    We started eating more fruit. Looking at food labels was quite eye opening. There's a lot of sugar that's added to foods that surprised me. Ketchup, salad dressings, peanut butters........

    Post weight loss I'm not as concerned but I quit eating many foods like ketchup and salad dressing. The natural sugars in vegetables and fruits are more than enough sweetness for me.

    Snacks without refined sugar?

    hummus and veggies
    natural peanut butter and veggies
    jerky
    string cheese
    fruit
    nuts
    sunflower seeds
    popcorn
    tortilla chips and salsa, bean dip or guacamole
    boiled or deviled eggs

    Of course, half of those are at least as high if not higher in calories than anything sugary, making the only sensible non-medical reason to try and cut sugar out of your diet moot.

    But they have lasting satiety vs a sugary treat equivalent in calories.

    You eat meals to be sated, not a snack.
