i am stuck with my weight loss since 2 weeks now, someone recommended less fruit, cuz of the sugars. well i tracked my sugar now also, and see... i m supposed to have 25, but have 90 today!!! OMG!
on the other hand, i dont understand weight watchers then. they have unlimited fruit, right? weird!

since i dont like veggies that much, any suggestions on low sugar fruit?

    Pretty much all berries. Most of the rest are higher sugar.

    Check different types of apples. They have varying amounts of sugar in them.

    grapefruit! its good for weightloss too!;) its not that low on sugar but has a low glycemic index score which balances your blood sugar!

    A naturopath once told me that fruit grown in tropical areas has higher sugar than fruit grown in northern climates. More sun = more sugar.

    So apples, pears, plums, blueberries, any northern berries really, anything that grows in cooler areas tends to be lower in sugar.

    I'm really in love with strawberries these days! Strawberries and raspberries both go really nicely with my greek yogurt on top of whole wheat crepes for breakfast.

    I do Atkins and they say Strawberries, blueberries and cantaloupe are low sugar but if you are doing weight watchers, why are you concerned with sugars? Aren't you supposed to track points? Or are you just trying to do something to kick start your Weightloss again? If that's the case and you are watching calories, you may want to increase your caloric intake for awhile to boost your metabolism.

    This discusses the whole Weight Watchers unlimited fruit thing. Obviously fruit isn't bad for you....Its not going to make you fat...but it can slow down weight loss because of how high in sugar/carbs. I have cut fruits out of my diet right now until I'm done losing. I will reintroduce them during maintenance.

    My biggest suggestion would be to get yourself used to eating vegetables. A lot of it has to do with preparation. Just experiment. You'll find things that you like. :smile:

    thanks guys, i m not doing WW, just my own thing. i was looking to be around 1200 and 1500 calories a day. and after a wonderful first week of weight los, i am stuck ever since (since 2 weeks now) thats why i was watching out for sugars. and i love strawberrys, just thought they had a lot of sugar.

    and angelams, thanks for the link, very helpful, maybe thats what keeps me from loosing weight. but fruit i eat is either strawberrys, apples, banana, tangerines or grapes. plus i count the fruit calories into my plan too...

    This is why i stopped WW.

    I eat a lot of fruit now, but back then it was a massive overload, and wasn't held accountable for binging.

    Not that it matters imo. Its fruit. Low Sugar, High Sugar, its still better for you than pretty much anything else with Sugar added.

    I like mandarins (cuties, clementines, tiny oranges, w/e you'd like to call them). A serving size is 2, and it has 14 grams of sugar overall. I get these at Trader Joe's, if you have one.. or you can pretty much get them anywhere. A perfect sized serving, for me anyway! Good luck!

    If you're concerned about your sugar, have you thought about portioning out your fruit? For example: instead of a whole banana, have about 1.5 ounces of it which is about half of a medium sized banana. Or clementines? They are so juicy and yummy.. You can just peel them and eat half or how many halves you want. Sooo good. I cancelled WW. It just wasn't working for me. I found it to be a waste of money. If anything MFP has helped me and it's free and I didn't have to waste my money doing so.

    it doesn't matter. Eat whatever fruits you want that fit into your macro targets.

    chrisdavey, i am having a plateau. 3 weeks total of a diet. 1 week lost 9 lbs, week 2 and 3 just stuck, and i try to figure out why. i thought maybe the high sugars in fruit?! calories stay around 1300 each day.

    whoever gave you this advice should be ignored on all issues concerning weight loss and fitness
