Every day I end up way over my sugar goal because of all the fruit I eat. How much will this deter my weight loss? Should I cut back on fruit, or is it healthy sugar that I can still eat? What about fruit juice?
Any wisdom? :)
thanks

    OP, I would try to avoid fruit juices and fruit drinks which can easily push you over your sugar level and don't contain dietary fibre. Stay off the dried fruit, too -plenty of fibre but very high in sugar.

    Two fruit portions a day is generally considered to be a good goal but most diets contain a free calorie allowance which you could spend on a third piece of fruit.

    Some vegetables have a pleasant sweet taste -cherry tomatoes for example .
