Fruit isn’t a free pass to health—especially if you’re trying to lose weight or balance your blood sugar. Most fruits are packed with sugar that spikes glucose and triggers cravings, fat storage, and energy crashes—especially when eaten in the morning or as a smoothie. Even dried fruit is worse. Want real health? Prioritize protein, fat, and fiber. Fruit isn’t evil, but it’s not a snack—it’s sugar. Eat it smart, or skip it.

Cravings are caused by low glucose levels after a glucose spike, and this cycle often starts with what you eat first thing in the morning.
