Reduce Sugar Intake To Help Reduce Body Fat

The average American consumes approximately 20 teaspoons of sugar each day and 60 pounds per year. Eating too much sugar is linked to weight gain and heart disease.

If you're interested in losing weight, start reducing your total added sugar intake. Sugar gets stored as fat in the body and is counter productive to weight loss. 

Choose natural sugars found in fruits and vegetables and reduce soft drinks, fruit juices, baked goods, and processed foods.
