Hi everyone, I am brand new to the forum and to this new lifestyle that I am embarking on to eliminate sugar from my diet. Can someone please confirm that I have got it right so far. Should I be looking for products that have less than 2% total sugars per 100 gms with the exception of yoghurt which is 5 % for 100 gms. So much to learn. I did read Sugar Poison a few years ago and gave the book to a friend, and I have just finished reading that That Sugar Book which has got me very inspired and motivated again.Thanks Liz

Pretty much spot on. "5% for 100g" is a bit bit confusing. 5% = 5g per 100g.

The reason 5% is OK for yoghurt is that it contains 4.7% lactose-based sugar which metabolizes as glucose and so is OK.  But beware "low fat' yoghurts . .  when they remove the fat the flavour goes with it and is replaced with sugar and salt.

Do keep posting your progress :-0
