by Danielle Omar, MS, RD
Let’s talk sugar. At this point, we all know that excess sugar isn’t good for your health. It’s linked to diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, obesity, and more - and we’re all looking for ways we can cut it back without swearing off dessert forever.
When you have a sweet tooth, eating healthy and avoiding excess sugar can seem impossible. The key to cutting it out is to have a plan of attack: learning alternatives that work for you to help you ditch the sugar while still feeling satisfied is the best way to make a habit out of it.
