And there’s the clue to achieving weight loss. A low carbohydrate diet is better for you than low calorie and you scarcely know you are on a diet if you follow it. I could never follow a low calorie diet - that just drains your energy and makes you feel very hungry.
A low carb diet is easy to follow and works like a dream. That’s the only diet I would recommend.
And to get back to sugar - it’s the added sugar you need to avoid. Naturally occurring sugar in food should not be a problem.
The reason you have to be careful about ‘no sugar’ food is because of what the manufacturers put in as a substitute. Better to avoid processed foods altogether if you can.
