I am trying to get together my shopping list for a Low GL foods. But my problem is what fruits to pick. Some of the fruits listed as Low or Med. GL are on the NO NO list for high carbs.

I only plan on about 3 servings of fruits because I am trying to cut back on my sugar. SO, which would you choose?

I have just finished "The Glycemic Index for Dummies" so I am sure this is the diet change I want. And the more I thought about it, as a child, it was the diet I ate, with one difference being we only had strawberries as a treat.

Thanks for the info.

    My "go to" fruits are apples and bananas, but I also love berries.

    This may help.

    I eat a banana a day.

    It keeps the doctor away.

    I really do not eat a lot of fruits. Not on purpose or anything, but I really prefer vegetables.

    I have maybe 1-3 pieces of fruit per day...probably not a full serving though... I eat oranges, bananas, plums, apples, blackberries, raspberries, mango, etc. I pretty much like every fruit except cantaloupe, pears and strawberries (yuck...lol).

    Dr. Oz suggested low fat rocotta cheese with apples slices, delicious if you like both items.

    Blueberries, apples, oranges and grapefruits. I also love cherries and grapes when in season. And I am a big fan of dried apricots and prunes.

    Thanks for the replies. It seems Berries, Grapes, Apples, and Oranges are what most said. A few said Bananas but I would have to eat them greenish because the are very sugary when they get older.
