Some fruit

Consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables has long been associated with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer. However, because many fruits are high in carbohydrates, they are not recommended for low-carb diets.

So, it's advised to avoid some fruits, especially those that are sweet or dried, such as:

• Apple (1 small): 23 grams
• Banana (1 medium): 27 grams
• Raisins (1 ounce/28 grams): 23 grams
• Dates (2 large): 36 grams
• Mango, sliced (1 cup / 165 grams): 25 grams

Berries include more fiber and less sugar than other fruits. Berries are thus good for low-carb diets, though those who follow very low-carb eating regimes may want to limit their intake to 1/2 cup (50 grams) daily.
