My daughter had a craving for apples and picked up a few in our local A&P.
If you want to cure a craving for apples, this apple will do it. Three of us in the family each tried slices of it and spit the taste out! I've never tried an apple with such an awful taste! 'Paulared' is what the sticker on it read. The bunnies in the back yard got the apples, I just hope we don't get attacked by irate sour-faced bunnies! JO NJ "Lorelei" wrote in message .net... "jk" wrote in message . net... I haven't eaten any fruit in 5 years, but I just started adding an occasional apple, with fine results. Anyone know which varieties are lowest in carbs, and highest in fiber, or are they basically the same? |

... 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. I've noticed similar things myself. I've been noticing that carb count matters less than the source of the carb. Good carbs like fruits and veggies don't normally kick me out of ketosis. However, all it seems to take is a tiny amount of an unhealthy carb (like sugar) and I'm out of ketosis and it messes with my progress. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |

I never said they were. And personally, I could care less how many
carbs an apple has... I eat one every day, and plan to continue until I'm 110. So nah, nah, nah! I fart in your general direction. (and don't give me any crap about this being a low carb news group!!) Stupid IBMers... To the original poster: (large) Granny Smith: 101 calories, 0g fat, 25.9g carbs Red Delicious 127 cal, 0 fat, 32.9g carb On Fri, 27 Aug 2004 01:30:37 GMT, "JC Der Koenig" wrote: Apples aren't low carb. -- You take stupid to a new level. -- MFW "Renegade5" 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).

You're just one more example of fat and stupid being inextricably linked.
