Processed sugar sugar is typically added to a wide range of foods and drinks to improve their taste. They are commonly used in packaged products, all of which are heavily processed and low in nutrients. Refined sugars can increase your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease or worsen your diabetes condition. So let’s see what steps you should take to cut down on processed sugar.
Step #1: Rethink your drinks. Sugary beverages can be one of the biggest sources of processed sugar intake. For example, a 12-ounce can of soda contains 8 teaspoons of added sugar. Also, drinks that you may consider healthy, such as smoothies and fruit juices, can still contain astounding amounts of it. The worst thing about sweetened beverages is that your body doesn't recognize calories from them in the same way as those from food. Calories from drinks are absorbed quickly, resulting in a rapid increase in your blood sugar level.
Step #2: Try to cook from scratch. I know that for most of you, frozen meals are great timesavers. But they are full of salt, preservatives, and, of course, processed sugars. So try to cook at home when it’s possible. Some recipes may need some added sugar, but you’ll still end up using far less of it than any food company.
Step #3: Don't cut all processed sugar immediately. Do it step by step. For example, you can start cutting out sugary beverages, limiting sugary desserts after a week, and so on. Also, if you usually enjoy your coffee with 2 tablespoons of sugar, try reducing it to 1 tablespoon. Or, if you're baking your treats like cookies, brownies, or cakes, cut the sugar by one-third or even one-half. Doing too many things at once can lead to burnout and, ultimately, failure.
Step #4: Read the food labels. That’s the best way to understand how much sugar is in each product. The product's ingredients are listed by quantity – from highest to lowest amount. For example, if corn syrup is listed in the first few ingredients, the product you're buying will contain a high portion of it. So it's always a good idea to be mindful when eating, especially when decreasing processed sugar intake.
Step #5: Add more fruits to your diet. Do you often add syrup, brown sugar, or chocolate chips into oatmeal or yogurt to make it sweeter? Make the change by adding some fruits or berries to sweeten your meal without adding processed sugar. The sugar found in fruits is a great way to add that extra zing to your dishes and satisfy your sweet tooth.
