[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m new to this thread, OP, but am glad to have found it.  I don’t eat a ton of added sugar but need a reset after the holidays (I love to bake, so lots of cookies and treats), which seemed to linger into January.  I’ve gotten into the habit of a small amount of vanilla syrup in my morning coffee and granola with yogurt.  Skipped the syrup today as a start and will find alternatives to the granola, too.  I have whole milk Greek yogurt with no added sugar, so that’s fine.

Anyway, onward![/quote]

Welcome! I am working to reduce the brown sugar in my oatmeal. Today, I cut up 1/2 a banana and just added a tiny touch of sugar. Every little bit helps! Granola is a danger zone for me. I had to stop buying it. I love granola, but it is full of added sugar. I've tried making it with less sugar but it's not good. Instead, I use roasted chopped pecans from Trader Joe's. Nice crunch, no sugar. This thread is not about zero added sugar, it's about reducing to the recommended level under 25 g for women with a few "cheat days" now and again. The 24 grams allows for the vanilla syrup or the granola IF that is how you want to spend your added sugar. If you want to save it all up for cookies after dinner watching the Grammy's like I did last night, totally ok. Of course zero added sugar is probably best, but it's not realistic for the long term. I can't live on roasted organic vegetables, which seem to be the only thing we agree on is healthy food :)[/quote]
