the fibre in the whole fruit lowers the absorption of the sugars. I'm still eating pretty low carb although I've upped my fruit and vegetable selections. I also have a slice of whole wheat or rye toast every other day with my eggs. Christmas was a bit of a bitch for me because all of those tasty carbs that were around. I make my own salsa, which i put on everything, to keep my veggies up.
