Do I need fruit?

[KellyWho]

I've never been much of a fruit eater.  In the past, I'd usually try to make myself eat a piece of fruit with breakfast because I figured I should have some in my diet (usually half a grapefruit, berries if they're in season, or grapes).  However as much as Whole30 encourages you to limit your fruit intake, I'm wondering if I need to bother if I don't really crave it?  I'm a huge veggie lover, and I've really enjoyed Whole30's encouragement to work more veggies into my breakfast, so now I'm getting several servings at each meal.  I'm just wondering whether I need fruit or if I'll be missing out on essential health by skipping it.

 

For what it's worth, I'm on day 4 so maybe I'll start craving it spontaneously in coming weeks.

Not eating fruit is perfectly fine. There is not one single thing you get from fruit that you cannot get in more abundance in one vegetable or another except sugar.
