Are you planning your festive menus? For many of us, sugar is literally the number 1 ingredient in many dishes, especially if we’re buying ready-made packaged cranberry sauces, turkey gravies, mash potato gravies, cake mixes, stocks, etc.
Being mindful of how dangerous sugar is: yes, even "healthy" forms like coconut, fruit, molasses and unrefined - is incredibly important. This research article will not be welcomed by Big Food, but I'm glad some of us are big advocates of preventative healthcare!
In my coaching practice I guide my ladies on how to reduce and eventually eliminate sugar, without the withdrawal and to replace these with much healthier alternatives that do not spike blood glucose. Benefits? Food enjoyment without weight gain, reduction of sugar cravings, mental clarity and energy!
How do you intend to reduce sugar in your cooking? What will you replace it with? Is it possible to have a healthier lifestyle with kids? ABSOLUTELY!

I know you will not find this research surprising, however, I still think it’s important to highlight studies that show the impact of ultra-processed foods on health outcomes.
This recent study found that cutting 20% of sugar from packaged foods and 40% from beverages could prevent 2.4 million cardiovascular disease events, 490,000 cardiovascular events, and over 700,000 cases of diabetes in the US.
This is massive for what I believe to be small changes. If we reduce our sugar consumption, we can dramatically shift the amount of chronic disease experienced in this country.
