waqasmk: I haven't been taking any sugar in tea and have stopped taking soft drinks. Was really happy until i read this thread. I thought I was almost sugar free but after reading this just picked up the "Health & Wellbeing" Up & Go Liquid breakfast on my desk which I have every morning and realized it has 2gms of Sugar :S That is almost 5 tablespoons...... Need to be a bit more careful from now.
joker97: and if you're happy to drink palm oil then go for it! all these milky liquidy stuff ... = vegetable oil of sorts
including "soy milk" = aka sunflower oil
Fred99: I'll look next time I'm at the supermarket. If so, it's a little dishonest or disingenuous, Wikipedia might be a good gauge of "common use" description - and Soy Milk is clearly described there as something which "So Good" very clearly isn't.

I am basically getting rid of most of my sugar intake. I think its very hard or close to impossible to completely eliminate it. However my idea is to eat real food.
Mainly fruit and vegetables, animal protein, and avoiding things like canola oil and refined carbohydrates, yes this includes most forms of bread.
I find I still need carbs to keep me full, but I can get these from whole grain breads, vegetables like kumara and pumpkin. Proteins also help with keeping me full as well.
Still taking vitamins, A multi + magnesium, a vitamin c and sometimes i take extra chromium.
I find the single best thing to do even if you are crap at dieting is drink more water. And replace novelty drinks you have with water.
joker97: it's hard if it's free I admit. but if I have to pay $4 for a juice and 0c for water ... I'd opt for water :)
you don't have to cut 100%, no human can achieve that, nun or not. but reduce ... some people can reduce by 99.9%, some people can only do 1%. but I have a feeling education plays a big role.
afe66: Next time in supermarket look at the sugar content of the fruit juice drinks, some of them get close to sugar content of soft drinks...

Jaxson:
Anything that is fat free is typically just full of sugar, or full of simple carbs that will be converted into sugar very quickly.
