I must admit, this does me in as well! But I've decided that as long as i am under my calorie goal, and any extra sugars have come from fruit rather than chocloate, then the benefits outweigh the sugar, IYSWIM0

well i best stay away from those apples then! or else ill be turning into a human sugar cube!0

The fiber in any fruits help with the sugar. That's why whole raw fruit is better than juice.0

If you are not diabetic, don't worry if you go over because of fruit. If you are diabetic, you need to consult with your health care provider.0

Weight Watchers has stopped counting fruit into the daily counts. Fructose is better for you and the calories are insignificant. You should only be counting glucose as that is the "bad" sugar.0

I am the same way. As long as my sugar is from fruit, greek yogurt, etc then I just make sure I am under my calories.0

Keep in mind that all sugars are carbs but not all carbs are sugars
For example fiber is considered a carb but it doesn't count against your sugars

....That i can eat a small apple & all my sugar is almost used up for the day!...makes it almost impossible to stay under!0

my dietician told me not to worry about sugars from fruits, just keep added sugars to 30-35g per day. im go over on sugar alot because i do eat a lot of fruit normally0

I am over my sugar every day by a bunch because of all fresh and frozen fruit I eat. I don't worry about it since it is coming from natural sources. I just make sure I am not over that number because of processed sugars.0

Yes I hate that too. Also with bananas too. These are my two favorite fruits. I just ignore it because it's a healthy snack.0

MFP's recommendations are less than half of the Diabetic Association's recommended intake. Don't worry too much about it unless you are having insulin or sugar issues!0

I changed my sugar limit to 100 grams after reading some posts when I first arrived on scene at MFP. Like many others have suggested, just try to minimize the foods you consume that contain added sugars.0

Thats like those god awful riddles on tests: All rens are stempies, not all stempies are rens some are cardnals, some cardnals are rens. Are all rens cardnals?
REALLY?!?!? That mess is just wrong LOL
ps, dont bother answering cause hell if I know I just made it up as an example :happy:0 -
Exactly, you want to minimize any processed sugars but natural sugar in fruit and vegetables are your friend! But like anything in moderation, don't drink 2 liters of apple juice
But don't let this site or any other site tell you that you can't have healthy foods in your body.
