No- Low Sugar 2 Week Challenge

If you haven't figured it out as of yet. I'm a Fitness Advocate in training. I truly believe diet is the key in maintaining your chronic issue. Starting tomorrow, I'll start my no to low sugar challenge to shed some weight. I'll make a meal dairy and cut some foods that lead to the harsh sugar element, that does cruel things for someone dealing with myeloma.

I'll also share a few recipes on this journey and hope to report of declined weight.

Foods With Sugar:

• Cola.
• Sweetened cereals.
• White bread.
• Candy.
• Granola/energy Bars—up to 25 grams for one bar.
• Juice and other sweetened beverages.
• Bakery Items (muffins, cookies, etc)
• Frozen yogurt and ice cream.

A lot of the above are not in my diet anyway, so this shouldn't be too cumbersome.

I wanted to do this challenge not only to lose some weight that has increased with the multiple cocktail of treatments that I am on, but to also stir away from any diabetic problems that tend to progress with high sugar intake- My motto "Intake with Moderation".

What Our Goals Should Be- 

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are:

• Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons).
• Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).

With so many foods processed, I'm sure you can imagine we're way over those suggested.
