I was listening to Inside Out Weight Loss podcast last night and she was talking about food. You know - don't eat HFCS or Trans Fats or processed foods. All of which have been big focuses already for me this year. She also talked about sugar. How eating some sugar can make you want more sugar. And I was like "I am NOT cutting sugar out of my diet". Having a reaction like that made me realized... maybe I DO need to think about sugar and how to cut back a little... perhaps?
So... how? sugar and carbs are listed separate on nutrition labels... what's the difference? What kinds of sugar should I cut out? I eat fruit and I know that is "healthy" sugars. I have noticed the yogurts I like are loaded with sugar... so i am going to look into buying plain chobani/stoneyfield and adding agave or honey or kashi cereal. Where else does sugar hide?
It is just about halloween... and to tell you the truth - the candy isn't calling my name at all. If I want chocolate, I prefer dark, higher quality chocolate. (and lately it isn't sweets calling my name, but crunchy salty things) And pumpkin lattes... mmm... they wisper sweet nothings in my ear... but talk about high sugar.
