The fibre in the actual fruit means your body stops you consuming more than necessary as it fills you up. An experiment showed that if you drank a full glass of fresh orange juice you could have the sugar content of 10 oranges easily and in seconds, when subjects were then asked to eat 10 oranges they could only manage 2 or 3 at the very most without feeling so full they just couldn’t eat anymore. Eating unadulterated whole food and fruit will let your brain know when your body has had enough.
Also by eating the whole fruit you are getting a plethora of other necessary vitamins and minerals the body needs in recovery which are not present in sugar made to make cakes and sweets and junk food. Xx
