We have been discussing what is sugar. With this long list of foods that are high in sugar, you may be wondering what the big deal is. Some of these foods may be your favorites or even a staple of your diet.
However, if you want less fat on your body, you need less sugar in your diet. Dr. Christiane Northrup discusses how “sugar makes us fat.” Our bodies take the sugar in all of these foods and quickly converts it into fat and stores it for energy to be used later.
We run into problems when our bodies never need that extra energy because we are over feeding it daily. In this state, the scales climb quickly as our health declines just as quickly. By watching our total sugar intake, we can turn this around by getting the weight off and improving or health.
