Fresh fruit will not make you fat. I don't know about you, but my favorite part of any food store is the produce department. I love the rainbow of colors, shapes and sizes on display. The playful misting of the lettuces, the exotic vegetables I've never heard of from parts of the world I've only read about. I can't imagine anyone getting fat by eating a variety of any combination of the foods you find here. So why do people think fruit will make them fat? It's the F-Word - Fructose Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide and one of three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Unlike glucose which can be immediately available to the muscles, however, fructose must first be processed in the liver, giving it the lowest glycemic index of all sugars. Naturally, fructose is fou nd in fruit, many plants and some vegetables, but not in very high concentrations....

Post your stats :D (weight/heaight/lifts)
You're an inspiration to us all
DL--215X4
Chins--25+BWX5
Bench Press--95X5 (I plateaued and can't figure out how to fix it)
Squats--165X6 (I recently switched to ATG squats from just below parallel so I'm hoping to see this number go up quickly.)
Thanks. I can only partly take credit. I did the work, but without Martin's vast knowledge and generosity to freely share that knowledge, I'd still be spinning my wheels.
