Hi everyone,
I'm not following any specific diet regime, just watching my kcals, and am also not very aware of different diets out there but for those of you that are, i have a question for you: according to the diet regime that you are following, is eating fruit in the evening a no-no (because it is high in sugar)?

Lidecka, I am not sure about fruit in the eveining but the plan I follow, (Southbeach Diet) says it is best to eat fruit in the middle of the day. The reason being is that the neatural sugars in them can cause a small "sugar rush" and lead to cravings. My plan says it is best to not eat it in the mornings for that reason. Hope this helps you a bit. I would imagine that since you have a had a full day and your stomach isn't empty, the "sugar" effect may not be as bad later in the day or the evening. Hope I have helped you a little! Sorry for the ramble.

Geez, I hope not......watermelon is the only thing that gets me through the night! LOL! It is sweet enough to keep me away from chocolate when I get my Evening Sweet Tooth. I scoop out chunks with a melon baller and keep a whole bowl of them in the fridge, and just keep going back for a few pieces whenever a craving kicks in. I've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, so it seems to be working!

Too much of anything is not good for you; but in moderation it should be ok. I follow a strict low carb diet and fruit is not allowed at this point due to it's sugar content. But after my weigh-ins on Wednesday i usually eat watermelon!!!

i also do south beach..i'm still in phase 1..but was doing atkins.
when I ate fruit, i would only eat it as a snack between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner. after dinner snacks were usually sf jello, or a small amt of nuts...or a few cubes of cheese...or 2 celery stalks w/ low fat cream cheese or all natural peanut butter

wow...if fruit is that bad I'm in for it...That's almost all i eat for dinner a lot aside from salad...
