Admitedly I do have some fat on me. A bad back and lack of enough exercise over years will do that to you. Or just being a webmaster. :D
But I don't use sugar. I sweeten my coffee with either a quarter teaspoon of molasses or a similar amount of honey which is about 7 times sweeter than sugar but metabolizes in your body a lot easier.
I don't put sugar on my cereal. I eat only whole grain unsweetened cereals and I put about a teaspoonful of "Super Reds" over it, along with 1% milk. Super Reds is a berry extract in powder form and it adds a great flavor to the milk and cereal. Sugar is not missed one iota here.
Pure unsweetened fruit juice too, I drink some every day.
Have no idea how close I'd be to that 15g per day thing, but I know I'm not as far from it as most people. Nor am I as fat as I could be if my diet wasn't what it is. As luck would have it I actually like healthy foods.
