In an attempt to limit the amount of sugar in your diet, we often miss its presence in other products and do not even suspect that it is included in their composition. Of course, sugar is in fruits, but we are talking about those products added artificially. Where is the hidden sugar, and what to avoid in your diet?
Whole wheat bread
Whole wheat bread nutritionists recommend preferring those who are watching their diet and health. However, the content of sugar is a little inferior to bread made from refined flour. Of course, whole grain wheat flour is healthier, but the sugar issue is not closed.
Low-fat foods
Products, especially fat-free diets, contain more sugar than their normal fat counterparts. The fact is that by losing fat, they lose their appeal and structure. And various additives, including the sweetener, help to maintain consistency.
Ready-made sauces
Sugar not only improves the taste of the finished product but also acts as a preservative for it. The situation with the sauces. To extend their shelf life, they are generously flavored industrial sauces with sugar. It is desirable to prepare sauces and dressings for dishes on their own.
Salami and sausages
Sausages – not the best food in terms of healthy eating. They contain many preservatives, flavor enhancers, soy, salt, and sugar of 20 teaspoons per kilogram of product.
Quick-cooking porridge
Porridges of fast preparation are convenient for taking with you on the trip or at work because their preparation requires only boiling water. We believe that this snack is much healthier than a sandwich. Actually, there is very much sugar in these cereals, and the harm that it causes, is much higher than the benefit.
Yogurt
Sweet yogurt has a rich taste, not at the expense of natural fruits added, and due to a large amount of sugar – 8 teaspoons in a small bottle of drinking yogurt. It may lead to the release of insulin in the blood, and then the same sharp decrease.
Juices
Packaged juices also contain sugar, although this is not always reflected on the label with the composition. The juice has a lot of preservatives, dyes, and flavor enhancers that are not suitable for proper nutrition in General. Juice, as a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, is only if you squeeze it from natural fruits.
Sodas “sugar-free.”
The inscription on the label – 0% sugar – not true. It’s just a marketing move to improve sales of the product. The sugar content of the soda may still be dangerously high (9 tablespoons per Cup).
