Adrienne asked... > >Why couldn't a person substitute some low-carb veggies with low-carb fruit >ie >berries?? Do you find that any fruit stalls fat loss? 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!
