Sugar sugar

martinc1979

i am having difficulty with my sugar count! I am over my count for the day after breakfast!!! Is it more important to keep the fat levels down and not worry so much about fruit sugars? I refuse to use artificial sweeteners for anything as they are worse for you than even refined sugar, so brown unrefined it is, but still, I think some of the intake allowances are a bit crazy... Or is that just me???

Thanks for any advice...

Most everything I've read says to ignore sugars in fruit and milk. I let myself go over by the amount that's in my fruit without worrying about it. Or else I would never get to eat fruit, which is not healthy either.

It's most refined sugars you should worry about. I did realize that I have to stay away from otherwise "healthy" foods like yogurt (not that I was that big a fan of yogurt anyway, so that wasn't a big sacrifice).

But if you're just starting out: don't worry about doing everything perfectly all at once. Just remember how much better you ARE eating than you WERE eating.

All sugar is still sugar, although refined sugar is the sugar you should really be looking out for. I try to keep my sugar levels pretty low, sugars of any type.

If you need to adjust yout amounts do that. I did to account for 2 pieces o fruit with 11-15 g sugar in them. That is about what you should have a day 2 servings of fruit and 5 or more veggies. Fruit is healthy for you has fiber and vitamins you do need some. Good luck
