Default A Question about sugar...

Hey guys,

After much yo-yo-ing last year my girlfriend is finally as dedicated to the low-carb lifestyle as I am. We've both just finished induction and are starting OWL.

Now last night we had an early dinner and went to a movie. We came home a little peckish and had quite a few carbs to spare - not intentionally, we're finding it HARD to put in an extra 5 carbs a day!!

In the cupboard we had some "guest" supplies which included a can of tomato soup, which when made without milk was around 5 grams per 100mls. So we each had around 100mls without paying attention to the ingredients, only noticing later that it contained sugar.

So my question is; Is it a problem that there's a sugar additive when you include it in the total carb count?

i personally think it depends on how you feel afterwards. did you feel sick, bloated, hungry, want more sugary foods? somethings you can get away with and others you can't. it takes a bit of trial and error.

I felt fine... I guess I'm more worried about the difference between natural foods that have sugar in them, and foods that have sugar added...

well, if you felt fine, i wouldn't worry about it. i wouldn't make a big habit of it, if you are still trying to lose. it would be interesting to know if it knocked you out of ketosis. natural sugar is best of course.
