[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1387468, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, I see from your profile you are diet only, which is good, but means you have to be very careful what you eat. It isn't just sugar you have to cut down on, it is carbs as well. All carbs convert to sugar once inside the system, and as we already have too much sugar in our system, we really don't want any more. When you buy packaged foods there is a nutrition label hidden away somewhere (not the useless traffic light thing). This label will tell you what all the main nutrients are per 100g of the food. Look for "total carbohydrate" (ignore the of which sugars). This is the figure you need to know before you buy. The lower the better, and unless you are only having a tiny amount of the product, anything over 10g carbs per 100g put back on the shelf. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who has all the basic information given to newcomers. Read it carefully, and follow the links she includes. You will find it very useful. Meanwhile, read round the forums and ask as many questions as you like. [/QUOTE]
