YES!!!! I eat them all. Of course I try to limit my intake of starchy veggies like beets, sweet potatos, carrots, peas, etc. But everything else is fair game.

Some bandsters like to follow a very low carb diet. I do not, and my doctor doesn't recommend it. So ask your doctor or nutritionist. But I do eat fruit. for several reasons. It's packed with Vitamins and nutrients, it's low fat, it satisfies my sweet tooth and it definately helps with irregularity. (Some bandsters have an issue with this) "Raw" food is just better for you, so I eat it 3 times a day. Lo calorie fruits like strawberries and melon are my standard. My doctor recommended grapefruit with the pithy skin taken off each section so it doesn't get stuck. Pluots and nectarines are my favorite.

i eat all fruits & veggies, with no problems either.

like aubrie, i tend to stay away from the starchy ones mostly - but not completely. i do love a baked sweet potato here/there.

banans/edamame/cabbage/grapes - part of the wkly diet, plus more. i'd have a problem w/a "diet" that didn't allow for these food groups in the mix...they're important!

I second Luluc's comment. Though I do take some extra care with overly fibrous fruits and veggies such as pinapple & asparagus. I still eat them I just try to cut them cross grain so they don't end up as a mass of strings in my mouth that I can't chew up well enough to swallow.
