[QUOTE="RetroHelen, post: 1965425, member: 278330"] It's happened to me lately as well. Sad fact was that it was with food I had been previously so careful to read the label of a while ago. Manufacturers of my favourite plain live yoghurt stopped thickening it naturally and were adding more milk powder instead (likely to speed up the process or get it on shop shelves quicker) and milk powder has concentrated lactose, which must have pushed up the sugar/carb content to a ridiculous level and I hadn't noticed until I metered my self. Same has happened with shop bought cottage cheese, once very low carb, now thickened with added starch, so it is more creamy, but now high carb - so no more of that as the occasional treat on batons of veg. You have to be vigilant for bulking out products with sugars/starches because they were told to lower the fat and salt content by government guidelines and felt this would lose the taste/texture - hence the added sugars/starches that weren't there last time you read the label and you get caught out!
