What I have discovered is that store-bought mayo stalls me unless it's sugar-free.
Also, when you are counting your carbs, it's not the grams of sugar you should be careful about when reading the label, but the amount of net carbs -- net carbohydrate is what we are counting on Atkins. Some of the sugar listed on the label is naturally occurring in foods -- you only have to be cautious about added sugar (listed among the ingredients).

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
