I got over apple cravings really quickly when I did a blood sugar check after eating a medium-sized one. Major blood sugar spike.

Then I looked into them nutritionally which I had never done:

1 medium apple = 19 g sugar
1 tsp sugar = 4 g sugar
1 medium apple = just under 5 tsp of sugar

And when I looked at the sugar content of other fruit, it was equally depressing. I guess that's why it's called "nature's candy."

My big challenge will be with blueberry season coming.

1 C blueberries = 15 g sugar

I can still eat them, but in limited quantity, and it would be best to eat them after I've eaten a lot of fat and protein to slow down the sugar absorption.
