Ask the Fit Fem: Oh SH**, I mean SUGAR

Categories: Ask The Fit Fem | Tweet this!

Whaddddupppp Fit Fem’rs! I’ve got a great question for you this week! Ya ready??

I love love love love love love love love fruit. It helps me satiate my sweet tooth, and I just LOVE it… in any form. Dried, fresh, in a juice… but I am trying to lose some weight, and I know that I should be restricting my sugar intake. Is it more important to get the vitamins from fruit or do you think that the sugar may inhibit my weight loss. Is natural sugar really different than processed sugar?

Sugar dum dum dummmm, the dreaded sugar question!! A lot of experts say fruits and veggies are key to weight loss programs, and yea I agree. But you and I both know fruit is natural sugar.

No because fruit has so many vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber your body needs but be mindful of how much you are actually consuming.  And do your research and find which fruits have the most sugar.  Example - grapes! Yumm while super delicious they are among the sweetest and have the most natural sugar. So you want to lose weight?
