It’s kinda tough avoiding sugar these days and we sometimes tend to consume more than we thought we did, all because of these “hidden sugar” we are not aware of..also thanks for sharing that site, really quite interesting..

I try to be sugar aware. When I was low carbing I didn’t eat fruit and think that was too far for me. I eat more fruit these days and try to be aware of the other sugar I am eating.

sugar…the bane of my existence…LOL

It is an eye opener to realize just how much is in the foods I eat…and have been eating for the last 35 years.

low carbing is avoiding sugar so I did a lot of it then, but now I try to avoid added sugars. I’m not militant about it, but I’m very cognizant.

It just shows how important it is to check the labels on products before you buy them – even ‘low fat’ foods can be loaded with sugar and it really is a blow to your empowerment if you make a bad choice – even if you don’t realise it until later. I bet your friends were really glad for your advice!

I try avoid sugar in my foods but do have a sweet or biscuit from time to time with sugar.
When I stopped sweetener due to Aspartame I used only brown sugar and gained weight, now back to sweetener without Aspartame and have lost the weight I gained due to sugar.
Its hard to cut it out completely, but where every possible I do.
I also eat dark chocolate instead of normal chocolate now…

Interesting Diane.

I knew that about the pasta sauce f.e.

I don’t use many “processed” foods like pasta sauce, most of the time I make it myself. I don’t watch all my sugar intake. I know it’s in cookies and that kind of stuff and I try to avoid that. But don’t watch it in my “normal” food.

I’m aware of it, sure, but since I try to eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods it isn’t a big deal when there is a little sugar in some of the (few) condiments and processed foods I eat daily. The bulk of my diet is healthy, so a few items are no issue for me. I’m not a sugar addict, my triggers are fat/salt/rich more than sweet!

I’ve been tracking my diet on The Daily Plate. Nearly every day I go over on my sugars. I’m trying to phase them out, but it’s tough when milk, fruit, and pretty much every other food I eat has sugar in it. I’m trying to stay away from processed sugars, as I’ve heard they are the worst.

I’m planning to switch from cereal to oatmeal in the future. The problem is I don’t really care for oatmeal.

Slowly, but surely, I’m controlling my sugar.

I’m on the moderation side. I try to avoid anything with added sugar and limit my high-sugar natural foods, but I will occasionally have a cookie or a piece of candy. The longer I go with limiting sugar the less appeal it has for me.
