[Wirrallass]

I don't actually live with him at the moment and when we do stay together he's up and away to work before I'm up haha x

Sorry to hear that Kaylz, apologies, hope I didn't upset you by mentioning him😉 Hope the burns on your knuckles heal quickly, I know how easy it is to catch them on a hot grill or oven. x take care & look after yourself x

This is what I ate yesterday, but it's not broken into meals because I was focusing on Carbs & Glycemic Load... I was aiming for 80g carbs (failed) and under 100 for GL and the 'mixed meals' were unknown so I don't know what to do about those...

Cheerios GL for 20g = 12
Skim milk GL for 200ml = 2
Blueberries GL for 15g = 1
Natural Yoghurt for g =4.5
Chopped up apple GL for 110g = 4
boiled egg GL for one egg = zero?
Mayonnaise GL for 10g = zero?
Black turtle beans GL for 50g = 3
Green beans GL for 100g = unknown?
Wiltshire meal = unknown, mixed meal
(116g carbs) (Thus the 9.5 FBG today)

What kind of Hellmann's mayonnaise have you been using as the recipe for the Real Mayonnaise hasn't changed x

Aargh, I've just checked my jar, yes, it has sugar in it. Never though to check before! It's regular, normal Hellmanns.
Only 1.3g per 100, so not going to have too much effect, but why put it in at all?

 

[Wirrallass]

They also do a smooth caramel flavour and a vanilla but I haven't found that one to try yet, they taste even better with a couple of teaspoons of double cream rather than milk too 🙂 x

Mmmmmm!

I just use ordinary Hellman's but it didn't used to have sugar in it I'm sure because I remember the Americans on our Atkins page being proper miffed because theirs did have sugar in and the photo I took of our UK Hellman's label didn't have sugar. Now it does say sugars.

 

[Kaylz]

Since at least last year it has been the same, all mayonnaise has sugar in it with Tesco Organic and the Hellmann's real mayonnaise being the ones with the least in x

 

[Ditto]

I'll be having olive oil instead then once I've got through this giant jar.

Why, I see you had 1/2 cup tomato at somepoint which if using american terms works out to about 100g a typical 80g tomato can have around 2.5g sugar, the mayonnaise won't do you any harm and I certainly could never give it up x

With regard to the mayo discussion, I make my own, so I know what's in it. And I always put a pinch of sugar in it because it's traditional. It takes the edge off the sharpness of the vinegar. If it weren't there, it wouldn't taste right. It's not there for fun, or to irritate diabetics. If you don't like even a trace of sugar, don't eat mayonnaise.

As Robin says, it's hardly any, and very unlikely to have any significant effect, even if you drank the whole flaming bottle.
