Is it bad to eat too much fruit?

I think it's probably not a good idea to eat a lot of anything, if you're overlooking other foods. A balanced diet containing a variety of foods (Veggies, Grains, Fruits, Lean meats) is necessary for getting all the nutrients our bodies need to be healthy which then results in Fat-loss. However, fruits are great to eat when your body is craving sugar, or quick energy. Fruit is a far better choice than processed, junk or fake foods
