Recent science damns fructose pretty strongly. Watch "Sugar: The Bitter Truth"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
It's a lecture explaining how our bodies process fructose differently from other sugars. Control your fructose intake and it will be easier to lose the weight. In the lecture it's recommended to only eat whole fruits, not juices or concentrates. Independently of my watching the video, hubby's doctor has told him to go off fruit juice and limit his fruit intake because his triglycerides were going up. You don't need to avoid fruit altogether but lean toward eating vegetables instead.0 -

Sodium is my demon. I love pickles and nuts.

No it sounds just right, you perv!0 -
If you want to lower the salt in salted nuts, but not affect the taste - you can get salted and unsalted and mix them together yourself. If they are like peanuts/cashews, etc that you eat by the handful rather than one by one, the effect is less noticeable than you might think, but helps cut back on extra sodium. You can start with a higher salted mix 75/25 and wean yourself down so your palate adjusts.
I hate pickles, so I have no advice there, lol.0 -
I stopped tracking my sugar altogether because I became really paranoid about it when really the only thing making me go over was fruit.0

I agree with you, the fruits from sugar are natural, you do not have to worry about that. It does make it hard to keep track of accurately on this sometimes.0
