What is a good time to stop eating fruits (bc of sugar) and carbs throughout the day?
A good way to eat fruit throughout the day is to have it for your snacks. Most people have it anywhere from 2-3 times a day; they have one mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and sometimes a few hours after eating dinner. The problem with eating fruit is that you can actually eat too much of it. Learn to control your portion sizes. Have no more than 11 to 15 gs or raspberries to snack on. Instead of having a really big orange, cut the orange in half and save the rest for later or find smaller oranges to eat (you can do the same with other fruits that sometimes are extra large). Have a cup of diced melon (doesn't matter what kind) in stead of cutting a really big piece. You can also substitute a portion of fruit for one carbohydrate of every meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) that you have. Too much fruit (too big of portions) can cause blood sugars to spike in anyone and cause you to feel tired and sluggish.
