Sugar in fruit?

ummm well i guess it depends on you. sugar is sugar, i mean yes refined and artificial i worse but your body breaks down sugar the same way regardless. i love love love fruit but i only have it maybe once a week as a treat. we should reach for more veggies instead of fruit.

this is just my opinion^^

That goal seems way too low to me.

I just read another thread about sugars in fruits to answer my own questions. I tend to eat 3 pieces of fruit a day and usually end the day with between 80 and 100 grams of sugars. And, not eating fruit is just not an option, I love it. The suggestions I read said that you really don't need to pay attention to that column unless you are diabetic or advised by your doctor to maintain a low sugar diet. You could either delete that column on your diary view so you don't have to see it (maybe track your carbs, which are fiber and sugars, instead) If you like having your sugars under surveillance you could go through your day and subtract your fruit sugars from that total so you know what added sugars your getting in everything else you're eating.

I deleted my column today. I have researched this a lot and have come to the conclusion that the sugars in the fruit I'm eating is not going to cause me to gain weight.

Good luck And, enjoy the fruit without worry about your total sugars!
