I've seen some talk about fruit lately and which ones are the "best". When I started the diet I only looked at the total carb count of everything, but as time went on I devised a way of "sorting" my food, especially fruit. The way I sorted the food was a method of my making that you may or may not agree with. I've posted it on the resources page here:

Let me know if it helps, basically I've ranked food by nutritionaly count verses carbohydrates that I would "spend" if I were to eat them. I used to list everything. I was so desperate to lose weight I would spend hours planning out how long I would have to diet and how much I would weigh on any given day if I stuck to the plan. So far the low carb diet is the only one that has come close to those plans.

Today is Amy's birthday! Ugh, I am not ready to admit that my daughter is 16 years old. I took her driving last night and it's just not fair how grown up she looks. We won't be having the party until Friday night. About 20 teens with a multi-colored theme, neon lights all over the backyard and me trying not to "get in the way". he he

Talk soon

- Many diets fail because of this. Fruit is not all it's hyped up to be. I'm working on the vegetable lists and I'm seeing many that have a fraction of the carbs the fruit has and much more nutritional value. The other big misconception is that 1 cup of fruit = 1 cup of fruit juice. Not so, this is considered "ultra fruit". Some has 10 times the carbs as the actual fruit and many have added sugar. I'll stick to my veggies and an occassional piece of fruit. I'm glad you liked the tables! (NT) -- Shara, 11:21:12 07/25/02 Thu
  - Fruit juice = all of the carbs & none of the fiber (NT) -- Kel, 19:49:46 07/25/02 Thu
    - Actually it's more than "all of the carbs" anyone who has ever made juice knows that for the same volume you have to use maybe 5 or 6 of the fruits (if not more) for one glass of juice. Of course most juices you buy in stores have water and corn syrup or sugar added to them. (NT) -- Sherry, 22:09:20 07/25/02 Thu
