Which is better for breakfast?

Would you be surprised to know that a cup of white grapes contains MORE sugar than a medium glazed donut?
If you are limiting sugar remember fruit like grapes contain alot of natural sugars and very little fiber. You should consider selecting fruits with better sugar to fiber ratios. The more fiber in the fruit the less the sugar impact on your glucose and insulin levels

Sugar is sugar..whether it's natural or refined..

I switched to eating Belvita 4 hour energy cookies for breakfast and have lost 15lbs. Could just be a coincidence too.

Eggs and bacon are still good for you.

 

[benenglish]

Yeah. I knew that. I remember explaining to someone that grapes, as natural, unprocessed, and tasty as they are, are just little sacks of sugar water.

I really shouldn't eat any fruit but I love 'em all.

Most fruits are nothing more than natural sugars. And @vmax is correct, sugar is sugar and you bidy makes no distinction where that sugar come from when processing it in your body.

I have a friend who lost 110lbs (She's around 5' tall) and she became a fitness coach. One of the things she told me about is pineapple. It has a chemical in it that attacks fat cells in food and prevents it from metabolizing. It also is a prebiotic, so it feeds your probiotics in your gut. The healthier your gut is, the better your whole body operates, and also reduces illness.

EDIT - I forgot to mention that she eats some pineapple about 30 minutes before eating a meal.

I buy it often. Kroger has it already cut up.

Yes. It's why people who struggle with weight are told the wrong things to eat. Fruits and potatoes then people ask why they are still overweight.

Often your body just needs basics. meats, water, some cheese, pink sea salt, peppers are good. Most of the countries food supply is sugar in some form.

 

[Nicholst55]

So.......... donuts or pineapple????????? I vote donuts.

 

[baboon]

Most of what America eats is just over process crap. Corn is evil its in most things in some form. I almost bought a couple pineapples today then I thought about cutting it up & coring it, more mess then I need right now in my life.

Pineapple contains a lot of natural fiber which is a good and is prebiotic

Your gut bacteria feeds on the fiber
The fiber also creates a lining in your gut that Shields your gut from some sugars being absorbed

Any type of fermented foods are also very good prebiotics for your gut : edit like kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut and even apple cider vinegar

Un processed pineapple is a one ingredient foods, one of mother natures foods full of good things, fewer ingredients the better.

If you're doing low carb, good way to count fructose for a low carb diet is to use total carbs, not net carbs (total minus fiber) to keep count of daily intake honest.

So, beer and whiskey are healthy?

I have cut out most potatoes and breads out of my daily diet. I have a couple of cheat days out of the week and indulge those desires, but I made some big adjustments a couple of months ago. I think if you allow yourself to indulge in those foods bad for you occasionally, you can achieve the goal you're looking for much easier. Or even just weaning off them slowly, rather than just immediately dropping them altogether.
