Condiments: Which to Enjoy, Which to Avoid
Condiments can add flavor and excitement to food,
but be sure you dress your food for success! This
means choosing condiments with no added sugars or
unhealthy trans fats. Ketchup, for example, is loaded
with sugar, as are some salsas and steak sauces.
Always read labels carefully, and select only those
products made with good fats, like extra-virgin olive
oil or canola oil, and no added sugars. Consider this
list of condiments to enjoy and avoid:
Enjoy:
Mustard
Horseradish
Hot sauce
Pesto
Vinegars

Worcestershire sauce (limit yourself to only 1
tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, since it's made
with molasses)
Sour cream (light and reduced-fat versions)
Cream cheese (reduced-fat or light)
Trans-fat-free margarine
Sugar-free jams and jellies
Sugar-free syrups
