If you’ve done every diet known to mankind and exercised at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more per session, you expect to lose weight. If you haven’t, high fructose corn syrup as added sugar may be your albatross. Below are some tips to kick the habit.
- Eliminate (or reduce drastically) drinking sodas or store bought juices. Replace with water or unsweetened beverages. (Think zero calories per serving!)
- Read nutritional labels. (If there is added sugar, do your best to find an alternative and similar food. Popular sport drinks have more than 30 grams of sugar in one serving — that’s too much. Yogurts or other breakfast food should be no more than 7 to 10 grams of sugar per servicing.)
- Take it day by day. If you can’t quit cold turkey, slowly wean yourself. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
If you are still skeptical, I challenge you to reduce or remove high fructose corn syrup from your daily diet for 2 weeks. It’s a test. If you see a difference (whether it’s in your clothes fitting looser or on the scale, then you’re on the right track.
