[QUOTE="VitruvianDoc, post: 1534376, member: 13736"] Fruit is actually pretty high in sugar so its not that surprising. Why do you think dieticians tell you to avoid fruit juices even when they aren't enriched? From what I recall of my nutrition course last semester, apples are probably one of the best fruits you can eat. Even though they are high in sugar, its in a low glycemic index form which means it is converted from its complex carbohydrate form to glucose slowly and therefore doesn't cause a blood sugar spike and helps make you feel fuller longer. In order to keep you from feeling carb starved, pick up a basic dietician Glycemic Index book and refer to that. The lower the GI the better for you as it keeps you from spiking and all. My goal is to keep my net carbs under ~60 grams/day. This follows the atkins method of subtracting fiber amount from carbs. [/QUOTE]
