AnswerSugar is not the only thing that is "sugar". Sugar can be hidden in the ingredients: high fructose corn syrup, etc. Carbohydrates are broken down by the body into sugars too. So, in order to lose some excess weight, stay away from foods that contain white flour or enriched, bleached, or unbleached flour. Eat whole grain and 100% whole wheat bread/pasta. No white potatoes, sweet potatoes are better for you. Food with a high GI (glycemic index) are the foods that are the culprit of weight gain. To learn more about glycemic index and figure out what foods have too high of a glycemic index (>80)you can go to this website: http://www.glycemicindex.com
Good luck!
