Theres even sugar in weetabix. Couple of people I know was doing a no sugar detox and was most upset because they had bought weetabix and not realised there was sugar in it.

I dont eat a lot of ready meals, I would assume I dont actually eat that much sugar apart from in fruit and the very odd ready meal I do buy, but stuff like tomato sauce, tomato soup is really bad for sugar I believe.

there is also sugar added to tinned tomatoes.. Sugar is in everything bar dried grains, veggies and fruit (although their is natural sugar in these foods) .

When my youngest was small and I was weaning him onto solids (and we are going back nearly 18 years!) He used to have baby porridge for breakfast.

I happened to glance at the ingredients and discovered that the specific baby porridge had more salt and sugar than Ready Brek. The baby crap went in the bin!

So sugar is in everything be it natural or added

ETA: there's no sugar added to tinned tomatoes

I put something on my facebook about having one of those nakd bars and I think there were maybe 3 grammes of fat in it. I got a lecture about eating that because it was high in fat.

I love nakd bars..

shredded cauliflower makes a great rice substitute.

I think I'd be too scared to post my meals on here, mainly cos if then be worrying it wasn't healthy enough. So Tink you have more balls than I do
