How many grams of sugar is too much sugar?

 I just saw my dietitian and her rule is "8 is enough".  Always strive for less than that to avoid dumping and for healthy eating

that's going to vary from person to person.  If you mean how much will cause dumping, many people don't dump at all.  I am good with about 15 grams sugar.

It just depends on your plan and you. Mine says no more than 5. Plus I dump so even a little will make me sick.

I haven't "dumped" yet so I don't really have an answer of what my limit is. But I have had G2 and have had no problems with it.  My dr. even said I could have apple juice diluted with water (half and half). That didn't give me any trouble either.  It was on the menu in the hospital and I was so scared to drink it!

Keep in mind that not all "sugar" is created equal.  Most people can tolerate MUCH more natural sugar from fruit or from dairy products (e.g., yogurt) than processed sugar such as what would be added to something packaged. I don't dump until I have had a lot of sugar, but I can eat close to about 40g of sugar in fresh fruit and not have a problem but 20g in ice cream will make me nauseous and shaky.
