Must I curtail the > fruit to lose weight? > I am having a really hard time with sugars myself, but if i use a little honey in baking or smoothies i don't seem to have any sugar cravings from that. I am substituting fruits for candy etc when I get a major sugar craving and feel that if I eat fruit, it is WAY better than if I were to give in to the candy bar impulse. I have very low self control with sugars only, so I know if I don't eat the fruit I will end up with the candy. But still, I am able to lose 2 pounds a week, of course, I would lose more if I could stay completely away from sugar!! I have had no problems at all with getting rid of grains etc.
