[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 360277, member: 3907"] \ My husband has also been on a low carb eating program for the last few years, and he successfully lost 225 lbs on it. Mary, when they say low sugar, they mean ALL sugar not just added sugar. Fortunately, berries are very low in sugar. Probably one of the best fruits you can choose. Especially as they are also high in anti-oxidants and other good-for-you things. Blue-, straw- or rasp-. All fit in with a low-carb, low sugar diet. The fruits to steer clear of at first are are grapes, pineapple, bananas and melons, especially watermelons. As you get used to being on a low-sugar program and you better learn what your body can and can't handle, you can gradually start adding these ones back in. If you're looking for a good reference, find a book on the Glycemic Index (G.I.) diet. It was a diet originally developed for people with diabetes, but it was found to successfully help people manage their weight too. It provides a chart at the beginning of the book with 3 columns. Red lists all of the thou-shalt-not foods, Yellow is all the eat-only-a-little-bit foods, and Green is all the have-at-'er foods. In thinking about your dilemma with the weight gain when you started moving around more, my first thought was muscle mass. Lean muscle mass weighs significantly more than fat, so if you're improving your muscle tone by walking and moving more, it might show up as a bit of extra weight on the scale. Trinity [/QUOTE]
