Is anyone doing the low sugar Jorge Cruise diet? He advocates 15 grams of sugar a day. Myfitnesspal has me set at 24. What I am realizing is that 1 glass of milk puts me at 12, so I am now looking at options for my calcium. What are other people doing about sugar, milk, calcium?

    Try unsweetened dairy milk alternatives; ie: rice, almond, coconut, hemp.
    Personally I'm partial to the almond milk, and I know some brands contain more calcium than dairy milk with 0 grams of sugar.

    Good luck!

    I am trying to do the Jorge Cruize plan, but how do you know what the sugars are.. My fitness pal does not have a categories for sugar.. Is there a way to add that category? I really think this will work. Great food and you can have pizza, tacos, etc...
