I am recently discovering that sweet foods may be the source of a lot of illness. Before I knew any better I was trying to get healthy by eating low fat foods. I kept gaining weight, anyway. One doctor happened to mention that even if you eat 0 fat desserts you can still gain a lot of weight from sugar. Additionally, sugar fuels hunger. The more sugar I ate the hungrier I became. After slowly decreasing the amount of sugar I was eating,I began to lose weight. The best part was that I was able to control my cravings. I eventually lost over 20 pounds by cutting down the amount of sugar I was eating. I think as an average adult male about 5' 10" , I should not eat more than 40 - 80 grams of sugar in one day. Excessive sugar can also lead to diabetes.
