Carbs & Sugar

Hidden Carbs

Carbohydrates sneaking into sauces, seasonings, and packaged foods you would not expect.

Hidden carbs are the grams that slip in through sauces, marinades, spice blends, processed meats, and anything with added sugar or starch. They are a common reason people stall. Reading labels and counting total carbs on the Proper Human Diet keeps them from adding up.
