5 Ways to Stop Sugar Cravings

Part of that depends on your body type and how it reacts to sugar. It is recommended to have no more than 1 tbsp of sugar per day (including natural sweeteners like honey, coconut sugar or maple syrup). Shockingly though, most Americans get about 1 cup of sugar per day, about 16 times the recommended amount. This is partially due to the fact that sugar is added to so many packaged foods even if they’re not traditionally considered “sweet” like salad dressing, bread, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and more. It all adds up pretty quickly. >
