Posted this elsewhere, should have posted it here to begin with.
I am following the 17 Day diet, I could not find the unsweetend Kefir that it calls for, the only thing at the store was Raspberry, so i got it. Now that i have made my Smoothie with unsweetend frozen berries and the Kefir, i saw that i passed my sugar limit, even here on my calorie conting Fitness pal. Can i do anything to off set the sugar i had?
I think i recall my old health and fitness instructor saying that when you excerise at fast pace, (unning instead of brisk walk, vigourous dance) your body starts burning down sugars instead of fats?
Anyone have any advice for me, wheter it be nutritional or excersice? Thanks!

I believe you are correct about the exercise comment but I am not totally sure. Also I tend to allow a little overage on sugar because natural sugars (like those from your berries) will break down much faster and more completely than processed sugars. It is the processed sugars that I try to limit to the count they have set here.0

I am not sure about the exercise either. But I also agree with Crazy 8s if it is a natural sugar I don't worry about it. It isn't processed foods.0

I am thinking that it was the Sugar in the Kefir, since i didnt get plain. I got a flavored one. Is this considered natural sugar?0
