    Wrong wrong wrong HORRIBLE thing to think! Your body needs sugar and if you get it from clean foods then its more than great!

    I think your sarcasm meter is broken.

    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.

    I heard that weight watchers was doing this for fear of losing clients who were playing with numbers in order to get fruits in. It was a business move, not because they care anything about healthy vs less-healthy foods.

    Try the Five alive fruit puree.. The company that makes it is Via Viente..Its a fruit juice puree that gives you a whole days serving of fruits in 2 tablespoons and its only 15 calories..We and my wife take it..It tastes like eally strong grape juice. Its delicious.
  • You can go in and change your nutrition goals to allow more sugar. When you do that, everything will adjust to accommodate more sugar in your diet. You can also increase your fiber intake goals, which will offset the fructose somewhat.

    that's why I don't track sugar at all
    really all that I look at is that my cals are under and that I get enough protein and fiber

    I don't watch my sugar intake. I focus on getting enough protein, fiber, and calcium, (fiber and calcium are my 2 extras in my tracking - I'm especially concerned with calcium since I'm still breastfeeding and intend to get pregnant again in the not-so-distant future) and I completely ignore sugar and don't worry too much about carbs or fat. I love fruit and I'm not going to let 'too much sugar' get in the way of me enjoying it. If I had a specific health concern, I'd track sugar, but I don't so I don't. ;)

    Most people don't count natural sugars towards their total sugar count on here.

    At one point in time I was up to a 6 apple a day habit. I regret none of it.

    Dr. Oz said that beans have anti-sugar in them, and to eat 1/4 cup of beans per every 50 grams of sugar to cancel out the sugaration effect.

    Great advice! He also said to mix a little hcg in with the beans for optimal effectiveness.

    That sugaration effect gets me every time, gas and bloating. Glad to hear the Wizard of Oz is on top of this!
