I've lost like 70 lbs by cutting out added sugars and walking 3-4 days a week. Now I have a habit at looking at products with no sugar or no added sugar. I can still enjoy ketchup and peanut butter by just looking at the no sugar variants (they are sometimes pricey).

HDelaCruz, I make my own peanut butter at home. I use my food processor. One 16 oz jar of dry roasted salted peanuts will yield 2 cups of peanut butter. Process peanuts until you reach your desired consistency. I like creamy. Then add your powdered Keto Sweetener to taste and blend. I add 4 tablespoons of allulose. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator. Delicious. Even my non-keto husband likes it. The Walmart brand jar of peanuts is about $2.50.

It’s important to note that the reason the sugar in regular milk is higher because lactose is sugar that is naturally found in dairy milk. Lactose free milk will always have lower sugar because lactose is sugar I hope that makes sense.

Hey! Great video .. something to differentiate is the naturally occurring sugar vs ADDED sugar Raos sugar grams are from the tomato itself, not necessarily added While Ragu, Prago definitely have sugar added to them! Same with milk. It’s naturally occurring Thanks for pointing out hidden sugar in deli meat! When it’s already sliced in the case, you don’t even get a chance to read the label itself!! 😮

Some foods have natural sugars like lactose. Carbs are in many foods even if no sugar is added. That's why you should look at sugar added and carbs. Tomatoes have natural sugars so that's why no added sugar tomato sauce still has carbs. The amount of carbs per serving is more important to keep track of. Keep carbs very low to lose weight but to maintain you can have more. Carbs make me hungry. I have to stay below 20 to lose weight.

Its important to point out, “added sugars” and “total sugars” are two different things. For example a piece of fruit has sugars but no “added sugar”, meaning no one has included more sugar than naturally occurring. Also artificial sweeteners are not usually considered “sugar” so they don’t include them in these numbers.
