Many diet books and magazines are delivering the same message these days.  Eating too much sugar, preservatives, fast and processed foods is bad for your health and will make you fat.  Oh, and portion sizes ultimately do count.

So other than “eating from the rainbow” what does this mean? Here is one quick thing you can do to make your diet healthier today!

Reduce the amount of sugars you consume (that includes plain table sugar, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, etc.).

Reminding yourself to read labels will be a huge help to you on this.  For example, there are three ingredients in most canned corn; corn, sugar and water.  I’m embarrassed to say that just until recently I did not know what was in canned corn.  I thought that canned corn was sweet naturally. Duh!

So now that you know this, be sure to read labels so you can look for products are made without added sugar, corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup.

Now go run!
