Too Much Fruit?
I have been trying to eat healthier, so I have been substituting some of my normal snacks for fruits. But when I start eating them, I eat SOOO much fruit! Can eating too much fruit be bad for you in the long run? Like obviously you need fruit in your diet, but if you eat too much all the time can it cause you to gain weight or anything? Thanks in advance!

Everything will make you gain weight if you eat too much of it. Try to balance out your diet with vegetables as well instead of just fruits. A couple carrots and celery would be fine. Too much of anything, good or bad, will turn out bad for you. Dont forget to also enjoy yourself every now and then with some chocolate or some sugar- bursting food. Rarely, though!

Eating too much of ANYTHING can make you gain weight.Your problem is that since you totally canceled eating junk,you take it out on fruits.Thats better but it can make you gain weight.Look,in order to feel full,just drink 2 cups of water before eating fruits,then youll feel bloated.

Eating too much fruit can in fact make you gain weight, depending on the fruit fruits have lots of sugar. Yes it is better then candy and junk but it does have loads of sugar. Many diet plans have a rule of no fruit for the first while. So if you tend to eat alot at once I would make sure that you eat fruit only 2-3 times a week instead of every day.

Fruit is good for your diet but you will need some food in your body as well because there were a couple of people I knew that fainted because they only ate fruit or vegetables.Fruit won't cause you to gain weight that's the great thing and that it's very healthy.

I agree with the post below. I just wanted to add that it can of course make you gain weight. While not an unhealthy food, it does contain calories and this means that if you eat a lot in excess of what you burn, you will gain weight.
Even those foods that people regard as not being fattening will make you gain weight if you over eat. Theoretically you can get fat off celery if you eat enough of it.

As far as I am aware, no it can't cause any long term damage because fruits are filled with antioxidants which help to get rid of toxins in your body that can cause illness.
For example, although it is not a medically recommended treatment, some cancer sufferers (I remember watching a TV Documentary about one young girl on TV quite some time ago)live on purely fruit and vegetable diets, nothing else at all, as there have been rare cases where the cancer has subsequently disappeared after a length of time on this diet. While I would not recommend this to anyone, apparently it is possible.
Really, there is no major downside to eating a lot of fruit. It's considered to be Nature's Bounty for a reason and while consuming large amounts will somewhat loosen your bowel movements, ulitmately, it would be good for you.
