Breakfast
Every cereal with more than 3g of sugar per 100g should be thrown out.
Porridge, Weetabix and unflavoured shredded wheat are good choices, as is
plain buttered toast with marmite or a meat or cream cheese spread.
Be wary of yogurts – if they contain fruit juice extract as the sweetener they
will be high in sugar.
Eggs with bacon and sausages are fine; though commercial sauces such as tomato
and barbecue are all full of sugar. Mayonnaise is, too, unless it is
whole-egg and full-fat.
Shop-bought pancake mixes are all high in sugar but you can make them by
substituting dextrose. Top with butter or fresh strawberries.
Avoid pastries (except plain croissants) and all jams and honey.
Drinks
Avoid juice and sweetened drinks of any description. Unflavoured water (be it still or sparkling) and unflavoured milk are the only soft drinks you should have.
Switch to dextrose in tea or coffee if you are used to adding sugar.
Stick to low-sugar alcohol, such as red wine. Other dry wines, beers and spirits (if unmixed with other drinks containing sugar) are OK. Dessert wines, ports, liqueurs and mixers are not.
Main meals
Any kind of sandwich that involves low-fructose bread, butter and a spread that isn’t sweet is fine.
Salads are fine as long as you avoid balsamic vinegar and dressings that are unreasonably high in sugar.
A meal of meat with any kind of vegetable is fine. Avoid relishes, though mustards and gravy are almost completely sugar-free.
Stick to Chinese or Indian cuisine rather than Thai and Malaysian, which often use brown sugar as the primary ingredient in their sauces. Stay away from anything that mentions honey or sweet chilli.
Pizza is fairly low-sugar. But if you make it at home, choose a tomato purée with the lowest possible sugar content - they vary widely.Frozen and other ready-made pizzas tend to be higher in sugar: meat pies and sausage rolls are a far superior option. Pasta, potatoes and rice are great with anything as long as you are careful about the sugar content of the sauces.
In general, beware of ready meals – these will almost always have significantly higher sugar levels than their home-made counterparts.
When eating out, make a habit of choosing the cheese platter with coffee instead of pudding, and stick to water or red wine.
Snacks
Ditch chocolate, sweets and ice cream of any description. Biscuits are only slightly less bad, though shortbreads and malted milk biscuits are among the lowest sugar biscuits. Avoid dried fruit (70 per cent sugar) and substitute nuts or non-sugar treats such as potato crisps for sugary snacks.
Though high in fructose, fruit can be eaten in small quantities (no more than two pieces per day) because they contain a large amount of innate soluble fibre, which helps the body mitigate fructose damage. They also contain water, which dilutes the sugar.

ReplyDeleteWhat an irresponsible bit of reporting! In what world are potato crisps healthier than dried fruit? Sure dried fruit may contain some sugar but on a gram-for-gram basis crisps contain far more. They are almost entirely carbohydrate which is broken down into sugar which is then absorbed. Add to that the flavourants inevitably contain sugar, plus they are high in salt and saturated fats! Fruit juice is bad even though it contains important vitamins and minerals? Yes it contains sugar and you have removed the fibre which isn't too good, but saying alcohol is good whereas fruit juice is bad is crazy. Don't eat fruit and yoghurt for breakfast as they are high in sugar, rather eat eggs and bacon?!? Sure you won't get type-2 diabetes if you follow David Gillespie's eating plan, that's because you'll have died of a heart attack from his recommended meal plan of fry-up breakfasts, pizza, meat pies, sausage rolls, potato crisps and alcohol!
There is a simple way to be healthy - avoid processed foods, sugary sodas and highly refined carbohydrates (e.g. white bread etc). They are the real culprits!
