Nothing at all to do with you, Ali, but it irritates me so much that they told you this.

Carbs=sugar as far as your body is concerned, and you would get so much more bang for your buck by eliminating cereal/bread/pasta/rice/potatoes instead of fruit. But they know that the average person just isn't going to do that. So instead they tell you to give up fruit, because lots of people will do that.
