Fresh Fruit?
How many of us are enjoying the multitude of fresh fruit this summer?? I have to say that I have! It worries me a little with the carbs, although I haven't gotten sick at all from it. Should I reserve it as a special treat, or is it ok to have some almost daily? I really enjoy my protein with some fresh strawberries or melon...mmmmm.....
I myself have some type of fruit everyday. I just finished some watermelon at my desk. I do fine with these natural sugars/carbs from fruit and not very good from any kind of cookie or that sort of sugar/carb. We just have to be careful not to have too many calories or I believe it will slow our loss.
I don't limit fresh fruits or veggies at all. As long as I'm getting my protein in, which I do easily, I eat all the fruits and veggies I want.

Same here, I refuse to limit myself when it comes to fresh fruit or veggies (unless they make me sick, which is the case with some raw veggies, like baby carrots). I consume massive amounts of watermelon during the summer, it's my absolute favorite fruit of all time and is good for helping keep you regular and hydrated.
Even though I am off insulin and all diabetes meds I still consider myself a diabetic so I limit fruit to a few grapes, one orange a day, and strawberries maybe once a week. It is definitely on the low side of my diet. I could be full on just strawberries and yogurt but I wouldn't get any protein in.
