Hi All

I have scrolled through and ready many of the post as well as both books.

I am about 4 days into being sugar free...

I would like to make sure I have things straight in my own mind, and hopefully this will help out other newbies.

So sugar is out that much I know....

LABELS 0-3g of sugar per 100g? or 0-5g on dairy products?
2 serves of fruit a day is okay
Dextrose is okay IF going cold turkey
Maximum of 10g of fructose a day
to determine fructose content we halve the amount of sugar on a label?

Am I on the right path?

Thanks and good luck to all on you recovery from sugar addiction.

Tamara

That's pretty good Tamara ... the only thing I would change is the point about Dairy. Most Dairy products are 5% (5g/100g) lactose, so the rule is keep it under 8g for dairy (5g for the lactose and 3g for the sugar) ....

Cheers

David.

Thanks David
I was starting to worry because I don't seem to have had the intense withdrawal symptoms that some other people are reporting so I thought I was doing something wrong... it may hit me like a truck though now that I am heading into week two :(

one other point I thougtht of since I posted my original comment...
If I read a label and the sugar content seems low (ie 1-3g per 100g) but there is sugar listed in the ingredients panel should I be avoiding that product?
thanks again
