I was told I need to watch how much sugar I take in a day, or at least lower it. I am having a really hard time, heck I ate some grapes today and almost used my whole allotement of sugar in that one cup of grapes. I thought fruit was suppose to be good for you??? Any ideas? Also many grams of sugar a day should a person have?

    my dietician told me not to worry so much about fruit sugars, and just limit added sugars to ~30 grams

    Are u diabetic ? I know my weakness is sweats so i really dont even buy it no more but as far as sugar in fruit .. i dont pay that no attention .. i just try to eat like 5 x's a day and small portions with healthy foods. And if its not all healthy i still try to watch the portion size. Its hard i wont lie about that.

    If you are going to eat fruit, choose a fruit that is higher in fiber. You are still going to get the natural sugars. Also, avoid fruit juices. If you increase your fiber intake throughout the day you should see a difference in your sugar levels.
