I'm not familiar with the "no naked carbs" diet, but it makes sense to me to eat the sweeter foods after a meal to delay absorption and glycemic spikes. That said, I don't think that protein is necessarily the best companion for sweeter foods, unless it's something like nuts that contain both protein and a healthy fat. Keep in mind that when you eat a whole fruit, you are also consuming fiber, which slows absorption and can have the same effect as eating protein or fat. The fiber also feeds your gut microbes, which is where 70% of your immunity takes place. A healthy gut = a healthy human being.
I am aware that fruits do contain natural sugar. Maybe I should have stated that these recipes are good because they have no ADDED sugar. The following quote is from Healthline.com:
"Many people now believe that because added sugars can potentially have negative effects, the same must apply to fruits, which also contain fructose.
However, this is a misconception. Fructose is harmful only in large amounts, and it’s difficult to get excessive amounts of fructose from fruit. For most people, the amount of sugar in fruit is safe to eat."
