10. EATING HIDDEN SUGAR
Sugar is one of those nasty guys that is lurking around every corner, using a variety of different aliases – 257, in fact!
Yep, that’s right. There are 257 names for sugar. Insane, right?(
You’re probably doing a great job at avoiding the obvious sugar-bombs, like cakes, candy bars, pop tarts, etc. But what you might not realize is that almost every processed, pre-packaged food you buy probably has added sugar in it.
Some common foods that contain high-levels of hidden sugar are:
- Soda
- Non-fat fruit yoghurt
- Condiments like BBQ sauce and ketchup
- Salad dressing
- Granola bars
- Bread
- Pasta sauce
- Fruit juice
- Flavored coffee drinks (the type you buy at Starbucks)
Here are some healthier alternatives to those sugar-bombs:
- Water
- Greek yoghurt sweetened with fresh berries
- Mustard
- Olive oil, avocado oil
- Fruit (contains natural sugars, but also contains fiber)
- Sugar-free 100% whole grain bread
- Homemade pasta sauce
- Water, flavored with berries, lime, lemon, cucumber or mint
- Black coffee or herbal tea.
