Fruit carbs cause white carb cravings?
Ruby,
I started at 262 I am 5'8'' and weigh 145. I started exercising 6 weeks post op both weigh training and cardio. Other than missing my workouts due to surgery I've made sure that the gym and following the life time eating plan became a way of life i.e., not something to fudge with. Fruits and veggies are what I consider a freebie in the eating plan.

I don't get simple carb cravings at all with fruit...But give me one little flipping bite size brownie or something and Fugitaboutit...I'm lost! Then I'm standing at the pantry or fridge every commercial at night....
Plus eating fruit on a rgular basis, makes anything with sugar taste sickening sweet and I don't want it at all! I think grapefruit is sweet...and before surgery I drowned my grapefruit in sugar...But that's me!

I firmly believe nobody got morbidly obese eating apples. If you eat fruit, have a craving, and eat more fruit I don't see the harm. What are talking, 5-6 apples a day?
That said, there are some warnings WRT to fruit:
Juice is not fruit
Raisins are not grapes
Apple Pie is not fruit
Sherbet is not fruit
You get the idea! :)
I also would like to respectfully point out that popcorn is a whole grain, not a "white carb" even tho, I guess, it looks white.
