Avoiding sugar is probably one of the quickest ways to get rid of bloating. It is also probably one of the best ways to help control or prevent diabetes. But, before you forsake the jar of sugar in your pantry, here are common foods you should avoid, that contain added sugar.
Most popular breads contain high fructose corn syrup or molasses. A healthier option would be sourdough bread.
Sports drinks are often high in caffeine and in sugar. It would be better to opt for coconut water or lime juice for instant hydration.
If you truly want to break up with sugar, be ready to give up processed meats like sausages, chicken ham or bacon. A lot of these products tend to have at least 10 gms of sugar, so they have a longer shelf life.
Sauces including ketchup, salad dressing, mustard sauce, basically condiments that come in a bottle contain 20-30 gms of sugar. Look for versions with low sugar/sodium content.
Seems like an innocent healthy snack, doesn't it? But, a cup of fruit yogurt contains between 10-20 gms of sugar. A better option would be to have plain yogurt with some fruit in it.
Even the protein bars that say 'whole' or 'natural' tend to have added sugar. The same goes for healthy, multi-grain cereals. A pack of multi-grain cereal tends to have up to 20-40 gms of added sugar.
