But if you want to eat additional fruits, there's no law against it - it's up to you to test to see if your body finds them OK.  I can manage about a quarter to a third of an apple if I eat that with other food including some fat, but I can eat occasional small portions of other fruit such as cherries, nectarines, greengages and plums.Green vegetables are generally a good source of fibre and are very low in carbs, and nuts in moderation are also alternative sources.Robbity</blockquote>
