Most of us start the new year in an overindulged state- full and lethargic from an 8-week bender of huge meals, holiday parties, cocktails, cookies, and pies. January marks a new beginning for most of us and it’s easy to want to quickly “undo” the last 2 months of rich meals and extra calories.

Sugar. The latest buzz word when it comes to nutrition and healthy eating, and for good reason. We eat and drink waaaaay too much of it. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons/day of sugar for women and 9 teaspoons for men. That is 25 grams and 45 grams respectively. To put these amounts into perspective, 1 can of regular soda has about 8-9 teaspoons (or 39 grams) of sugar!
