How to cut out more Sugar

dont need to track sugar too carefully unless you have a condition that requires it. just focus on the main macros fat, protein and carbs. enjoy the fruits and veggies but just cut down on added sugars like sugar you add into coffee, cakes, soda's, etc.

I also was amazed at the amount of sugar I ate. At first I was obsessed, trying to suss out every gram. This was not bad, because it helped me make some good trades and vary my diet. Eventually I stopped worrying too much about going over if it was mostly veggies and fruit. What helped the most was upping my protein over the MFP suggestion and cutting back on carbs.That helped with sugar craving and hunger. That said, some people swear by the low sugar even if it is fruit. I won't totally eliminate any food because there are benefits and drawbacks to all.I am not dieting, I am making nutritional choices. I am still new to MFP so perhaps others will have more specific advice. Good luck!

Eat less fruit and grains, eat more vegetables. You can get all of the same nutrition from vegetables as you can get from grains and fruit, just vary the kinds you are eating and think colourful

Oh God......

Unless you have a medical reason to monitor your sugar intake, don't worry about it.

This probably isn't even close to the full list. The question gets asked on the daily. Thanks for posting this though.

Eat less fruit and grains, eat more vegetables. You can get all of the same nutrition from vegetables as you can get from grains and fruit, just vary the kinds you are eating and think colourful

You won't get nearly the amount of fiber from vegetables as you get from grains and especially berries.

True, but you can get sufficient amounts from seeds and vegetables combined. As well, berries are a lower sugar fruit, so that could be included in eating less fruit in general.

In what world are naturally occurring sugars a problem for healthy people?

She asked how to reduce her sugar intake, so I gave her solutions. I'm not saying cut out fruit or sugars entirely. Nothing illogical about that...

Yep. No need to actually address the real issue that she's worrying about something she doesn't need to worry about. Big Help. Huge. You'll do well here.

There's no need to be rude. I happen to disagree that there's nothing to worry about so I chipped in my two cents. All I did was encourage her to eat more vegetables, that's hardly a detrimental comment.

Uninformed and ignorant = detrimental

Even the American Heart Association, which does recommend reducing sugars, makes an exception for naturally occurring sugars.

I know, I know, it's all "opinion," right? And all opinions are "special." FFS, this is why we can't have nice things . . .

I think you're taking this way out of proportion, I'll leave you to your anger.

Let's call in "amusement." I'm very entertained.
