With many pre-prepared, pre-packed foods there can be hidden ingredients. Ingredients that you wouldnt consider in the foods.
For example salt in a sweet product.
Sugar is one of the main ingredients that can be often hidden in many pre - packaged foods.
This can lead to over consumption and not even know it.
The best way to watch your sugar intake is to read the back of the panel of all pre-packaged foods.
When reading the panel look at all aspects. Everything from the fat content to the carb content, sugars and even salt.
When reading the ingredients, learn and know what the ingredients actually are. For example look at the image above: All those different words are sugar. Just in different forms and names.
When you get the hang of reading the panel and know what that means you can indeed watch the hidden sugars.
The other thing you need to watch is take away foods. There are foods that you wont expect to have sugar in the food:
- Coleslaw
- Bread
- Takeaway foods like burgers
- tomato sauce
Other foods you need to watch include:
- non-dairy milks
- Yoghurt
- low fat cereals
- frozen meals
- tinned soup
To ensure you are not having any hidden sugars, eat whole foods and cook meals from scratch most days. This way you know what ingredients are in your meals.
