There’s nothing wrong with eating some sugar, but eating too much can be dangerous to your health. In recent decades we’ve seen the rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes skyrocket in people of all ages, and research has shown it’s directly connected to too much sugar in the diet. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar daily for women, and no more than 9 teaspoons for men, but most Americans end up eating twice that amount.
Cutting down on your daily sugar intake isn’t as hard as you may think. This 1-day meal plan will show you just how easy it can be to eat a day’s worth of delicious meals totally free of added-sugars. You’ll still see naturally occurring sugar from things like fruits and dairy, but these aren’t the sugars you need to worry about-you’d have to eat a whole lot to eat too much sugar, plus they provide important vitamins and minerals that help to keep us healthy. Once you conquer this 1-day plan, move on to our 7-Day Clean-Eating Vegetarian Meal Plan at 1200 calories
