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).

One of my favorite Snacks is a 1/2 apple and slice of (Tillamook) cheddar cheese... yummy!

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. :))

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
