no sugar diet?

Question

im going on the no sugar diet for like a week but i looked at like all the food in my house and basically everything has sugar. what kind of foods that taste good could i eat that dont have sugar?

Answer 1

Fruit!!! Satisfies your craving for sugar! How about carrots? They seem sweet to me! Onions, carmelized. French Bread, traditional recipe is made without sugar. You are right, everything seems to have sugar! Even milk!

Answer 2

I guess my first question would be why are you doing this and why just for a week?? Are you trying to diet to lose weight? Are you trying to get away from sugar?? Are you trying to change your lifestyle??
If you are trying to eat more healthy, just doing it for a week is a good start but you need to be able to choose a lifestyle that you can stick with and not start a plan that you can't stick with - hense diet yourself into something that won't last and then quit and go back to your old ways. This happens with a lot of diets and people end up gaining back what they lose.
Now for the sugar question. Sugar comes in a number of forms and is found in many packaged and natural products - so if you are giving it up you should inform yourself what to look for.

lactose
This sugar occurs naturally in milk and is also called milk sugar. It's the least sweet of all the natural sugars and is used commercially in foods such as baby formulas and candies.

glucose
[GLOO-kohs] The most common form of this sugar is dextroglucose, a naturally occurring form generally referred to as dextrose (also called corn sugar and grape sugar). This form of glucose has many sources including grape juice, certain vegetables and honey. It has about half the sweetening power of regular sugar. Because it doesn't crystallize easily, it's used to make commercial candies and frostings, as well as in baked goods, soft drinks and other processed foods. Corn syrup is a form of glucose made from cornstarch.

fructose
[FRUHK-tohs; FROOK-tohs] Also called fruit sugar and levulose, this extremely sweet substance is a natural by-product of fruits and honey. It's more water-soluble than glucose and sweeter than sucrose (though it contains half the calories). Unlike glucose, it can be used by diabetics. Fructose comes in granulated and syrup forms. Except in the case of some liquids, such as a sauce or beverage, it should not be substituted for regular sugar (sucrose) unless a recipe gives specific substitution. When heated, fructose loses some of its sweetening power.


You will see the theme here is that those that end in ....ose are the sugars.

If you eat natural foods in the way of fresh meats and veggies that will keep you away from the sugars for the most part (as veggies do have some natural sugars even but not many). But your meat will need to be fresh - and if you start buying packaged then read the packages to see if things are added.

So it depends on how much sugar you want to cut out of your diet - why you want to cut it out and for how long. I don't add sugar to my diet and am cautious about what I eat - many years of past abuse to my body have taught me what to eat and what not to eat to now be healthy for me. - and my doctor approves whole heartedly.

Answer 3

If everything in your house has sugar, you need to go shopping!
Many prepared foods contain sugar. Cook from scratch, using fresh or frozen veggies, potatoes, white meat or fish, pasta with sauce (read the label), chowders and homemade soups, oatmeal, beans, salads (check the dressing or make your own oil & vinegar), fresh fruit., plain yogurt, cottage cheese...jeez, the list is endless!

Just use wholesome foods, fresh when possible, and don't buy anything with ingredients your grandmother wouldn't recognize!

Answer 4

when you try the no sugar diet, make sure you also STAY AWAY from SIMPLE carbs. because they turn to sugar immediately when they enter your body and get digested really quick. a few examples would be white rice, white bread, in general all the processed carbs. you can replace them with whole wheat Pasta, brown rice, wheat bread. As far as fruits, be selective of what you eat. Pick those that have a lower sugar content, and are high in fiber. Cantelopes, pears...
Good luck...
