[QUOTE="jopar, post: 272558, member: 11712"] I shall answer the OP question, keeping in mind that this is the Non Low Carb forum.. If you'll eating fruit, fruits such as grapes, oranges etc will hit the blood glucose pretty quickly as the sugar is contained in the juices... Fruits such as apples, small berries such as strawberries will be hit the system slower and generally lower in carb content... Another thing to watch out for, is dried fruit as these carry more carbs per portion that the fresh type... How much is too much, well really need to go by your meter, and items such as grapes etc might fair better if eaten with a protein such as cheese... Or a piece of fruit eaten after a main meal, where the meal slows the adsorption rate.. As to 5 a day, Well if somebody thinks that 500g of fruit and veg is about the correct weight, I'm afraid I've failed on that score.. But I'm not a big eater and do have a small appetite! [/QUOTE]
