Avoid Hidden Sugars.

Research shows that more than 300 calories of our daily energy intake comes from added sugar. That’s almost 20 teaspoons a day. And some of that sugar is being sneaked into your diet in places you’d never think to look, like lunch meat, salad dressing and bread.
A good rule of thumb is to skip products that list any type of sugar among their first four ingredients. By staying clear of foods with unnecessary added sugars, you’ll cut calories, shed pounds, and reprogram your taste buds so they stop craving super sweet foods.
