Zero Added Sugar Update

Saturday 25th Jan

Three Weeks Gone and One Remaining

 

I have been eating perfectly. Honestly, apart from it taking a couple of days to figure out what foods contain added sugar, it has been quite easy to only eat foods without added sugar. 

 

It has been a real eye opener though.   While reading the ingredients in most products while at the supermarket, I have realized that so many things, in particular "healthy natural" cereals, are actually are full of crap.  I probably won't buy those products anymore, even after this fundraiser challenge ends.

 

Natural Oats are for breakfast.   No plain flour, wholemeal flour instead.    No sauces or food dressings.   Fruit, veg, meat, chicken and fish have been good.

 

Thanks to Ang Barnas and Pina Violi for their donations.

 

Anyone can donate to my Go Zero Added Sugar fundraiser here https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/marycrea/splasharama

 

Thanks :)

What Foods Have Zero or Low Sugar?

Friday 3rd Jan

Vegetables, particularly greens, have little to no sugar, so they’re always a safe bet when you’re hungry.  The typical keto-friendly foods (meats, fish, eggs, cheeses, avocados, and other foods rich in protein and fat) are sugar-free.  

Below is a short list of some no-sugar to low-sugar foods.

• Animal proteins (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, etc.)
• Unrefined oils (avocado, coconut, olive, etc.)
• Butter, ghee, cheese
• Avocado
• Eggplant
• Green beans
• Kelp noodles
• Zucchini noodles
• Mushrooms
• Spinach
• Watercress
• Radish
• Kale
• Celery
• Broccoli

No Added Sugar begins Today

Friday 3rd Jan

I have committed to Fundraising for the National Breast Cancer Foundation for one month by being a Go Zero Hero.

I will Give Up Added Sugar from 3 January to 2 February 2020.

I would be so grateful if you could please support me by donating to my fundraising page.

It has been interesting reviewing foods to find out what naturally contains sugar and what foods have added sugar.  I will post an image that summarises foods that are suitable for me to consume this month.  I will log my meals in MyFitnessPal to ensure I avoid added sugar but still consume the nutrients I require.

I will provide weekly updates via this blog.

My aim is to raise $150. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and you'll receive a receipt via email. Thank you for supporting me with this challenge.
