Apples?

Hi there,

I know that apples have quite a lot of carbs but are they good or bad or
neutral?

I really love apples and well is eating an apple a day a problem when
doing lowcarb? Are there differences in suit and sour apples or does
anyone know some sorts of apples with less carbs?

I do low-carb not for loosing weight, just for health, trying to not get
over 60-70g per day (lutz recommendation).

Greetings,

Daniel

I've eaten a couple of oranges lately, a medium one has 22 net carbs, that
certainly can fit into a 50 g/day program on occasion.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, 4-5 servings of assorted
low veggies must keep the whole profession in the poorhouse. ;^)

As long as it fits in your quota, you don't have a problem with its
glycemic load and you don't have any binge issues with them,
all is well.

If you are keeping a record of what you eat, you
can experiment with fitting apples in. Just be
mindful of them at first in case they cause some
sort of negative consequence.

I occasionally have half an apple (I try not to have more than 3 oz a
day). As long as they fit into your budget for the day (and don't take
up your ENTIRE budget), they aren't bad. I like to cut them up, mix
them with plain yogurt from Trader Joe's, and add Splenda and cinnamon
-- YUMMY!

I do that too, Saffire. Oh, and a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed
and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla makes it a great breakfast. AS if I
feel I need it.

I'll usually have just a half of an apple or orange, even though my
carb level is pretty high. I just wrap the remainder in plastic wrap
and save for the next day.
