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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
