I 've been on here for about 2 months now and am completely obsessed with the site, but just recently in the past week or so have started noticing that I'm going over sugar. Mostly fruit and yogurt I think. Like just from breakfast today I'm already 7 grams over! Is this a big deal? How does this affect my weight loss? Any suggestions for good foods that are low in sugar? Also please feel free to comment on my food diary with tips and suggestions :) Thanks!

    if its from fruit, its natural sugar, its ok to go over that but if its other kinds of sugar, u may want to cut those out.

    I don't count the sugar in my fruit as sugar intake.

    Please don't take this in a bad way, but after looking at your food diary I don't think you are eating enough calories! Please do research on 'starvation mode'.

    If sugar or anything sugar' 'related' (corn syrup, etc.) is listed in the first five ingredients of a food, skip it altogether!

    I can also gain from too much fruit...my body hangs onto any kinds of carbs and my loss will slow dramatically from eating a lot of fruits... I have to keep to the low glycemic fruits and I do better with those.

    Keep track of that and make sure you are getting enough protein too.
