Dried fruit is a sweet, tasty, and moderately healthy alternative to the sweets I can't have during Lent. I love dried fruit.

I do not, however, love the side effects, and think I had better figure out some way to moderate my dried-fruit intake.

Can't you have plain fresh fruit? I find certain dried fruit are too sweet for my liking if eaten alone.

If all else fails, eat dried fruit with cereal and milk (or soy if you're lactose-intolerant). You'll still get the sweetness without mentioned side effects.

Sure, plain fresh fruit is good too! My only beef with it is the shelf life (and the fact that I can stuff a package of dried fruit in my bag and not have a gooshy mess all over my pens etc.). The thing with dried fruit, for me, is that it's sweet(er) and sticky, á la all the stuff I can't eat right now, so I can munch on it and not wreck my diet all that badly.

I have been cutting back on it since this post was made, due to aforementioned side effects. And it is good on cereal too. ^_^
