Fruits

I am so scared to try fresh fruit! I know it is silly but I just dont want to dump. I am very sensitive to sugar! Can yuo guys tell me what kind of fruit you have tried and how you did? Thanks so much! Maybe I will get brave and try some... I have been craving apples lately! Beth

I do great with watermelon and eat it all the time. I have only eaten pureed berries which are great on top of SF pudding. I have also tried cherries and they worked okay as well. I have not yet tried apples or oranges. Gwen

Thank you for the reply. I will try putting them on SF pudding! That sounds like a great dessert! Hey-How was the state fair? Beth

I just got back from the fair and did really well. I carried in my water so I would have that handy. I couldn't decide on anything because I didn't want to feel sick so I ended up just having little bites of whatever the people who were with me ordered. I even had a tiny bite of ice cream which I don't usually do. I had small bites of a pickle on a stick, a frozen banana on a stick, french fries and popcorn and a tiny bite of a chicken strip. I feel great and did not overdo as the bites were very tiny. The mini donuts sure looked good though!!! Gwen

I've tolerated all fruit very well... I love watermelon, cantaloupe, a bite of banana and with stuff like apples pineapples, grapes and papayas I will chew it up and spit the rough stuff out discretely...TMI I know but I have to have my fruit I am absolutely in love with it.

There's never TMI on here! Thanks for the info!! I think I will try some watermelon tomorrow, it seems to be a favorite around here! beth

Beth, you're not likely to dump from fruit. Don't be afraid. I had the same fear but my nutritionist said that our bodies can handle bigger amounts of natural sugar like those found in fruits. I have tried apples dipped in peanut butter ( a yummy snack), a couple bites of banana, watermelon (make sure you chew it up real well cause it wants to slide down as it is so juicy), canalope, cherries, peaches, and nectarines. The only one I had a problem with was watermelon because I didn't chew it long enough. (Not pretty) Girl, you are going to feel like you are in heaven the first time you try fruit. Enjoy!!!

Apples and pb!! That sounds like a good lunch. Thanks for the info! I will make sure to chew! Beth

So far I've only eaten apples and bananas with no problems, haven't tried anything else. I put half a banana in my chocolate protein shake (yummy stuff) and I've also mashed up half a banana in some cottage cheese and added a Splenda packet as breakfast. The apples, so far I just made homemade applesauce with, but I had no problems with it. I just made sure I got my protein in first, then if there is still room, I have a fruit or veggie (unless I can mix it in my protein like described above). Donna

OMG Donna! I didn't recognize you at first! WOW! Look at you! GO GIRL!! You look AWESOME!!! Thanks for the info.... you are always such a good girl.. I wish I always got my protein in. But I am working on it! Have a great holiday! beth
