Avoiding sugar is surprisingly difficult. When you start reading the labels of the food you buy, you find that sugar is in practically everything. Even those supposedly healthy low fat foods that every Fat Fighters and Weight Watchers chapter encourages you to buy are high in sugar.
While it is certainly a challenge, reducing your sugar intake - or even cutting sugar out of your diet completely - is possible. You just need the right cookbook and the right attitude. If you have both of those things, there’ll be nothing to stand in your way.
The benefits of cutting sugar out of your diet are plentiful and we’re going to be examining some of them in this video. Here are …show more content…
