Hi John

Thanks for that it certainly does make life a little easier when you have a list though I thought some of the things on the list to avoid you could actually have.

I guess when it comes to vegetables it has to be common sense and small amounts

I love beetroot and have grown it for ages, so maybe I will have to stop doing that, I also thought sweet potatoes and bananas were ok.

Never mind

Thanks again for the list keep up the good work :-)

Kind regards

Debra

Hi John, David and fellow sugarfree peoples,

Firstly thank you John for the above table it's a great help. But I am a little confused.

I know that with anything there will be some foods that are better than others (as seen in the fruit charts etc in David's books) but I was kind of under the impression that pretty much all of the nuts were okay because of their large fibre contents and that they actually contain less sugar (and therefore fructose) that all of the fruits inn the list.... am i on the wrong track here? I am sure I read somewhere that David's fav snack was a handful of nuts... peanuts or almonds but in the list they are on the don't eat side... :(

And I kinda thought the same applied to pretty much all vegetables.... due to fibre content.... am I wrong again.... man that would be a bummer cause I am a vegie.

Also a question that I asked somewhere else on the sight was, if something has a low (3g or under per 100g) sugar content but has sugar listed in the ingredients panel is it okay to eat? I don't know what I should be doing about these products and it is making me crazy when I go shopping because at the moment I am staying away from them if there is sugar in the ingredients.... but if they are okay then yipppeeee there is more that i can eat... :)

Thanks for your help

Hi all,

I guess it's useful to have such a table, but I think it's going a little far by saying "AVOID". I think perhaps 'eat with caution' or something like that might be better. I take comfort in David's second book (page 111) where he says ....

"Like vegetables, there is no such thing as a bad nut. Some have more fructose than others but even the worst of them, from a fructose perspective, have huge amounts of fibre.:

It's about working out a healthy balance, and I'm sure David & his family still eat lots of veges (even ones in the 'avoid' category)??

I see John is suggesting when faced with a choice of which nuts and vegetables to eat there are some which are better than others, but as a general rule, I wouldn't include any nuts or vegetables in the avoid column ...

Cheers

David.

Fix that column and it's a perfect list- I've put one on the fridge to guide my family :)

The yoplat forme has artifical sweetners and fructose added. See link here for list of ingredients:

Nestle Diet has aspartame (not good for you)

I second the Aldi greek natural yoghurt. You can also make your own yoghurt using the easiyo and adding dextose or even adding dextrose to natural set yoghurt you buy off the shelf.
