The Truth About Sugar: How to Cut Back Without Feeling Deprived
Sugar is sneaky. It hides in sauces, cereals, and even bread. Here’s how to cut back without losing your sweet tooth:
Check Labels: Sugar wears many disguises, glucose, fructose, corn syrup. Know what you’re buying.
Swap Your Snacks: Choose fruit, dark chocolate, or yogurt with berries instead of candy.
Flavor Naturally: Use cinnamon, vanilla, or a splash of citrus to sweeten up foods.
Don’t Drink Your Sugar: Sodas and fancy coffees are sugar bombs. Go for water, herbal teas, or flavored sparkling water.
Treat Yourself Smartly: A small piece of real dessert is better than a bunch of “low-fat” sugary snacks.
Cutting sugar isn’t about punishment. It’s about feeling awesome.
