Read labels — right now
You can shirk the sugar starting right now by going to your kitchen and reading the labels of packaged goods in your pantry and fridge. Candy and other sweet junk foods are obvious sources of sugar, but even the seemingly healthful foods, such as juice, nutrition bars, and cereal, may be loaded with sugar. Toss sugar-laden fare and replace with lower sugar alternatives.
Stop adding sugar
Do you sugar your tea and coffee? Sprinkle extra on your oatmeal or cold cereal? If you absolutely need sweet, swap sugar out for natural lower-calorie sweeteners, such as stevia. Use fresh or dried fruit for sweetness in breakfast dishes.
Replace jam with fruit
Smash fresh fruit on your toast instead of slathering on the mostly-sugar jams and jellies.
Juice for your juice
Invest in a juicer and drink real fruit juice instead of the part-sugar, part-juice, part-water juices on the market.
Bake with less sugar
Believe it or not, you can cut the sugar by one-third to one-half in many baking recipes without compromising quality.
Small changes in your diet will lead to big calorie savings over the long haul.
