Grape Tomatoes

[lasst10]

Sadly, I think that Grape Tomatoes may be a sugar trigger for me. :no

I had these as part of my diet last week, and they've brought on sweet cravings. I know they are higher in sugar than other tomatoes, so I've only limited my daily intake to 1/4 cup, but I think that these cannot be a regular part of my diet, no matter how small the serving. Maybe once in a while, but not regularly.

Congratulations on finding a trigger food! Tomatoes are one of those iffy vegies, with them technically being a fruit and higher in sugars than the basic veggies.

I have a feeling that red peppers will also fall into that category for me too.

I read an agricultural bulletin over a year ago about those grape tomatoes....Something to the effect that the grape tomatoes are bred to contain as much sugar as a regular sized tomato, which is why I try to avoid them.

But again, congrats on finding a trigger food. Tomatoes and eggplant are my downfall because if I eat them too frequently I over eat other foods. So I'm very careful about them.

And you know, they are tasting MUCH sweeter than before, what you all have been posting about some foods tasting much sweeter since being on Atkins...

I love em.. I limit myself to 5 in a salad, and don't eat them everyday. They don't seem to be a trigger for me.
