So if you are completely sure you are not getting more than a tsp from other sources, that is fine. 4g sugar is a teaspoon, and the foods that are laden with sugar are the fat free ones, because they replace the fat with sugar. Most sauces (sweet chilli, tomato,salad dressings) are also culprits. Think that is my article next week!Bev Bouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769981792969233023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244120655204824043.post-62193470404859896942015-07-09T17:49:04.733+02:002015-07-09T17:49:04.733+02:00Bev, you are a much more disciplined person than I...Bev, you are a much more disciplined person than I am #morning runs, but I find the sugar thing interesting. I am not really drawn to sweet things at all, I struggle to eat fruit, but love vegetables. I crave salty stuff. I can resist chocolate with ease, but not a packet of crisps! Yet I do have about 5 cups of coffee a day with a generous spoonful of sugar in. I know that is quite a lot, and I realise I am getting hidden sugars, but I think that having that bit of sugar in my coffee satisfies my sugar needs. I don't like coffee without sugar and find if I try to cut it I then start to want to eat other sweet stuff.<br />nataliesimmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611270694408569184noreply@blogger.com
