4 Tips to Eliminate Processed Sugar
- Read Labels Carefully: Look for hidden sugars in ingredient lists. Common names include high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, and maltose.
- Choose Natural Sweeteners: Opt for honey, maple syrup, or dates instead of refined sugar. It is really easy to swap out processed sugar for natural sugars.
- Cook at Home: Prepare meals and snacks at home to control the ingredients.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help curb sugar cravings.
