Sugar in Fruit

I love eating all kinds of fruit but find that it makes me go quite a bit over my sugar allowance. Will this slow my weight loss down. Also, has anyone found any low sugar yoghurts that taste o.k?

From things I've read regarding sugar, naturally occurring sugars in fruit and dairy products aren't the ones that we have to worry about .... it's the 'added' sugars such as high fructose corn syrup, molasses, cane sugar, syrup, honey and fruit juice concentrates in processed foods that are the culprits.

Agreed.

I think it's the general consensus around here that anything from fruit is considered a "natural" sugar, therefore, it's not a big deal if it's coming from natural, plant derived sources.

The only lower sugar yogurts I've found are greek yogurt. I buy just plain, then add a handfull of berries to it.
