I cannot find anything published by Dr. McDougall or you about whether, if consuming an otherwise nutritionally-sound diet, foregoing the consumption of fruit is acceptable. If this question would be better addressed in another forum, kindly move it or let me know where I ought to post it.
Dr. McDougall recommends limiting fruit intake to three servings daily as it's easy to over-consume and contains fructose, "which, for some, causes triglycerides and cholesterol to rise. People with these conditions should limit fruits even more." For sensitive people, I believe he recommends limiting fruit to two servings daily.

What is your opinion on excluding fruit altogether? Is it a necessary part of a nutritious diet, and if so, what does it offer that can't be had from non-fruit plant foods?
Thank you.
