fruits
Depends which version of low-carb you're doing, and which fruits in particular. The short answer is that your body can't tell the difference between fructose and sucrose (table sugar). Fructose is absorbed more slowly, but to your body cells, sugar is sugar (the same goes for starches, by the way).
Atkins allows small amounts of berries, which have lower sugar than other fruits. The Zone allows some fruits, and CAD does too (but only at Reward Meals).
I suggest reading the books - whichever one is appropriate to the plan you're on. If you don't want to buy them, they should be in your local library.
