DH is very addicted to sugar. He'll try ANYTHING to sneak it past me.
I can't make him take accountability himself, because he has a brain injury and the sugar problem is linked to that.
I'm trying to understand a low sugar diet, but I'm very confused. How do I read labels for added sugar?
Does low sugar mean low carb?
Is under 5g on a label really the magic number the NHS says?
DH very healthy weight. Really shouldn't lose more. Doesn't do exercise per se (physical disability) but on his feet a lot of the day.
This is ultimately all going to fall to me. DH happy to try it. But I need to organise it all/set it up.
We very rarely eat cake, biscuits, pudding. Hardly eat potatoes. Cook mostly from scratch.
Absolutely loves rice.
He's coeliac, if that makes a difference?
Thank you.

What’s the reason for the diet?

I agree that low carb is not what you want here unless you’ve been medically advised. I think you want to be avoiding added sugars and trying to go with lower GI carbs like pulses and brown rice. That should help with cravings.

Thank you.
He's concerned he'll be hungry without things like rice.
