For the last week I've been making a conscious effort to only eat foods with no sugar.

It turns out, this is way easier said than done. It seems like this limits your diet only to vegetables and meats (or meat substitutes).

Things I would've never expected with sugar nutritional facts. Things like whole wheat loaf bread, plain unflavored yogurt, and cottage cheese. One would think they would have sugar-free options if you look hard enough, I can't seem to find any.




Sugar is in bread and yogurt and cheese naturally.

It's required for the fermentation process to happen. The real concern IMO is sugar added. This should be pretty easy to find for cheese and yogurt, for bread you might have to get into homemade / high quality sourdough (real sourdough) to not have sugar added.


The natural sugars found in dairy and fruits are much different for your body than refined sugars.

I avoid refined sugars, but my diet contains a lot of sugar from (plain, with cut up bananas) greek yogurt, milk and kefir.
