The Keto Diet has shown positive results time and time again. It is a tough lifestyle to live by, but if you can get through it the results are worth it.

Low carb diets generally tell you to stay away from fruits, but sometimes that is just not possible for people. Fruits are a huge part of my daily diet, but they are high in sugars and carbs. I did some research because I have been trying to lower my carb intake, but I have not committed to the Ketogenic Diet. Here are some fruits you should add to your diet if you're looking to limit carbs, as well as some fruits to avoid if you're looking to slash your carb intake.


Fruits to eat:

Watermelon. Watermelon is one of the least nutritious fruits because there is little fiber, glucose, and carbs. This is beneficial when craving a fruit because of the carb amount is so low.

Strawberries. Strawberries are one of the fruits with the lowest carbs, which is good news for me. Berries are known to be low in carbs compared to other kinds of fruits.

Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is another fruit that is low in carbs. These orange melons are also low in fructose, which is also beneficial when dieting.

Fruits to avoid:

On the other hand, some fruits that are extremely high in carbs are as follow.

Bananas. Bananas are the highest carb fruit there is. If you are on any kind of low carb diet bananas are your enemy. Stay away.

Apples. This is another sad one. Apples are high in both glucose and carbs so they are a recipe for dieting disaster.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
