5 Foods That Are High in Hidden Sugar: Be Careful

03.06.2024 07:25

When dieting, many people aim to reduce their sugar intake.

They give up a significant portion of confectionery products and try not to add granulated sugar to tea.

It would seem that this is enough to normalize sugar consumption.

But it's not that simple. It turns out that this component can "hide" even in products that are considered healthy, and in those products that are not sweet.

Many people who are losing weight forget about this, continue to eat foods with hidden sugar without limit, and then are surprised that the extra weight remains.

So, which foods contain a lot of hidden sugar?

Bread

Sugar is found in many baked goods.

It's not just about buns and white bread.

It turns out that sugar (albeit in smaller quantities) is also found in black bread.

Of course, this does not mean that you need to give up this product while on a diet.

If consumed in moderation, nothing bad will happen. Just consider not only the calorie content, but also the sugar content.

Yogurt

Yogurt is considered a healthy product.

But you need to check how much sugar it contains.

Very often its content in fermented milk products turns out to be too high.

It is better to buy yogurt without additives and add nuts and pieces of fruit to it yourself.

Fruit juice

This drink is also considered healthy. But, again, you need to remember about the sugar content.

During the diet, you should avoid juices. It is better to quench your thirst with plain water. And it is better to eat fresh fruit than to drink juice.

Tomato sauce

Many manufacturers add a lot of sugar to tomato sauce and tomato paste to make the “sourness” less pronounced.

Cereal bars

Such snacks are considered safe for the figure. But still, do not forget to check the sugar content in such products and remember about moderation.
