Fruit. Thoughts please..

I planted 2 apple trees 30 years ago i love apples now i give them all away the same with most in ground
veggies as a result i have the best neighbors.

 

My DN told me to limit fruit - berries are best, but absolutely no bananas or grapes under any circumstances

I find these visual guides useful https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits

 

Yes, I tried a grape to see what would happen (note the singular) and it put me up to about 13. Never again.

 

I take a boiled egg

 

Hi Paul, stick to berries rather than bananas, satsumas or apples. Berries are lower in sugars and shouldn't spike you to the high heavens, while you can still get the sweet taste. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries. Add a bit of double cream and you have instant dessert! (Adding the cream may slow absorption of the sugars too)

 

If you're interested in fiber content of fruits, blackberries and pears are high in fiber.

 

i am t2 steroid induced and really struggling with the fruit thing before i ate lots of fruit and i mean up to 7 8 or more in fact i ate more fruit then anything.. but have to curb it and really not happy about it, mind you used to love jelly babies up until last year and had mega hypos and they kept saying eat jelly babies now i cant stand the lol

 

Remember that all the frit, and most veges have been bred to be higher in sugar and starch, so they are nothing like the ones found naturally - we'd have had to work a lot harder to accumulate the same amount of carbs by finding and picking it ourselves than to carry a punnet or net of modern fruit home from the supermarket.
