Thoughts on apples..... Natural sugar is 28 grams....



Recommended Posts

Apples are an excellant fruit. I watch my Protein only and not sugar count. To me the benefits of the apple are better then a sugar count. I wouldn't worry as our diets are by nature low sugar.

I have no problem with including apples in my diet. I'd rather have the natural sugar and the overall benefits that fruit provide my body.

I love love love apples! I have been eating one of the single serve packs from wal mart every day for about 3 months, my only problem is that I am eating them with one of the Jif single serve reduced fat packs. I think I'm addicted!

Soooo I am focusing on carbs and fat and not so much natural sugar?? Just as long as I don't eat regular added sugar... Right now I'm looking at everything!!

I have trouble eating apples and applesauce. They're too acidic and don't feel good. I'm 4 weeks post op. Hopefully it'll get better. I miss fruit. Gonna try an orange tomorrow.

I eat 1/2 an apple cut into thin slices and dip it into my fruit dip (plain greek yogurt mixed with cinnamon, PB2 and a splenda packet).

I don't focus on Natural sugars at all. I do count sugars in other foods. Like my Protein Shakes, boxed food items.

Apples contain enough Fiber to offset the sugar contained in them. It's one of the better fruit options.

Apples = good

Apple juice = bad

I eat an apple a day. It keeps the doctor away. ;) seriously though i usually have one a day. I think there benefits out way the sugar content. They are healthy and have a good amount of Fiber to regulate that sugar. :))

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
