Back on Track!

Welcome to 2010!  I am back on track.  Kids are back in school, healthy food is back on our plates full time and exercise is the priority!  I am sharing this article about SUGAR!  It is imperative that you take this with a grain of salt and I still wouldn't recomment the alternatives for most of the choices, because it is still somewhat of a junky choice, but if you are out and about and would like something or you know you will be having your "cheat" snack it would absolutely be better to make a better choice of the two evils : 0 )

If you are like me and sugar is your down fall, be aware that there is a lot of added sugar in almost EVERYTHING we eat.  There is a heaping tsp of sugar for every 7g. on the food label.  Next, read the ingredient list and see what kind of sugar is in the product.  The ingredient list is in order of how much of each ingredient.  If water is the number 1 ingredient, it is mostly made of water, etc...

your best choices for sugar is those made of natural sugars of course.  Fresh fruit etc...
