sugar content in mayo. a big concern ?

[muzza]

hi guys just a quick 1 . my mayonaise has 2.3 carbs per 100 grams and 2.2 sugars per 100 grams but on the ingredients it has added cane sugar is this still ok during induction ? i only manage about maybe 4 tablespoons a day . cheers from australia

No, It's not permitted. I get my mayo at Trader Joe's. No sugar is allowed at all!

trader joes DOES have awesome mayo but if you can't find it without sugar just make your own.

It is better to avoid foods that contain sugar, even if this sugar is in trace amounts as it happens in store-bought mayo or in some cold cuts (including bacon). What I have discovered is that store-bought mayo stalls me unless it's sugar-free.

Also, when you are counting your carbs, it's not the grams of sugar you should be careful about when reading the label, but the amount of net carbs -- net carbohydrate is what we are counting on Atkins. Some of the sugar listed on the label is naturally occurring in foods -- you only have to be cautious about added sugar (listed among the ingredients).
