I have to be very careful with fruits, even something as innocent as, say,
raspberries. Even something this innocent can kick in carb cravings for me.
I kid you not!
I've also noticed that all fruit seems to burn my tongue now. What's the
deal? I even notice it with bananas. It's only slight, but it's there.
If I DO decide to eat a little fruit (emphasis on little), I eat it first,
then eat meat. This keeps the cravings away and keeps my blood sugar from
crashing.
An example. I was at an all-day musical affair today. At lunch, I had a
"taco salad" (greens, ground beef, peppers and a tiny bit of tomatoes, no
cheese or chips, of course) and a tiny bit of watermelon. We're talking,
oh, maybe 1/3 cup. About a half an hour later, I was yawning and about to
doze off as I tried to belt out a Bach motet. It only takes about 15g of
fruit carbs to knock me out. Dammit!
