Fruit/milk and dieting

Low carb diets and carb cycling.. my thoughts are against it.

Calories in vs calories out

Then when it comes to the food, eat good (low GI) carbs which includes a lot of fruits outside of bananas... Eat good fats (not much saturated or any trans fats.. have EFA's)

Milk is like gasoline to a bodybuilder, why sacrifice it?

"There has been a lot of hysteria about fruit for about the last 5 years or so. It is true that different carbohydrates are metabolized differently in the body, depending on their ring structure. The panic about fructose, which was then misapplied to fruit, arose out of research using mice and high fructose corn syrup. The concern about fruit, although based on some truths about the metabolism of fructose, is unfounded. High Fructose corn syrup is an extremely dense source of fructose. When consumed in the diet, it overloads the liver with glycogen, which then leads to insulin resistance and lipogenesis in that organ. Fruit, on the other hand, is neither calorie nor fructose dense. Fresh raw fruit is mostly water and fiber. One piece of fresh fruit has about 17 grams of carbs per serving with relatively insignificant amounts of fructose compared to high fructose corn syrup. So, don't worry about eating fresh raw fruit. But steer clear of anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. " - bryan Haycock

Does anyone know exactly how much glycogen the liver can hold compared to the amount ud find in fruit?
 
Ok from here http://www.looksmartwrestling.com/p....6170379

They give the different amounts of fructose/glucose different fruits contain. I cant find anything else on it.

Anyway apparently something like an orange contains 6 grams of fructose...so youd have to eat around 16 oranges to come close to filling up your liver glycogen stores.

So from what i can tell i dont see what the worry is
