15g sugar?

Yep agreeing with other posters here, I think 15g is a bit extreme!

I'm trying to cut refined sugar out of my diet, but there's no way I would put a specific number restriction on it because sugar occurs naturally in so many healthy things. What I'm avoiding is anything processed with "sneaky" sugar additives and of course adding sugar to any drinks etc.

I want to eat as naturally as possible and as a result this is cutting out overly treated or processed foods, which is where most added sugar/sugar derivatives are anyway! I always found low fat stuff was really unsatisfying and never kept me full. It makes so much sense now, LOADED with sugar substitutes and chemicals. I'm by no means perfect on this approach, but it just makes much more sense to me. Different strokes for different folks!
