Hello, Lovely!
Ketchup is a firm family favorite out of all the condiments, so it's important to find an on-plan alternative!
Ketchup has some natural sugar from the tomatoes and that’s fine to use.
What we’re avoiding is the ADDED sugar many brands contain.
Here are some great examples of on-plan ketchup:

Primal Kitchen | Yo Mama's |
 |  |  |  |
Heinz | Heinz, with Stevia | Simple Truth Organic | Hellmann's |
If ketchup is sweetened with honey (like the Heinz above), it's not ideal for weight loss.
But, if you stick to a small amount and keep it infrequent, it's a better choice than ketchup sweetened with regular sugar.
The Heinz No Sugar Added ketchup has 2 options. One with stevia (on plan) and one with Sucralose (not on plan).
Our Walmarts have both in store, so it could be easy to grab the wrong one.
Look for the green circle that says "Sweetness from plants" and grab that one!
Most kinds of ketchup are laden with sugar. We don’t get too worried if you order a lettuce-wrapped burger with ketchup at a drive-thru here and there, but it’s a great idea to keep a healthier ketchup on hand at home.
