Banannas and canteloupes are higher in sugar and if you are trying to get ripped you’ll want to eat very small amounts of these fruits, grapes too. But if you are trying to loose weight eating fruit is not going to slow your fat loss unless you eat a large amount

Eat lots of carrots!

Just remember, corn is a grain not a vegetable. Grapes, have a lot of sugar (so does wine, dieter beware)
