    I plan to start today. Lots of veges and protein. Low carbs.
    Do not know if I should be cutting back on fruit because of the sugars. Thoughts?

    I'm starting today too. Not the first time I've started again but I figure if I keep trying I will get this right. :-)

    Good luck to everybody

    Way to go! Keep it up!! Remember that you are in charge of what you put in your mouth and you are going to accomplish this weight loss. Reward yourself when you feel it is needed and indulge yourself and share your success with those you love!!

    Unfortunately, MFP does not distinguish between natural sugars and processed sugars. There are no limits to the natural sugar levels you can/should eat. The sugar maximum is meant for processed sugars only.
    If your sugars are coming from natural sources (fruit) and if you have no medical condition that requires limiting natural sugars, you can ignore the sugar levels. Enjoy your fruit.


    Way to go, deselle22!!!
