[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1421060, member: 93179"] I always look for total carbs (on our UK labelling) and ignore the "of which sugars" bit, as sugars are just a type of carbs under another name. I also try to avoid any foods that have [B]added sugar [/B]or [B] starchy fillers [/B](e.g. burgers or sausages), which are usually IMO quite unnecessary, so I also look at ingredients (and their percentages) on any packaged/processed food labels as well as the carb content. Any carbs in my diet will wherever possible come mainly from natural sources such as low carb veggies, berries and nuts, and full fat dairy products (which may contain minimal carbs). My aim is to eat as few carbs as possible but still eat a healthy diet that is sustainable long term. Robbity [/QUOTE]
