Condiments: Which to Enjoy, Which to Avoid (South Beach)

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
Soy sauce
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

Enjoy the following condiments, but be sure to choose products made without added sugars. Check labels carefully!

Spaghetti sauce
Salsa
Steak sauce
Mayonnaise (choose a regular full-fat or low-fat variety)

Avoid:
Barbecue sauce
Ketchup (look for varieties made with no added sugars)
Cocktail sauce (look for varieties made with no added sugars)
Teriyaki sauce
Honey mustard
Regular jellies and jams
Maple syrup

Thanks for the refresher Lucky. I was starting to get too comfortable again!

Real wasabi is not horseradish- most "wasabi" sold in the US is really horseradish dyed green, though. But the real thing is also very, very low in carbs.:alc:

wasabi is horseradish... the japanese horseradish

What typically passes for "wasabi" in most establishments is a mixture of horseradish, food coloring, mustard, corn starch and sadly, is a mere shadow of the real deal.

Real wasabi is really expensive

But real wasabi is worth ever cent you pay for it. It can be gotten here and Whole Foods sells a pretty good one as well.
