Do we need fruit for muscle gains?

ad

I've been on a BB diet for around 1.5 years
During this time I have not consumed any fruit.

Will I die soon?

Hopefully you do eat a variety of vegetables, in that case you can still get the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients you need even though you dont eat fruit. If you meanto say you really dont eat either then yes you will die. Not today or tomorrow but a slow, fucked up, unhealthy ass death that will take a little time. No joke dude you need the nutrients to be at optimal health. No fruits OR vegies for years at a time will take its toll on your health and you will be one fucked up old man "IF" you even make it to old age.

Fruit is a great source of carbs that does not give an inflammatory response when digested. Great to keep cortisol-levels down.
Not to mention all the vitamins and antioxidants, but it seems my fellow eroiders already covered that aspect ;-)

My tip to you: Always buy organic, otherwise all the Good stuff Will be needed to repair the damage made by those nasty pesticides and antifungals!

Lots of good stuff, vitamins, are in fruit. Plus they are f'in delicious and pretty damn cheap, why aren't you eating any fruit is the real question. Toss some berries in those oats!

Yes! Fruits are important for the nutrients that they are loaded with. I eat an apple and banana every day.

No. But I think fruit can be very beneficial especially to spike insulin in the morn and after workouts. I would eat the fruit for sure.

I remember as a kid being poor we would practically live off of the fruit fields, I knew where all the trees and fields where that had food let me tell you!
