This week was all about sugar and the different kinds that are out there.
Basically for weight loss, avoid all those extra carbs and look for protein sources and obtain your sugar sources naturally through fresh fruits and veggies.
Here are some more tips:
- Limit fruit juices, even though they could be all natural, they are very high in calories. Eat the fresh fruit of the juice you want to drink instead.
- Rather than adding syrup to pancakes and waffles, try adding sliced fresh fruit and/or some vanilla low fat yogurt.
- Look to whole grain cereal without added sugars and top with sliced banans, berries or other fruits that you like. This applies to hot cereals like oatmeal too.
- Keep healthy snacks handy like whole fruits/veggies, cut veggies, low fat yogurt, Herbalife protein bars, almonds, etc. so you won’t be tempted to eat sweets.
- Instaed of baked goods for dessert, try frozen bananas. They taste like ice cream when frozen. Add a little chocolate syrup (not hot fudge) and enjoy! Sorbet is a good choice here as well.
- For our kids, really pay attention to what you are feeding them. It is estimated by the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that kids are getting a staggering 29 grams of unrefined sugar per day which is leading to a number of problems and health issues.
