What shouldn't I eat if I am trying to eliminate refined sugar from my diet?

Question

I understand that I can't have cookies, ice cream, candy, or other junk food the like, but I guess I am a little unclear on the specifics. What about yogurt or juices? Is organic sugar or other types of sweetners okay? Any advice or info resources would be much appriciated. Thanks.

I should note that I am not doing this to lose weight, just for general health. Also, I am breastfeeding so supplements are sort of out of the question for the time being.

Answer 1

Read the ingredients panel. Any ingredient ending in "ose" is refined sugar ie: lactose, sucrose, fructose, sucralose, etc.

Answer 2

Some food comes naturally sweet,yes. Refined sugar is sugar added.And theres alot of it out there!Try reading lables.Or look it up on the internet and do some homework.

Answer 3

The only sugar substitute you should have is called stevia.
Juice, most fruits, most bread, pasta and rice most yogurts, milk, pears/carrots and other foods are high in natural sugars.

Answer 4

stevia is a natural sweetner. Is is a plant, but can be bought in diff. forms. I use it instead of sugar in iced tea, ect.
