Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006Apples?
Hi there, I know that apples have quite a lot of carbs but are they good or bad or neutral? :) I really love apples and well is eating an apple a day a problem when doing lowcarb? Are there differences in suit and sour apples or does anyone know some sorts of apples with less carbs? I do low-carb not for loosing weight, just for health, trying to not get over 60-70g per day (lutz recommendation). Greetings, Daniel > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Daniel I think a medium apple averages 34 grams of carb, some of which is fiber. Why not just work it into your plan, maybe not eating the whole thing? Susan My thing is oranges. I've been eating blueberries, strawberries and raspberries with abandon since starting LC over a year ago, but I miss oranges. I'm just so fearful of high-carb foods these days. I must like being skinny. > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Susan I've eaten a couple of oranges lately, a medium one has 22 net carbs, that certainly can fit into a 50 g/day program on occasion.

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, 4-5 servings of assorted low veggies must keep the whole profession in the poorhouse. ;^) As long as it fits in your quota, you don't have a problem with its glycemic load and you don't have any binge issues with them, all is well. If you are keeping a record of what you eat, you can experiment with fitting apples in. Just be mindful of them at first in case they cause some sort of negative consequence. -- > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Daniel > Hi there, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I do low-carb not for loosing weight, just for health, trying to not get > over 60-70g per day (lutz recommendation). I occasionally have half an apple (I try not to have more than 3 oz a day). As long as they fit into your budget for the day (and don't take up your ENTIRE budget), they aren't bad. I like to cut them up, mix them with plain yogurt from Trader Joe's, and add Splenda and cinnamon -- YUMMY!  SignatureSaffire 205/140/135-140 (aka JUST RIGHT!)

Oh, and a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla makes it a great breakfast. AS if I feel I need it. I'll usually have just a half of an apple or orange, even though my carb level is pretty high. I just wrap the remainder in plastic wrap and save for the next day. HG |
