Added sugars are often hiding in seemingly healthy foods. Don’t let sneaky sugar sabotage your weight loss success!
- Choose to drink water, calorie-free beverages, herbal tea instead of sugary sodas and drinks
- Choose whole fruits instead of processed desserts and fruit juices.
- When you do drink fruit juice, make sure it’s 100% fruit
- Add fruit to cereal instead of buying sweetened cereal or adding table sugar
- Use sugar-free preserves or fresh fruit to sweeten plain yogurt instead of eating sweetened yogurt with fruit in it
- Snack on vegetables, fruit, low-fat cheese, or whole-wheat crackers
- Choose unsweetened products, such as unsweetened applesauce or nut butters
- Add flavors like vanilla, spices, or citrus to flavor foods and drinks
