Slimmer and healthy is the goal, not slimmer and unhealthy. Cut out the added sugars and refined carbohydrates, but for actual health (not weight -- don't confuse the two), eat those fruits!

I was reluctant to get into detail therby hijacking my own thread. However, let me clarify. Both of us eat fruit on this diet. It's supervised by Quick Weight Loss Centers. There are offices all over the USA including San Diego, Tony.
All kinds of fruit are allowed --- except the banana! Except for the holidays, this is the regimen 7 days a week.
I personally eat fresh sour cherries or a banana at bkfst with cereal - no more gout. Dessert is one or 2 fresh Honeybell tangelos while they are available.
Lunch it's a cup of fresh blue berries and a yoghurt. I'm a b-berry addict.
Din-din it's broiled, grilled or roasted meat or fish with steamed fresh veggies.
No rice --- potato baked once a week (we split it), no bread or crackers.
I'm down 2 pant sizes and feeling gooder - a lot. Can we get back to Pisang Klotek now? Will post taste report when fruit ripen.
Dan the B'mal --- who is now down 2 pants sizes!!!
