Yeah it's good for you and a cookie after a high fiber meal probably isn't as bad for you as if you hadn't had the fiber.

Whole fruit is better nutritionally than fruit juice.  It has all of the votamins and minerals as the juice, as well as fiber to fill you up.  THe fiber is handy also in keeping your blood sugar from spiking which can happen as juice is full of sugars (natural or not, sugar is sugar).

yes, because it increases your metabolism, which burns fat more efficiently. Fruit or whole grain cereal dont add much calories and jumpstart your system.

I went 3-4 weeks on fruits and veggies and it did not hurt.\n\nBut I sure felt better when I got some fish and chicken added to the diet. Make sure you get 5 servings of fruits and veggies each day.\n\nA good way to eat fruit is by itself - as a snack.\nNOT as a dessert as the main meal takes a while to digest\nand fruit dissolves so quickly and will start to ferment - yuck!\n\nPS also did 9 days on a water fast - really cleaned some poisons out.

Sounds like all the fruit you eat may actually be doing you more harm than good.  Try more protein.  Lean meats and nuts...peanut butter if you'd rather eat that.  This worked for a cousin of mine when she was a young child and was diagnosed with IBS.  She was on a diet of protein, including protein shakes for almost two years before her stomach started to heal itself.  Best of luck to you.

The best thing I have found it to always have fruit around. A nice apple or pear etc will lower the crave for any food, takes a while to digest and overall, much lower on calories. Over a long period of time, not a quicky, I have lost over 75 lbs doing this.

Papaya is the best for you. Kiwi has fiber so its really really good for you.\n\nMost fruits have sugar and sugar makes it harder for fat to get released in your body. It actually stores fat in your body so I wouldnt recommend indulging in just fruit as a diet.

Anythings excessive cause toxic in our system.you need. plenty of water to flush them out.Too much oil cause us to become fat and put a heavy load on the liver,.too much protein put a heavy load on the kidney,too much sugar will lead to diabetes,\ntoo much acidic food is bad for the digestive system,too much meat is bad for the intestine so you need to balance with vegetable and so forth.

Grapefruits and/or the juice in a grapefruit can alter the way certain medications are metabolized within the body thus basically increasing the effects of the medication which can be harmful to the body.

Bananas can make you gain weight but I think, in general, that this is very false. Fruit is great for you.\nToo much may give you the runs but fruit is very good for your GI tract and helps clean it.\nI went on a fruit diet for 3 weeks and had nothing but fruit.\nI lost a lot of weight but felt great.

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!

manufacturers add sugars and other stuff to juice that's no good for you. fruits have only natural sugars.

Oh absolutely!  If you eat a lot of fruit a day or so ahead of time it's more sweet and less salty or bitter.  If you eat a lot of red meat it's known to make it really bitter.  Even what you drink affects the taste.

Fruit has a high sugar content,its a natural and slower burning sugar,but in the long run if its overconsumed its does the same kind of damage as white table sugar!Many people on the quest for a healthy diet make that mistake!You need to restrict your fruit intake to no more then 2-4 portions of fruit per day.one portion is a medium size apple or 1/2 banana or about 10 grapes!If you overdo the fruit consumption your putting yourself at risk for major pancreas problems down the road,and possibly syndrome X.If your feeling hungry it could be your not balancing your meals or eating enough protein or fat.Read the book the zone diet,and your body knows best by Anne louise gittleman.
