JanellaR Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I was told on a FB group that tomatoes, squash, and cucumber are fruit, and should be eaten accordingly (smaller amount on the plate than veggies). I can't seem to find anything in The Whole30 book or anywhere else that says this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2017 @JanellaR No, that's not correct. While any produce that has seeds is a fruit, the things we generally consider veggies such as cukes, bell peppers, squashes and tomatoes etc are considered veggies on the program. The actual fruits that are meant to be limited to 1-2 fist sized servings per day (if at all) are the sweet fruits that are high in natural sugars.

JanellaR Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think I'll stick around here rather than FB since it will be my first Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted August 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2017 @JanellaR - FB is the wild-west, those groups can become their own beast. The forum is moderated by people selected by Melissa Hartwig who are extremely familiar with the program, rules, recommendations etc. Not all facebook groups are incorrect but your safest bet is to get your information here or on any of the Whole30 social media channels.

JanellaR Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yes, I've learned my lesson and am leaving that group! At least I have a skeptical nature, and don't believe everything I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ya those items don't have the fructose load that standard fruit has, but I think a person would still benefit from leaning more towards broccoli, spinach, & zucchini. Cucumber is a pretty "meh" veg, kinda like celery, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
