'I had no idea I was eating this much sugar and how it was affecting my body and my mood.'
This information was swirling through my head, so I decided to take a quick glance at the nutrition label of the margarita mix we used to make our drinks. I was shocked to learn that in one, I had nearly doubled the AHA's recommended limit, not to mention the added sugar I must have consumed earlier in the day.
At that moment I decided that it may be beneficial to see how much added sugar I was really consuming on a regular basis, and find out if it was possible for me to cut back in order to meet the recommended limits.I tracked my added sugar consumption for about three days to get an idea of how much I was eating on average. Here's an example of what I was eating and how much sugar I consume on a regular day.
I noticed that the sneakiest items were beverages like the iced vanilla latte and the Phony Negroni. It's easy for me, and I'm sure many other people, to forget to take my drink choices into consideration. But as you can see, these played a huge role in increasing my total count for the day. I wanted to try cutting back on sugar for just one week, and knowing that I was going to have to take 77 grams of added sugar down to around 25 felt like quite a daunting task. However, the way my body and mind felt after a week ended up absolutely being worth it.Then I stuck to the recommended amount of added sugar
The AHA and the CDC have slightly different numbers for recommended added sugar intake, but because the AHA's is a bit lower, I wanted to attempt theirs to see if I was able to accomplish it. Here is an example of what a day looked like with me trying to cut back on sugar.
