Life without sugar - learn to avoid sugar successfully by knowing where to hide in our food

One of the biggest problems in our modern nutrition is that we eat far too much sugar. Experts recommend not taking more than 10 teaspoons of sugar a day, but since sugar is often hidden, even in foods that are marked or are generally considered healthy, this can be a rather difficult task. If you really want to reduce sugar, you have to be careful where it is hiding. You know that it is in cola and lemonade, in cookies, puddings and ice cream and everything that is cute. But often sugar lurks where it would least suspect it.

#1: Muesli mix and muesli

Many packed breakfast cereals and ready -made cereals contain a lot of sugar. Better buy oats, nuts and fruit and make your own muesli. It gets much healthier.

#2: dried fruit

The sugar content of dried fruit is higher than that of fresh fruit, since the calorie density is higher. Fresh fruit still contains a lot of water and thus becomes larger. Dry fruit is a great energy supplier and deliver important nutrients, but you shouldn't eat large amounts of it due to the higher sugar concentration.

#3: Provisions

You would still suspect sugar in can fruits. But have you ever thought that it could hide in dosing soups, meat, fish or beans? Well, it does.

#4: Baking mixes

Not only waffle and pancake mixtures, but also bread and soup mixtures contain sugar.

#5: sauces, mustard and spices

Many sauces contain a lot of sugar: tomato, soy or meat sauce. Mustard can also have a significant sugar content, although it is not cute at all, and food spices usually also contain sugar.

#6: Joghurt

make sure that you only buy yogurt that is marked as "unsweetened". Particularly fruity yogurt is often sweetened.

#7: Bread and spreads

In addition to jam and Nutella, peanut butter and margarine are hiding for sugar. The bread and the rolls can also contain something.

#8: luxury, party and fastfood

Amazing: Even potato chips, pretzels and crackers contain sugar, as well as cucumbers, fries fries and hamburgers.

# 9: alcohol

Particularly sweet liqueurs have a high sugar content, but red wine also contains sugar.

The best advice that you can give to successfully avoid sugar is to read labels. If sugar is in any form (be it sucrose, fructose or dextrose) or sugar substitutes (such as honey or maple syrup) at the very beginning of the list of ingredients, the product contains a high sugar content. According to the FSA, more than 15g of sugar per 100g is high, less than 5G sugar per 100g of low sugar content.
