KETCHUP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lots of people enjoy ketchup, it\u2019s a great condiment. It goes great with fries and all kinds of things. However, ketchup is a really sneaky source of sugar. <\/p>\n<p>Just how much sugar? <\/p>\n<p>We measured out 26 teaspoons (130 grams) of sugar in a bottle of ketchup. So, in case you didn\u2019t really think there\u2019s a whole lot of sugar in ketchup, THINK AGAIN. <\/p>\n<p>We already know what sugar does to us and ketchup is a really sneaky source of sugar. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2. WHITE BREAD <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2 slices of White bread, we have a total of 35.7g of carbs, 1.59g of fiber, and 2.5 added grams of sugar. It doesn\u2019t sound so bad, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, think again. The total carbs minus fiber equals carbs that TURN into sugar. <\/p>\n<p>So we take 35.7 and take away the 1.9g of fiber, we\u2019ve got about 33 or so grams of sugar, essentially, in two slices of bread. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3. RICE <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rice seems pretty innocuous in itself. <\/p>\n<p>We have about 415 calories in a little packet; most of it coming from carbs &#8211; 45g of carbs per serving. Look at how many serving sizes are there in a pack \u2013 there\u2019s two. <\/p>\n<p>So, there are 4 grams of total fiber. And what does that leave us with? 86 grams of carbs that CONVERT to sugar quickly. There\u2019s very little fiber. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4. POTATO <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a food we refer to as &#8216;The White Menace&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>You might think that white potatoes have no added sugar. However, regular potatoes don\u2019t tend to have a lot of fiber. They have a lot of CARBS that QUICKLY TURN into sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the regular potato is about 42g, we\u2019re talking about 42g of sugar in here. That\u2019s about the same as we have when we measured the teaspoons of sugar in a Coke can. <\/p>\n<p>So, if you think you\u2019re having a potato and you\u2019re eating really healthy \u2013 not quite so much. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5. YOGURT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We have a pretty small serving of yogurt here (in this video), but even this little container of yogurt has two and a half teaspoons of sugar. <\/p>\n<p>So, where can you get away from sugar? It\u2019s everywhere. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>#6. CHOCOLATE MILK <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kids love chocolate milk, but we\u2019ve got 33.8g of carbs and 29.6g of sugar in it; some of which are from the sugar that naturally occurs in the milk. Remember, the no.2 ingredient in milk is <strong>sugar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for you when it comes to label reading, as a takeaway? <\/p>\n<p><strong>Importance of Fiber <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look at the fiber you get, then subtract that from any carbs. <\/p>\n<p>To lower your net of carbs consumption, it&#8217;s really important for you to look at how much glucose you\u2019re taking in. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget, Fiber slows down the impact of any sugar that we ingest whether it\u2019s added sugar or a carb that converts quickly into sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Know how much sugar they\u2019re actually adding to the product and that tells you how much is there. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Carbs <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look at the total carbs, it&#8217;s really a big number that a lot of people don\u2019t understand. It\u2019s the total amount of what is quickly processed into sugar. <\/p>\n<p>Our bodies are designed to store a lot of sugar, so when you\u2019re choosing your food, always be careful with those that contain high carb and low fiber, it&#8217;s really going to spike that insulin and cortisol. <\/p>\n<p>And when you can\u2019t burn it \u2013 <strong>it turns to fat<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Also, watch out for the white menace foods and watch out for those empty carbs. <\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/yumpaleo.com\/vip\/\">Live Longer And Lose Weight With VIP Access To The World\u2019s Most Delicious, Nutritious Paleo Recipes!
