However, I can have a small amount of oatmeal or even 1/4 a cup of rice and do just fine. In fact, I had a serving of either of those for each meal when I was pregnant and only gained 23 and 29 pounds with my pregnancies and felt great with tons of energy (well...tons of energy for a pregnant lady!). No cravings or anything from it. Now...wheat is another story, but still doesn't seem to trigger the frenzied cravings that juice does for me. Also, I can eat a slice or two of an apple and I'm fine, which is kind of odd to me. Thank you for your input!

I can't do juices, either. I can do very small amounts of oats...not a real fan of rice, so never really tried that. And I am in agreement with the others that it is good to have some protein with any fruits other than berries....well, even with berries I normally have cream which helps balance the sugars. It really is a matter of paying attention to our bodies and doing what works best for us individually. I never would have done that had I not gone lc. I'd just still be overweight, sick and probably diabetic by now.
