[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I understand why one pp is going off on OP. I think we can all agree that many adults that are trying to lose weight should not eat 10 bananas a day. However, restricting your elementary age child's intake of fruits because of some fad diet you are observing or that you read about online is not something most people would do. I am guessing OP did this as she thought fruit was contributing to her dd's weight gain, and that her intention was good, but misplaced and may have caused more trouble. All that fiber in fruits and veggies is good for our gut, so Dr. really did the right thing by saying what was the right way to eat in front of OP's dd who now realized that she can eat a lot of food that is healthy and was not "forbidden" from eating fruit.

Actually I never said I restricted fruit. I merely shared my general impulse to avoid certain fruits because of what I had casually absorbed from faddish diet media. My point was simply, if I had been left to my own devices and not given very specific advice, I would have done things differently. I would have tried to cut back portion sizes in general and would have tried to reduce simple sugary carbs. I assume a lot of Americans, like me, have absorbed that advice as the correct way to lose weight. [/quote]
