    Hidden Sugars Question

    Hi!
    This is my first post. I'm new to this board and I think it is going to be a great resource and a fun way to stay motivated! I'm looking forward to sharing recipes.

    This is my second time on Atkins and I'm nearing the end of my induction phase.
    I can be extremely strict for 14 days but now I am looking forward to adding some more variety to my menu.

    Here are my questions:
    I see that Mayo and Bacon and Deli Meat are allowed - but I have not been able to find any without some form of sugar.
    Every Mayo in my grocery store has sugar in it. I have used it on induction before without any trouble - but I don't want to overlook a sugarless option if it available.
    The same for Bacon and deli meat - they all have sugar.

    Any brand name suggestions? What are you guys buying?

    Thanks so much!

    Re: Hidden Sugars Question

    Can't help you on the bacon and deli meat. Isn't it amazing what they add sugar too? I was label reading the other day and it seemed like everything I picked up had sugar in it...tartar sauce...salad dressing..even manwich meal...I thought that might have been ideal for the cupboard in case I was having a very busy day..how quick that would have been. But there was sugar in it. CRAZY! A CONSPIRACY I tell ya...

    Anyway...as far as the mayo goes you could always make your own. It is supposed to be very easy. I have seen a lot of emails mentioning Helman's mayo. I think it still has some sugar in it but I am not sure.

    Congrats on your success so far.

      Best foods mayo, which I use, does not have sugar on the label.

      A lot of people recommend Boars Head deli meats and bacon because it doesn't contain sugar.

        Thanks!

        I'll look for Best Foods mayo at the store & I'll check out the Boar's Head stuff too.
        I don't use deli meats alot - but it would be nice for a quick lunch occasionally - but not if it is going to set me back. Not worth it! <giggle>

        I will check out the second time around forum! Thanks for the invite
        This is a GIGANTIC and ACTIVE community and its easy to get overwhelmed.

        Thanks again!

              I have a real hard time finding deli meats and bacon without sugar as well. Truth be told, I usually just avoid them; however, if you have a Trader Joe's near you, you might want to check it out. They have a sugar free mayo, as well as several varieties of sugar free sausage.

                Has anyone in Canada been able to find mayo without sugar in it?
