Your homework from the my last article was to examine what you eat in regards to sugar. Let's talk about food for this article (next article will address beverages). Check the labels of your food for sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and anything that ends in "ose." Here are a few examples of things that will surprise you as you read the labels: peanut butter, bread, tomato sauce, cereal, packaged oatmeal, granola bars, applesauce, most packaged fruit. Anything you eat out will have even more sugar added to it. Sugar is in almost everything. Artifical sugar is worse so don't be fooled by sugar free--you are then ingesting a chemical that actually makes you hungrier and is very unhealthy.
Check out your labels and let me know what you find. We are running to be healthier. Don't sabotage yourself by thinking you are eating healthy when actually you are not. I'd rather have my sugar in a piece of cake and move on then in my peanut butter.
Have a great night!
