Cheese and cottage cheese don't really have sugar, so choose low fat. Flavoured yogurt has high sugar content, so full fat will help with slowing sugar absorption. Cream doesn;t really have sugar, so stay low fat. Now, when you are switching to full fat dairy, you need to ensure you are not increasing your caloric intake beyond your requirements and start to gain weight. But, with all the sugar you are cutting out, you should be ok, but if you would prefer to stay low fat, then that is fine! Just don't stress, cut out all refined sugar and your in front! Dairy, full fat, low fat, it's not that important compared to how much caffeine you consume;)ha ha Ok so,

I admit I'm nervous about switching to full fat ...! I drink skim milk in tea & coffee ... should I switch? I normally have 1-2 coffees per day + 2-3 cups of tea (no lectures on caffeine please - sugar & alcohol is enough for the time being) If I check the sugar content on low-fat dairy options and if it's on-par with the full-fat version ... should I still be opting for the full fat version? do I use the same theory for cheese, cottage cheese & plain yoghurt? I've also been having berries with light cream occasionally for a treat .... should I cut that out? - I checked the sugar content on the cream and it was on par with the full fat version. aaaaargh! too hard! ok, thanks Troy …

Remember that milk is sugar and fat helps mellow out the affects of the sugar on your blood sugar levels, so I would prefer to make porridge with part water and part skim milk which will reduce your sugar intake and affects as opposed to all skim milk which will have a much greater affect on blood sugars. If you are worried about reducing your calcium intake, remember you can get calcium from green leafy veg, brocoli, some nuts, salmon, sardines etc. Hi Kirsty,

Tori, I honestly wouldn’t worry about the fruit thing. If you want to eat more fruit, that is ok. Focus on the other sugary things. But, make sure you have nuts with the fruit to mellow out the blood sugar. Nuts are not bad, they are good fat that is essential to our diet. If you are going to have it several times a day, just have about 8 nuts instead of 15:) Hi Geneieve, Check out the post on supplements.

I eat a lot of fruit (sometimes up to 4 pieces a day). Do I have to cut back? Are there particular fruits that are lower in sugar than others? Hi Troy – how hard and fast is the fruit limit?
