Fruits should be advised to take in right proportion. Gaining weight due to eating fruits only is not only the reason. You should manage the quantity of other nutrients too like protein, fats & other carbs. For more inquiry you can contact us.

Hello. The time when you have your fruits are very important. It is important to not have any fruit during your major meals, like lunch dinner. Always have it as a snack, without any other carb source with it. If taken with the other meals, the fructose in the fruits gets converted to fats which may be responsible for the weight gain. Thus eating fruits is not bad, but eating fruits at the right time of the day is what is necessary.
