Welcome back fruit!
Ah, fruit, food of my soul. How I have missed you.
4 pieces today, 3 oranges and an apple.
So that gives me 40g net carbs. That's fine with me.
Sure, fructose is handled differently in the body. And precisely because of that there is no uncontrolled blood sugar spike from eating whole fruits. Biological perfection. Mother nature at her best.
Fruit, fresh and wholesome - it is to be embraced not feared. We are biologically so well placed to deal with fruit.
Maybe I am not a dog after all, maybe I am a Gibbon. though I draw the line at insects...
Perhaps I am an Orangutan....?
My hairy father having long enough arms to touch his knees without bending is a clue :)

I am getting back into fruit as well. I love a crunchy, juicy apple.

Nice. We didn't manage to get through a our apples last year and we didn't store them well, so I just gad to throw out a load of our apples and buy more in - that's just wrong. But nice to have a crisp Braeburn....
I think the word 'fructose' which was synonymous with healthfulness has become misaligned and turned into the devil's food because of high fructose corn syrup. Eating an apple is not going to have the same effect on us as guzzling down HFCS, whatever the scaremongers say. Crunch away I say :)
How is storm Jake going on yp with you? Terrible here, lightning and very strong winds from the North. Ah, Spring has obviously sprung.....

Started as a lovely morning, but now the rain and sleet has arrived. Not too windy though.

I find when I am calorie counting some fruit is a problem. Although I love summer melons and berries and looking forward to seeing them soon :)

I gave up grapes, as I can munch my way through a kilo just like that and they are little bags of sugar..... apart from that I don't worry as I eat sensible portions. Ah - no banana, goves me terrible indigestion. Avocados OTOH I have every day. Sumemr melons and berries, lovely. I hope to remember to crop my raspberries this year..... Weather - bonkers isn't it?!!
