Ketchup: Look at this Label, there are 4 GRAMS OF SUGAR PER TABLESPOON. Let me put some perspective on this. A can of Coke contains 27 Grams of sugar for 8 0z. There are 6.46g of sugar per ounce of ketchup. 8 oz. of ketchup contain 51.68g of sugar! Ketchup is more sugar dense than Coke! I know you are not going to down 8 oz of ketchup, but you probably use much more than a T as well. All this nasty sugar adds up! Keep ketchup to your cheat days or not at all.
Salsa: Below is a Pace Picante label. Half the sugar of ketchup, but infinite more than homemade salsa fresca! Also will you stop at 2 T? I doubt it, that is barely enough for one chip! After you have enjoyed a cup of salsa on your mexican food or with chips, you will have taken in 16g of sugar! Not good sugar but nasty refined high fructose corn syrup!
Many other condiements and items exist that you should be aware of. Marinades, meat rubs, bbq sauces all contain high amounts of sugar. It is cheap and easy to add sugar for flavor and addiction. Avoid these products and remember People: READ THE LABEL! Knowledge is power!
Check out Sweet Baby Rays! 4 tbsp Gives you MORE SUGAR THAN A CAN OF COKE! Holy cow Number 1 ingredent is High Fructose Corn Syrup! Gross! NOTE: This is original sweet baby rays, other flavors have even higher sugar content.
Portion sizes are necessary when you're dieting. With the military diet, I was able to learn portion control and calorie counting that helped me a lot. Determining the portion size of your meals is easy with visual cues that are easy to remember and to follow. The low carb meals are also very effective in making sure you do lose the extra weight.
