Why all the sugar concern lately?

There is a sugar tracker now. I track my sugar out of curiosity, but I don't let it phase me too much, because fruit will put you over really fast. I actually pay attention to fat, fiber, protein and carbs.

It's a pattern I've seen here. Almost daily. Someone will post something about some controversial topic, which may or may not elicit a flame war, and 10 more threads get started on the same topic that day...seemingly unaware that the topic has been or is being discussed ad infinitum.

sugar tracking has always been there if you wanted to have it on your diary. For me it is important as i was recently told im pre diabetic

I agree, it's very hard to find food that is sugar free. Like you stated fresh fruit can put your sugar intake over the top.

I saw this today:

Try reducing your fruit to two servings a day and increase your lean meats and vegatables. Fruit options should be citrus, berries (all) and apples to avoid the high sugar ones like bananas. Stay away from white foods. You'll be fine. Some sweet tooth options to help is Skinny Cow candy bars. My wife and I will treat with one of those and a scoop of sugar free ice cream.

so avoid bananas but eat ice cream and candy bars

I track mine as I am type 2. If you're not, I wouldn't think it too huge of a concern. Fortunately I've never had too many problems with my sugar. Keeping fairly active really helps me keep it down.

trust me this had my head slammed on my desk xD

Im not sure about all the concerns lately. For me I track Sugar because I am diabetic but with that said I don't really pay attention to it as most of my sugars come from fruit and I usually stick to apples and berries with are low on the glycemic index. But I have it in my list to see where I am. But my monitor is the best measure for whats really going on inside my body. I added it for grins really.

Personally I think processed sugar is soooooooo bad for you....

Today for example, well last night, I ate a bar of Kelloggs fiber plus before I went to bed, as I was talking with my youngest and we had a naughty moment!! Ok I had 2...

Then went to bed at about 9pm, I get up at 5.30am but this morning I was up at half 2. In bed for an hour looking at the stars, trying to get back to sleep............ BUT NO......... I always sleep well, always have...

This has happened twice now in just over a week, both times I had a bar before bed...

Soooooooooooooo for me, personally I am not having any carbs after 3pm!!

I dont drink tea or coffee have not in years, the only hot drink I have is from the mint or lemon balm from my back garden!! xx
