Here’s a healthy eating tip for every American to follow and it might sound a little familiar.

EAT LESS SUGAR.

The average American currently consumes 56 gallons of soda 152 pounds of sugar-based sweeteners each year.  The rate of soda consumption alone has gone up 70% since the late 1970s.

How much sugar is included in your diet plans?  The answer might surprise you (in a bad way), but it is good to know the truth.

Follow this task for 3 days: figure out and write down how much sugar you consume in grams with each meal, snack, and drink.  Multiply the total from 3 days by 122.  This is how many grams of sugar you eat and drink every year.  Convert that number to cups and leave a comment here letting me know what your amount is.

Healthy eating tips can be scary when you face the harsh truth, but it will help you in the end.
