Episode notes
Find Hidden Sugars On Labels
- Check ingredient lists for hidden sugars like brown rice syrup, corn syrup, glucose, fructose, and agave.
- Prefer homemade food because prepackaged and restaurant foods usually contain more sugar.
Calculate Real Sugar From Net Carbs
- When reading nutrition panels, use total carbohydrates minus fiber to estimate actual sugar content.
- Divide that net-carb number by four to convert grams to teaspoons of sugar per serving.
Limit Fruit And Avoid Cold Turkey
- Avoid fruit or stick to in-season, high-polyphenol berries like raspberries and blackberries.
- Don't quit sugar cold turkey; allow occasional treats such as 4–6 ounces of red wine.
