Too Much Sugar?!

Is anyone else having trouble with their sugar intake?
I've noticed that as a rule it seems that anything that is low in fat tends to be higher in sugar to try and make it taste nicer.

I'm over my sugar amount everyday, I dont add sugar to anything and I've changed my morning breakfast to reduce the sugar intake but I'm at a loss as to what else to cut out.
A lot of my sugar is from fruit and I guess the rest must be from me trying to be better by eating low fat options!

Has anyone else had the same problem or have any suggestions please?

    Skip the low fat stuff, if you're getting healthy IE not trans fats, but more omega 3's, olive oil etc its not that big a deal, we NEED healthy fats.

    I don't mind sugar from fruit, especially since I used to get a lot more from multiple chocolate bars etc.

    I have the same problem. You are right though....if you look at anything "low fat", sugar is usually one of the first 3 ingredients. I am curious if anyone else has any suggestions.
