Hey! I am on a "sugar free diet."
The idea is to eat as much "real" food as possible. Anything that comes pre-made or in a jar or a tin, normally has tons of added sugar in it. Avoid low fat products as they remove the fat and add sugar.
A normal day for me will look something like this:
Breakfast- green smoothie (banana, spinach, avocado, seeds and chai seeds
Lunch and Supper- Home made soup, or roasted veg with chicken, stir frys.. basically something I have cooked at home.
Snacks I eat nuts or dried fruit (but be careful with fruit as the sugar content is high!) Or olives (munching on some of them now.) Cooked meats also (but be careful of the store bought sliced meats.)
You have to be a label reader.. I can spend ages in the supermarket checking all the labels. Its exhausting!
Saying this.. I have also cut out gluten / caffiene and also dairy. (It's bloody hard.. but I feel better for it!) So this may be why it takes me longer to read things.
Ive slipped up a couple of times (pop tart yesterday) but I haven't done as badly as I thought I would have.
Its damn hard but worth it!
