Salad Dressing

[Mirya]

Diet Rite sodas ared made with splenda and have a lot of flavors.

You have to check the net carbs on the back of any food you eat to include the dressings. I am not sure of the nutitional value but if it has added sugar your probably going to be better off wih something like Walden Farms or Kens, Wishbone also has low net carb dressings.

For my salad dressing I found Marie's Chunky Feta. No Sugar and 1 Carb (from the sour cream I suppose?) SO GOOD!!!!

I either make my own (blue cheese or crumbled gorgonzola with olive oil, just shake it up and voila...) or if I buy I use Annie's Natural's brand, it's organic and a lot of the dressings are not just sugar free but vegan and gluten free. Also if you have a Sunflower Market near you, they have their own store brand with a lot of organic sugar free salad dressings.

Here is a list of hidden sugars to watch out for:

• white sugar
• brown sugar
• icing sugar
• invert sugar
• beet sugar
• concentrated fruit juice
• syrup
• sorghum
• corn syrup
• high fructose corn syrup
• maple syrup
• honey
• molasses
• brown rice syrup
• rapadura
• cane juice
• evaporated cane juice
• maltodextrin
• dextrin
• saccharin
• aspartame
• all fruit juice concentrates, including apple and pear
• all "ose" including Dextrose, Fructose, Lactose, Glucose, Maltose and Sucrose
• **if anyone knows any more please add to the list!

It's sad, but sooooo many products contain 1 of these. I just steer clear of any product containing any of these altogether. If you have a health food store near you, you can find some good organic, sugar free products there. With groceries being super expensive these days, the cost of organic vs. regular is almost at par.

Good luck! I hope you find one that you enjoy!

I have never seen orgaic dressing that didn't have sugar in them. My health food store has all kinds of "organic" foods but they all have cane sugar, organic molassis. Like organic makes it better.

Yeah, lot's of organic dressings do have sugars, that's why like I said, it's important to read the label. It's a rare find to find organic products without organic sugar, however, when found it's like a rare gem. I think organic products are better, but that's because I would prefer to have my food without pesticides, hormones, sewage, antibiotics etc....
of course, not a debate over regular vs. organic, this is just my personal preference
