    I just completed my diary for the day and my total sugar grams were 11. It is possible! Don't eat processed food - chose plain yogurt over flavored - and chose Greek Yogurt if you can - lower sugar overall (because it's strained) and more protein. Fruits lowest in sugar are generally berries. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries. Don't eat a boat load - but put a 1/4 cup on your yogurt. Eat lean protein (eggs, fish, chicken, beef) and vegetables as your primary foods, with some healthy fats - nuts, avocado.

    BTW - I am under the advise of a nutritionist. Sugar does matter - whether it's from fruit or dairy. If you are trying to lose fat, you don't want to eat a lot of fruit (no more than one serving a day) and possibly cut out dairy all together. I'm dairy intolerant, so I have a bit of raw cheese only now and then. Max sugar grams as recommended by my nutritionist are 25 grams per day.


    I am so glad to see you post this. I have been trying to figure out what to do about my sugar because I know I can jumpstart my weight loss by eliminating a majority of my sugar which comes from milk. I crave milk constantly adnit is my main source of calcium.

    I'm surprised any nutritionist told you to eat Yoplait Light. It has like 10-15g of sugar alone! If you're concerned about losing weight, keep it as low as possible! Even if it comes from fruit.

    I am diabetic. I eat two servings of fruit a day and I eat greek yogurt. I know that I go over the 25 grams that is the limit on here. I do not have trouble with my diabetes if I eat fruit and yogurt , but I do have problems if I eat processed foods high in sugar.
