[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 750935, member: 94045"] Your low sugar cereals will still be full of carbs - have a look at the total carbohydrate amount in the nutrition label on the box. More than 5g per 100g put it back on the shelf. It isn't just the sugar content of food, it is the total carb content that matters. It doesn't matter what colour your pasta/bread/rice is, it will still convert to glucose. It just takes a bit longer for wholemeal to digest. Skimmed and semi skimmed milk has more sugar than whole milk - it is added to make it taste nicer. Please have a good read of that link. But ... if you are still unsure, test your normal meals and be prepared for a shock! ;) [/QUOTE]
