What is a sugar free diet?

A no-sugar diet is a dietary approach that eliminates or significantly reduces the consumption of added sugars and sweeteners. This includes avoiding foods and beverages that contain sugar, such as sucrose, fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup.

The goal is to promote better health by reducing the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, which are associated with excessive sugar intake. Instead, this type of diet encourages the consumption of whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains as sources of natural sugars and carbohydrates.


Some foods you can eat on a sugar-free diet include:

- Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, asparagus, zucchini, and sweet potatoes
- Fruits like apples, oranges, berries, grapes, cherries, and grapefruit
- Proteins like chicken, fish, beef, tofu, and eggs
- Healthy fat sources like egg yolks, avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and unsweetened yogurt


There are also a number of sugar aliases to watch out for including (but not limited to):

- glucose
- maltrose
- sucrose
- dextrose
- fructose
- lactose

A general rule of thumb is to look out for ingredients ending in "ose" - these are usually forms of sugar.

In addition to clearly labeled sugars, such as malt sugar, the substance can take on many other forms including:

- molasses
- agave
- syrups, such as corn, rice, malt, and maple
- fruit juice concentrate
- maltodextrin


Avoid artificial sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners can be anywhere from 200 to 13,000 times sweeter than real sugar. This can fool your brain into thinking that you’re actually eating sugar.

In the long run, these substitutes can trigger sugar cravings, making it harder for you to stick to your eating plan.

Common sugar substitutes include:

- Stevia
- Splenda
- Equal
- Sweet ‘N Low
- Nutrasweet

Ingredients to watch for include:

- saccharin
- aspartame
- neotame
- sucralose
- acesulfame potassium


With Sugar Free Scanner, you can easily track your sugar intake and make informed choices about your food, ensuring a healthier lifestyle while navigating dietary restrictions and food allergies.
