Fat Loss & Sugar

I read an excellent article on sugar calories from my online Oxygen Magazine newsletter. I just had to share it with you! I know many of us know how bad too much sugar is for us but we don't always apply that knowledge to real life. Here is one excerpt that should peak your interest & get you to read the full article by clicking on the link below. Here is the excerpt:
  • On average, North Americans drink approximately 355 milliliters or 12 fluid ounces of soda each day – the equivalent to 10 teaspoons of refined sugar. That adds to a weight gain of 12 pounds per year! But that’s not all – that was only soda. The average North American consumes 23 teaspoons of sugar each day! Not looking good for the waistline.

Not only does sugar effect our weight loss goals but it can also lead to health related problems like type 2 diabetes. Please take a look at this article. It will provide some eye opening information that will assist you not only in your weight loss goals but it will lead you to a healthier life.
