Swimgirl - You know a big part of finding ones way to a healthy life style is learning from others. I for one never monitored my surgar that closely. I figured since I didn't add sugar to foods and if I was eating fresh fruit/veggies and whole grain, low calorie, low fat and high fiber products I was doing well. That is why I like W.W. I really thought I was eating healthy now I'm not so sure. When I tried south beach I did monitor it very closely. I also was losing at a rabbits speed for me. But I found that I had horrible headaches and I was getting dizzy. So I started to add more fruit/veggies the kind that wasn't allowed. I felt better. So here I sit thinking about how much sugar added into the food I eat. Is this too much? Here's a list of my meals yesterday. I am not going to count the sugar in my fruits and veggies ate with the meal.
Breakfast - Rice Cream Original .5 cup - 5 Grams of sugar
Breakfast - Special K cereal - 3/4 cup - 9 grams
Lunch - Morning Star Italian Herb Chick Patties - 1 gram sugar
Snack - Fiber One Yogurt - 10 grams
All Bran Fiber Drink mix - less than 1 gram per packet. I drank 2 yesterday.
Dinner WW. Smart Ones - 10 grams
Yesterday was a non cooking day. Meetings, games you know busy busy.
So is 37 grams of sugar from pre packaged foods bad? Is there the somewhere that states a daily amount?
