Generally speaking you only eat fruit from the time you wake up until you eat dinner? Do you ever get the feeling you're getting too much sugar in your system

Generally speaking you only eat fruit from the time you wake up until you eat dinner?
Do you ever get the feeling you're getting too much sugar in your system from it? I'm not saying it contains too much sugar, because I don't know. I'm genuinely curious. Some days I'll brew up a smoothie for lunch which contains a ton of fruit, some oatmeal, milk and a nut butter; I really like it, but someone who knows way more about nutrition than me mentioned that it might have an unhealthy amount of sugar (I'm not adding any, she was just referring to the quantity of fruit).

No. I guess I forgot to mention 2 pretty important things: I exercise every day, usually before I eat anything, and I never eat anything else with fruit. Uncombined fruit is a very clean burning fuel; its sugar only becomes a problem when combined with other more slowly digested food. "someone who knows way more about nutrition than me" Sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm no expert on nutrition, but I know that this guy is: http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Live-Revolutionary-Formula-Sustained/dp/0316735507/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242576980&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Live-Revolutionary-Formula-Sustain... so (most of the time) I do what he says. This is also my favorite programming book. You're not going to write much good code if you're not well.
