Hi Zophar, welcome aboard.

Generally, fruits that are lower in carbs and higher in fiber are acceptable with moderation, and it all depends on ho many carbs you lose weight on. This all depends on your body and metabolism as no there's no one answert that fits all :) Some low-carb plans are more tolerant to fruits than others. Have you read any low-carb book?

But which ones are low carb high fiber? Can i get a list or something similar? Because on average I eat like 8 servings of fruit a day and want to know what ones are helping/hurting.

I take my infor from the USDA database:

I rarely eat fruits, as I can eat 10 times the amount in veggies for the same carb count. On occasions when I really feel like it, I go for strawberries.

8 servings? This doesn't sound like low-carb, but I hope this link helps you. :)

Wa'il
