Nancy, I'm so glad you posted this to the group!

For weight loss, natural sugar is a great thing to watch and monitor. The topic of fruit and weight loss has been controversial for a long time and it's important to note both of the benefits of fruit and why it can hinder weight loss.

Fresh fruit is a healthy choice and loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. Additionally, fruit is full of fiber which helps you feel fuller longer. As far as weight loss is concerned, fruit still contains calories and carbohydrates. If these things aren't tracked and are over consumed, your weight loss progress might slow or stop.

If weight loss is your goal, follow Nancy's advice in limiting fruit intake, without cutting it out completely.
