I am on day 2 of my new healthier eating lifestyle........I am being good and marking down everything I eat and drink. However I am wondering if I am eating too much sugar and whether this will prevent weight loss.

My menu today was

apple, straw and melon with weight watchers yoghurt for breakfast

3 x salt and vinegar rice cakes, low fat jelly and 1 x meringue for lunch

Fruit salad and diet coke as a snack

thin steak, prawns and veg + 2 meringues for tea

I still have 200 calories left so will prob have a few biscuits before tea

anyone any views on whether this is too much sugar???

p.s. I know my lunch looks very small but I got up late so lunch and dinner were kind of together!!!

    All I know is that I don't need to eat any sugar today because I feel like I have had sugar shoved down my throat all morning.

    Stay away from sugar as much as possible. Sugar is the enemy. I love sugar myself so I know how hard it can be.

    if most of the sugar came from the fruit not a big deal, yogurt's sugar could perhaps be reduced with a brand change or cutting it with greek yogurt...
    I don't worry about what comes from my fruit, but added sugars yeah.

    ok am slightly confused by answers..............I take it from some of them that it is a yes too much sugar but by a lot or not? I assume this is better than eating chocolate bars etc?

    Yes! Fruit has sugar, but is full of vitamins and fiber. You get so much out of fruit that is amazing! Sugar is just a carbohydrate and nothing to fear.
