in Introduce Yourself
hi i was wondering if somebody could tell me if its bad to have your daily intake of calories perfect but the sugar level always more, for example iam allow to have 1300 calories as my daily intake, iam usually really good and always take about 1250 calories, to 1300 calories and never go over this, but the problem is my over all sugar intake is always more, i tend to eat alot of fresh fruit so my in take is always more, is this bad and will it effect my weight loss, also how can i balance out the sugar level.
answers greatly appreciated..

    If you're getting all your sugar from fruits, it shouldn't affect your weight loss at all! You can even stop "tracking" sugar if it bothers you to always see the negative. I have the same problem, and it hasn't inhibited by weight loss at all.

    Natural sugars (like those in fruits and yogurt) are not bad. If you're getting sugar from those don't worry about it.

    ^^^Yes, sugar from fruits is natural so don't count that. Any sugar from processed foods, or anything else does count though....and sugar turns into fat. I tell myself that all the time so that I can be sure to watch my intake!

    If you and your doctor are worried about your sugar intake, try eating fresh veggies in place of some of your fruit. Whole carrots, broccoli, celery, spinach, grape tomatoes, and peas are my favorite. The natural sugar from fruit was starting to upset my stomach and give me lulls in my energy. I have about one fruit serving a day along with my daily vitamins and still have no problems with my vitamin levels (I have it tested about every 3 months).

    Good luck :)
