Newbie with a question
For my diet, my fruits of choice are pears and apples. I know both
are higher in carbs than other fruit but I like them for the fiber and they're easier to digest. I usually eat them peeled so does peeling them lower my carb and fiber intake? Thanks, Jaqui |

Peeling would lower the fiber, but probably not make a dent in the sugar carbs. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

I usually eat them peeled so does peeling
them lower my carb and fiber intake? I don't know for sure, but my instinct tells me that if you remove the peels, you are removing most of the fiber. The fiber would *lower* the carb count, so you'd be better off leaving the peels (skin) on the apples and pears. Someone else will address this with more authority than I can, I'm sure. - Anne |

... I usually eat them peeled so does peeling them lower my carb and fiber intake? I don't know for sure, but my instinct tells me that if you remove the peels, you are removing most of the fiber. A good portion of it, anyway. There's still some in the meat. The fiber would *lower* the carb count, Ah, no. Fiber is a carb too. Removing fiber would lower the count, but raise the glycemic level because there's nothing slowing down the absorption of fructose. Different kind of trade off there. Fiber never 'cancels out' carbs. It can slow the absorption down (but it doesn't stop it). so you'd be better off leaving the peels (skin) on the apples and pears. Definately. Someone else will address this with more authority than I can, I'm sure. You just need more practice at projecting to the back of the room. revek (someone remind me to tell that story sometime) |

Welllllll, since you asked , I was in WalMart a few months ago with my daughter, buying groceries. I had my trusty little pda (a visor deluxe, which means it was barely useful) which I casually tossed in the basket and walked away from-- about 20 feet. Contrary to appearances, I'm not completely stupid-- I had my eye on it the whole time. Up strolls a man in his 40's, nice looking fellow, wouldn't suspect a thing, and he picks it up quick as you please and keeps going, smooth as silk. It took me a full second to register exactly what had happened right before my eyes and then my instinct was to bark at the man in my motherly command voice HEY! (you know, the one you use on your kid when she's just about to bonk her sister on the head with a hammer). Apparently his mom trained him to respond without thinking because he whipped around with a particularly startled look on his face, saw me heading for him all crazy mad, and booked it around the fruit stand. And imediately came back and threw it in my basket with a seriously peeved expression. I had the whole bakery/veggie/fruit/deli section eyeballing him and he knew it. Caught red handed, he left the place like lightning and I never did take more than four steps in his direction before I lost him, it all happened that quick. My daughter tells me the whole place jumped two feet straight up in the air when I barked. I will never be nervous in public again.

"Qilt Kitty" wrote in message ... revek at talked on .... Ah, no. Fiber is a carb too. Removing fiber would lower the count, {snip} Fiber never 'cancels out' carbs. It can slow the absorption down (but it doesn't stop it). ??? It's not one we use. It takes a loooooong time to digest fiber. That is why ruminants chew the cud and cows inparticular (I have had no occasion to examine others) have another stomach. Okay .. Why do we subtract dietary fibre from the carb count then? To find out the amount that *does* have an impact on our blood sugar. I understood that the fibre has no impact on your calories - all the food I eat has no calories associated with the fibre Pretty much. Well, the calories are there, but as I said, we don't use them. and therefore some food producers presubtract out the fiber calories to make their products look 'diet' when they're not really. But that's not than what I said above though. Carbohydrate is a 'type' of calorie. Fiber is such a slow digesting version of carbohydrate that we pass it before we get anything out of it, which makes it excellent for scrubbing the intestines clean. Now I'm confused again You'll get there. revek |
