...Apparently there's 9g of sugar in a medium raw onion..I had NO IDEA, and have been eating two large onions a day! Oh man...do I feel like an idiot now....

Peace.

There is nothing wrong with onions. Please look at the Fibrous Veggies post in the sticky. Onions are mostly water.

But 9 grams of sugar in every onion???

Peace.

Whatever and how much fiber. Your are taking the no sugar thing a little overboard here. If its a fibrous veggie then its full of fiber and its nothing to worry about.

Yeah but see, I've been using onions in what are supposed to be protein and fat only meals....which kind of defeats the purpose, as I thought they were close to zero calorie/ I could eat as much as I wanted...

Peace.

Who eats a whole onion in a sitting though. There are sweet onions by the way, wonder if they are worse.

Onions are a veggie, so eat it when you are to eat your veggies.

I actually eat up to two or three onions in one sitting...I use smaller cooking ones, though, not the huge Vidalia type ones...

Peace.

Don't even worry about it. Onions are nutritional and offer a ton of vitamens. You are not likely to get insulin response from eating onions.

IMO, Simple sugers should be avoided but veggies should be included as a balansed diet.

Should I count them in my total carb count, though?

Peace.

If it has carbs I sure would. I do love onions myself, goes great on meats, but I can live without it.

Usually I count everything in my carb count and then subtract the fiber out. I really wouldn't worry too much about it though.
