Ditching bagels and pasta on your low-carb diet [1] is a pretty good idea since they're made with refined flour, but forgoing all fruits? Not only will you miss out on the healthy nutrients and filling fiber that can help you consume fewer calories, but you'll feel completely sad. You don't have to live without that naturally sweet juiciness! Here's a list of low-carb fruits, all with 15 grams of carbs or less.
