It's hard to get away from. Unless you're having plain salad/meat meals every time, you're getting an overload of sugar in one way or another.

A lot of salad dressings have sugar in them, and they add sugar (corn syrup) to most sausage and some bacon now too.

I think you missed the part about “plain salad”. As soon as you add dressing, you’ve shot yourself in the foot.

It's not correct to conflate complex and simple carbohydrates into "sugars", as the complex ones have a significantly different profile.
