Ok I finally hit my goals today on calories and everything except sugars. I have been eating lots of fruit but now I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Are sugars from fruits ok or not? Im eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies along with a few higher calorie things along the way. I keep fighting to even get in all my calories. Any suggestions anybody?

    I generally only worry about processed sugars and very sugary fruits. Some fruits are better for us than others.

    Your body doesn't know whether the sugar you put into it comes from a fruit or a cookie or a sugar bowl; however, fruit is obviously much healthier than a cookie. :) So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Well the truth is is that fruit is good for you but bad if eating alot and in the later half of the day. I love grapes and the same haps to me. I was told by a professional to eat fruit in morn and lunch but not afternoon if possible. It is natural sugar but it is still sugar which is also carb and also adds up quickly....unfortunately!

    Ty so much for your input on this. I tried dieting before where i filled myself with fruits and veggies mainly and didn't realize that I was really getting to much sugar. I just assumed that fruit was good, the more the better. I'm still learning about this whole process.

    I don't watch my sugar anymore because I eat at least 3 different types of fruit a day & I've cut right back on sugar in other forms.

    I'm losing weight & am healthy so I must be dong something right :)

    I wouldn't worry about the sugars in fruit. I've always ate A LOT of it (it's 90%-98% of my intake most days) and it's never affected my weight loss.
