I was thinking to myself earlier that many people have dietary restrictions of SOME sort. Whether that be self-imposed or pre-determined. Plenty of people have allergies or take medications that don’t allow them to have certain foods, Grapefruit is (or was idk) not good for people on Blood Pressure medication I hear firsthand. Then there’s the religious exemptions, like avoiding Pork or alcohol or Beef. Then there’s also the ideological exemptions; Vegetarianism, Pescatarianism, Veganism, I could go on. TL;DR: Do you have a dietary restriction and if so, why?

Grapefruit actually interacts with tons of medications, actually.

Also it just tastes like worse oranges so I don’t know why anyone eats it lol

Vegan because of high cholesterol that is hereditary in my family. It was hard to get used to at first but I’ve adjusted and also lost a lot of weight in the process.

I have little problems drinking fruit juice and i will sometimes eat it cooked but eating it raw gives me stomach problems. Obviously if you can you should eat fruit, it’s very healthy because they generally have more vitamins than other foods.

You might be really deficient in fiber, which fruit have a lot of and fruit juice has none of. Getting a good fiber intake after a prolonged period of time of being deficient will be problematic and causes a lot of people to stop before they can overcome that.

Also very important to wash your fruit before consuming it, but if that still messes with your stomach then it isn’t worth it I suppose, too bad, fruit is great

I recall hearing that a lot of modern fruit, at least in the West, is significantly less nutritious than it used to be; if that’s true, it’s mostly sugar and a bit of fiber (but still better than fruit juice)

That’s definitely true, except bananas. Sorta. They actually tasted better and sweeter, they now taste more bland. Regardless I think it’s part of a nutritious balanced diet and I would recommend Dragonfruit, really good, Kiwis too
