It’s a quick way to get some fuel for the body, but high-sugar consumption can lead to a lot of health problems and complications. These range from type 2 diabetes and heart disease to cancer and depression. The more sugar you eat, the harder it is to stop. Therefore, eating lots of sugar may only make you crave even more sugar.What are some sugar-free foods?There are foods with no sugar and foods with added sugar. Foods that have no added sugar include all meats and seafood (sugar-free protein powders too like Further Food Collagen), and all spices. Vegetables do not have added sugar, and when it comes to fruit, try to eat low glycemic fruits, like blueberries and coconuts. All nuts, seeds, legumes, and beans are a go. Whole grains like brown rice are safe to eat. Drink unsweetened beverages and water, and that includes condiments too.Which foods should I avoid on a no-sugar diet?You should avoid sugar products: brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, etc. Anything that tastes super sweet are probably high in sugar. You should also avoid refined flours, condiments with added sugar (check the labels), dried fruit, and any artificial sweeteners. Bananas and potatoes are particularly high in sugar, and be weary of most beverages.What foods should I limit on a sugar-free diet?Foods that you can eat but in limit in consumption are monk fruit, stevia, and dark chocolate. You should be careful with your high glycemic fruit consumption, meaning you should limit your consumption of fruits like mangoes and grapes. Finally, dairy products should be limited as well, specifically yogurt, cheese, and milk. Eggs and butter, however, do not need to be worried about when it comes to sugar!Meet your secret weapon in losing weight and keeping it off-Further Food Collagen!

Robert July 11, 2021 at 9:30 amOMG. I thought I was doing the right thing by eating more fruit now I see Bananas, Rasins and Dates are a no no. I even tried making sugar free flapjacks using Banana’s instead of sugar, I won’t miss them as they were a bit yuk. Having watched a telly program I’m not eating anything between 7pm and 9am. Exercise as a weight loss method is over rated and merely a way of distracting the mind, as during physical exercise it’s not possible to eat.Thank you for the above informative chart. Reply ↓
Recipe Team June 17, 2021 at 3:50 amHi Cathy: Salads can be delicious and healthy meals. While we typically recommend making your own dressing, you can use one that comes in a jar-just make sure to read the label to check for any added sugars. Enjoy! Reply ↓

Quinn June 28, 2020 at 4:41 pmIm a bit confused as to why you say that you can’t eat sweet potatoes but you can eat normal potatoes because when I looked online Large potatoes have 2.9 grams sugar and sweet potatoes have 5 grams sugar. Am I missing something? Also I was wondering if I could still eat frozen fruit? Reply ↓
Recipe Team July 3, 2020 at 5:49 amHi Quinn: Thanks for the question. But sweet potatoes and potatoes are on the “no” foods on this list. Frozen fruit is fine as long as it has no added sugars and you eat small portion-1/2-1 cup. Good luck. Reply ↓
Bree June 27, 2020 at 7:42 pmIs frozen fruit ok to use?? Mine says 6 grams per serving 3/4 cup of mixed berries is the serving size Reply ↓
Recipe Team June 30, 2020 at 12:36 pmHi Bree: Thanks for the question. Frozen fruit is fine, as long as there is no added sugars. We recommend 1/4-1/2 cup serving size. Good luck! Reply ↓
Bree June 23, 2020 at 8:16 pmHello I was wondering if I could still take gummy vitamins. To be specific I take nature bounty hair skin and nails gummy vitamins. There only 15 calories and 2g of sugar per dosage but since it is such a small dosage I was wondering if I am still able to take them? Reply ↓
Recipe Team June 24, 2020 at 6:58 amHi Bree: We’ve never had this question before! This is a personal decision. If you feel like the vitamins are really helping you, then you can go ahead and take them, although 2 grams of sugar is actually quite a lot for a couple gummies. Have you tried collagen? It has lots of benefits for hair, skin, and nails and it has no sugar. You can learn more here https://shop.furtherfood.com/products/collagen-peptides-protein-powder Good luck! Reply ↓

Holly April 30, 2020 at 5:29 amI’m on day 5 with no sugar. Aiming for 1 month. Feeling fine so far. Just wondering why you recommend to limit cheese? I know milk has quite high natural sugar levels (5%) but I’ve checked the labels on my cheeses and it varies between 0.1 and 0.8 %, which seems pretty low. Is there something I don’t know? I’m in the U.K. maybe our cheese is different? I don’t eat meat or fish so cheese is pretty fundamental! Thanks Reply ↓
Recipe Team May 4, 2020 at 7:40 amHi Holly: Thanks for the question. Glad you are doing great on a no-sugar diet so far. If you have checked the labels on your cheeses and they are low sugar, then you are welcome to use it in your no sugar diet. Good luck! Reply ↓

Kate Webber July 12, 2019 at 2:54 pmStruggling to find foods with no suger,even yogurt,is there always suger in yogurt?? Anyway any help to find the right foods would help.Even so called diet meals have suger. Reply ↓
Recipe Team July 15, 2019 at 5:24 amThanks for question. It can be difficult to find foods without sugar-reading labels is so important. You can definitely find yogurts without sugar-look for unflavored varieties as those are the most likely to have no sugar added. Your best bet is to replace store bought diet meals with home made no sugar added recipes. You can find lots of no sugar added recipes here https://www.furtherfood.com/diet_restriction/no-sugar-added/ Reply ↓

Michell Ortiz December 10, 2018 at 8:12 amEric & I are in! Sugar addiction is no joke. We we’re doing laundry and they had free coffee. So we poured ourselves a cup but no sweetener. We use Swerve normally. We sprinkled a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar into our cup of coffee and holy cow we started sweating and it felt like our hearts we’re going to jump out of our chest!😱 Our hands we’re shaking! It was an awful feeling! To He’ll with sugar! Literally! My moto “I refuse to be a stastic, I’m in charge of my health!” Reply ↓
Recipe Team December 1, 2018 at 5:22 amFor the sugar detox we only recommend small amounts of stevia if necessary. We recommend removing dates, honey and maple syrup from your diet for the 7 days of detox to help your body adjust to no sugar. If you are looking to sweeten your coffee, we recommend some cinnamon or almond milk. Fruit is also naturally sweet and can be added to plain yogurt. Good luck! Reply ↓

Recipe Team November 6, 2018 at 4:12 amThanks for the question. We don’t count numbers of sugar in our diet. For purposes of the detox we try to avoid all added sugars, often found in processed foods. Fresh fruit in moderation is fine. Reply ↓
Doug Stante October 8, 2018 at 2:06 pmAlmost EVERYTHING in a bag, can, bottle or jar in a grocery store has either sugar, honey, fructose or high fructose corn syrup added, Even things like Cocktail sauce for shrimp, and Horseradish sauce!! I found sugar added to dry roasted and salted sunflower seeds!! Cutting sugar out of your diet should be your highest priority. Doing so, however, may be near to impossible. The only cottage cheese I’ve found that is made from only skim milk, cream and cultures is Daisy. Everybody else adds some sort of sweetner. Reply ↓
Dan F. October 3, 2018 at 6:31 pmWhat about milk it contains the milk sugar lactose. Is milk alright to drink? Reply ↓
Recipe Team October 7, 2018 at 4:21 amHi Dan: Milk is fine to drink. We just limit added sugars for this detox. Reply ↓
Recipe Team October 7, 2018 at 4:20 amHi Dan: We try to limit any type of “sweetener” during the detox, therefore stevia should be used in small amounts. Reply ↓

Claire farnell July 27, 2018 at 11:51 amI started my sugar, gluten and dairy detox 4 weeks ago. I’ve lost a healthy 10 lbs already. My skin is glorious. I’ve stopped craving sugar altogether. Pains in my joints are going. Day 10-14 were the worst detox days. The headaches were shocking. It’s quite unbelievable how much hidden sugar is in so much of our foods. Reply ↓

Aaron Stevens April 4, 2018 at 8:47 amWe’re trying to implement the sugar detox challenge in our workplace and the following questions have come up. 1) Is vodka okay? There’s no sugar in vodka, so why not allow it? 2) In terms of the “limit foods” section, what’s the definition of “limit”? Is one of each of these items per day okay? Or is it one of these per day? Thank you! Reply ↓
Recipe Team April 5, 2018 at 3:12 amHi Aaron: That’s great that you are implementing our challenge at work! All alcohol, including vodka, should be limited for the 7 days. Even if vodka doesn’t have sugar, it’s still an alcohol that can affect your liver as well as your will power-so for the 7 days we omit it. After the 7 day challenge, vodka and other alcohols should be used in moderation (and be careful about not adding in sugary juices or other mixers). In terms of the limit foods, it depends on which ones. Some you should limit in how many items you have per day-such as the high glycemic fruits. Others you should limit in quantiy-such as cheese (only a small portion per day). Good Luck! Reply ↓

Anonymous March 1, 2017 at 11:50 amWhat about Xylitol?And why do you feature recipes on your site that are loaded with sugar– easy no bake chocolate PB bars, really? A little tempting for those avoiding sugar, no? Reply ↓
Recipe Team March 5, 2017 at 4:41 pmHi thanks for you comments. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that cannot be digested by the body. While this makes it a zero-calorie sugar substitute, the effects on the body are unclear. Because it can’t be metabolized, it can build up in the digestive tract and cause harmful bacteria to ferment there, causing intestinal discomfort, bloating, etc. Research has shown stevia is a safe sugar substitute, but the research on xylitol is unclear. As far as the recipes, we offer a variety of options that people can choose from. If you are looking for only sugar free recipes, we have many recipes on Further Food that can help you stick with your sugar free diet. Reply ↓
Recipe Team February 18, 2017 at 4:55 amHi Maggie: We recommend only limited quantities of Stevia. It is over 200x sweeter than sugar, so use only small amounts. Also be careful to select something that is all natural and avoid purchasing altered/highly processed stevia products, such as Truvia. You can read more about stevia and other sweeteners in this article: http://www.furtherfood.com/no-sugar-detox-diet-artificial-all-natural-sweeteners-substitutes-key-facts-to-know/ Reply ↓
