My name is Jessica Seymour and I put this website
together so that I could share my dieting experiences -
my "big name" diet plan ups & downs, including the good &
the bad - with anyone that might be interested in
benefiting from my learnings.

"diets" don't work. portion control & exercise work.

Not just portion control, but what food you choose to eat.
But the word "diet" did not originate to mean weird thing
you do to lose weight as with the sentence "Her diet is
comprised mostly of fruits and vegetables."

right. avoid anything preprocessed or highly sweetened
(especially if it's not sugar) or highly salted.
the idea of "dieting", as being eating or not eating certain
foods has been around for long enough that it's changed the
original meaning of the word.

But portion control is still the primary thing.

Is there something like "eating too many fruits" though? We eat lot of
fruits at home. I hear conflicting info about this.

Too many fruits can make for too many visits to the bathroom. Other than than
that, I don't think there is an issue. Maybe what you've heard is a reaction to
how some parents have been giving much fruit juice, adding many calories with
minimal benefit, when water does just as well.

I *have* known overweight people going about eating much fruit as a "healthy
alternative". Sure fruit is healthy, but part of a healthy diet is how much
intake there is. (A former regular here asked here to make a point "Did you
know you can get fat on healthy foods??". Well - of course!)
