I suppose I could be the poster boy for insulin resistance, but
for some reason fruit just doesn't push my buttons. My "trigger"
carbs have never been sweet. I am satisfied with small amounts
of fruit.

What all this shows very clearly is that for many of us, at
least, weight loss is not simply about removing neolithic or
industrial foods from the diet. This is an important step, but
it is not the whole story. If it were, it wouldn't matter about
fruit, nuts, carb levels, calories, and so on.
