Just a word of warning for anyone who has any blood sugar problems:
Melons and raisins can hit your blood sugar just like candy and cause very strong spikes. So if your low carb diet is working by evening out your blood sugar, you'd do best to stick with fruits that are lower in naturally occurring sugars. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 5 years.

Just an intersting observation that I don't know will hold true for everyone, but I'm doing Neaderthin and made the decision the other day to add more fruit to my diet. Yesterday I have 1/2 cup of cantelope, an apple, about 10 grapes and half a box of raisens along with my usual food (spread out evenly through the day). At the end of the day I was over 100 grams of carbs with 30 grams fiber and was still in ketosis. Usually when I went about 40 before, I was knocked out. Did the same thing today and still in ketosis.Don't know what this means, but I had avoided fruit for the past year and I welcome the change. I started LC at 190 last November and lost 30 lbs. by January. After staying at 160 for several months, I began adding fruit to my diet, since that is what I missed most during my weight loss period. I usually have fruit for lunch - 2 or 3 pieces. I eat pears, plums, apples, oranges, apricots - whatever I find that looks good. 2 larger pieces or 3 smaller pieces usually fill me up and I don't get hungry again for about 5 hours. Since I began eating fruit for dessert, a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a salad with meat and cheese for dinner, I've lost another 5 lbs. "RT" wrote in message om... I had a red apple today (probably my 3rd since Feb 1) and it was deeeeeee-lish-ussss. I'm thinking about adding one in every two or three days, and seeing if it affects my loss. I'm following the rule of Sugar Busters, which is to not eat it with meals but rather 1 hour before or 2-3 hours after. Richard 247/184/175 "Jim Marnott" wrote in message ...

I think that's right - Granny Smith's are the lowest in sugar...
however, bright red apples (such as Mac's) have a higher content of healthy, anti-cancer and disease-fighting, phytochemicals and flavanoids. The darker red, the better (from that perspective).
