Hidden sugars!

I thought we were doing so good with our new lifestyle of Dairy free, Gluten Free, Sugar free and no prefab or processed foods and then we hit a plateau  Nothing shakes your confidence like a plateau after you have such amazing results like we were seeing. Then on Easter I was getting ready to make a GF, DF, SF brownie when my mom pointed out that the original coconut milk we were using had cane juice in it.. I was blown away! We also had to change our coconut oil, sugar free chocolate bars, and our steak seasoning! There's hidden sugar where ever you look, so I've come to terms with you don't know what you're eating unless you make it yourself.

Common places where you might find sugar:
Drinks
Juice
Dairy Substitutes
Ketchup
BBQ sauce
Mixed Seasonings
jarred salsa
Canned fruits, vegetables and sauces
Sugar free candy (may contain malitol or sorbitol which is a sugar from alcohol)
chips
Crackers
popcorn

Know what you're eating and you can save lbs, inches, possibly disease from your future =)
