I would say the rotten ones are lowest in carbs - since after one bite you
throw the rest away! 🙂

I had a red apple today (probably my 3rd since Feb 1) and it was
deeeeeee-lish-ussss. I'm thinking about adding one in every two or three
days, and seeing if it affects my loss. I'm following the rule of Sugar
Busters, which is to not eat it with meals but rather 1 hour before or 2-3
hours after.

I believe that the differences between varieties are very, very small
compared to the total amounts of carbs and fiber, and compared to the
variation from fruit to fruit even within a variety because of the sizes of
individual fruits. I would just select whichever varieties I like from the
apples that look good and fresh at the store on the day I am shopping for
them. Indeed, that is what I do; I love apples and eat them often. I used
to be allergic to them but I recently discovered to my delight that the
allergy cleared up on its own.

I started LC at 190 last November and lost 30 lbs. by January. After
staying at 160 for several months, I began adding fruit to my diet, since
that is what I missed most during my weight loss period. I usually have
fruit for lunch - 2 or 3 pieces. I eat pears, plums, apples, oranges,
apricots - whatever I find that looks good. 2 larger pieces or 3 smaller
pieces usually fill me up and I don't get hungry again for about 5 hours.
Since I began eating fruit for dessert, a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and
a salad with meat and cheese for dinner, I've lost another 5 lbs.

Just an intersting observation that I don't know will hold true for everyone,
but I'm doing Neaderthin and made the decision the other day to add more fruit
to my diet. Yesterday I have 1/2 cup of cantelope, an apple, about 10 grapes
and half a box of raisens along with my usual food (spread out evenly through
the day). At the end of the day I was over 100 grams of carbs with 30 grams
fiber and was still in ketosis. Usually when I went about 40 before, I was
knocked out. Did the same thing today and still in ketosis.Don't know what this
means, but I had avoided fruit for the past year and I welcome the change.

Just a word of warning for anyone who has any blood sugar problems:

Melons and raisins can hit your blood sugar just like candy and cause very
strong spikes. So if your low carb diet is working by evening out your blood
sugar, you'd do best to stick with fruits that are lower in naturally
occurring sugars.

I think that's right - Granny Smith's are the lowest in sugar...
however, bright red apples (such as Mac's) have a higher content of
healthy, anti-cancer and disease-fighting, phytochemicals and
flavanoids. The darker red, the better (from that perspective).

I don't know, but as soon as the Honeycrisp apples hit the stores, I am
eating one per week until they are out of season. (locally grown here in
Minnesota)
Lori

My daughter had a craving for apples and picked up a few in our local A&P.
If you want to cure a craving for apples, this apple will do it. Three of us
in the family each tried slices of it and spit the taste out! I've never
tried an apple with such an awful taste! 'Paulared' is what the sticker on
it read.
The bunnies in the back yard got the apples, I just hope we don't get
attacked by irate sour-faced bunnies!

I've noticed similar things myself.
I've been noticing that carb count matters less than the source of the carb.
Good carbs like fruits and veggies don't normally kick me out of ketosis.

However, all it seems to take is a tiny amount of an unhealthy carb (like
sugar) and I'm out of ketosis and it messes with my progress.

I never said they were. And personally, I could care less how many
carbs an apple has... I eat one every day, and plan to continue until
I'm 110. So nah, nah, nah! I fart in your general direction.

You're just one more example of fat and stupid being inextricably linked.
