Fruit!!

I have been wanting to add some fruit to my diet. I was looking at the canned fruit and oh my the sugar. I know that I will not eat the full serving but still I thought fruit was suppose to be healthy. Anyways if I rinse cold water over the fruit before I eat it do you think that will reduce some of the sugar??? Please any suggestions you have would be appreciated. 

Angela, Use fresh or frozen fruits!!!!!!  evn if you wash the canned fruits the sugar already has had a chance to ferment into the fruit itself.  I too wanted fruits and I started with pears and if you chew real well it's very nummy. Troy

I have canned fruit all the time. I get the no sugar added variety and only have a tbsp of the fruit with my meal. I empty the can into a larger tupperware and each morning I spoon a tbsp out into a smaller one to bring with me to work. I have had peaches and pears so far. I've also done frozen berries in my protein shakes.

Hi Angela, I just started canned fruit this week.  I found Del Monte sugar free at Super Target in Burnsville.  The pears taste good and are easy on the pouch.  I also bought a can of sugar free peaches.  So far so good. Good Luck! Colleen

HIJACK!!! Holy Crap Colleen!!!! You are looking awesome!! Great new avatar pic!! It's so good to see your face

Thanks! So are you by the way!! I love love the new hair do!!!  Very cute!! Thanks! Colleen

Hijack again-wow!! great to see your face Colleen!!  you look super! see ya Saturday? hugs- lynn

I use the dole or del monte diced snack packs.  A cup of the fruit has 16 grams of sugar for the normal ones, or 10 grams of sugar for the lite ones.  I also rinse them with water to get the sugary juice off of them and they seem fine.   Good luck.... XXOO

Hi Angela- I started with the no sugar added applesauces-the little cups are more than enough for now, not too sweet and they hit the spot.  or try fresh/frozen fruits if the canned ones seem like they are too much sugar.  The great thing about the canned ones is they are easy-and they are soft!  don't be afraid to try a little-but remember to just take a bite and wait to see how it settles.  Hope you find something nummy!! hugs- lynn

Thanks everyone for your advice. I will give fruit a whril.  Have a great day!!
