If Sugar Is In Everything, What Am I Supposed To Eat?

Sugar: it's in everything we eat, we love it, and it's absolutely killing us. Deaths from type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease have all been linked to sugar intake, and yet our national consumption has never been higher. Thank goodness we had nutrition expert and bestselling author Cynthia Sass on the show to help navigate us through this sugar nightmare. The more I learn about sugar, the fewer things I know that are actually safe to eat! Thankfully, Cynthia gave us a short guide to some of the whole fresh foods that are certified healthy and safe from sugar. Vegetables Most vegetables contain less sugar than fruits, and even those that tend to be sweeter, like carrots or corn, have bundles of nutrients to go with them. Lean Proteins Fresh fish, seafood, responsibly grown chicken, beans and lentils all are low in sugar. Fruit Most women should have two servings of fruit a day (A serving is a tennis ball-sized portion). Men should be having three to four servings a day, as they have a slightly higher requirement for total calories and carbohydrates. Watch my full interview with Cynthia Sass here.
