I think not because it could be sweetened with somrthing else,,, like nutrasweet or some other product.

I think unsweetened & no sugar added is the same thing. That being said , things could still have natural sugars in them like can fruit. No sugar would be called sugar free.< /p>

I could be wrong but thats how I undetstood it.

Yes, I agree with Mis73. If up until now you have not been a nutritional label reader, now is a great time to get into the habit. You will be surprised what you sometimes discover about what's in the package.

There are hidden carbs and increased levels of sodium in many processed foods. As part of my healthier eating habits, I try to stay away from processed foods, as the additives read like a chemistry book.

Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and basic lean Proteins are my focus. I only shop the periphery of the grocery store, in the produce, dairy and meat sections, skipping the bakery. That way I know what I'm eating...

No sugar added is definitely better than sugar added but there is often still carbs and some sort of sugar in the product. For example, I am drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast - no sugar added. It is much less calories than the regular but still has carbs and 70 calories per packet (I believe). It is a good alternative just have to know there are still calories and carbs in it.

No sugar added means they did'nt add any. As previously mentioned an ingredient may intrinsically have sugar. fruit at the bottom of my 0% fat Greek yogurt contains natural sugar. Personally not worried about that. Considering I used to eat half a bag of mini Dove bars in one setting.

And sometimes they don't consider fructose or corn Syrup as sugar and we all know it's sugar by another name.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
