The impact of pure sugars on the diet is limited and so the calories introduced by these foods are often called empty calories. The more complete foods provide more value for the calories they contain. We gain weight because we consume more calories than our bodies use. The cornerstones of a good weight management program are diet and exercise. No, not dieting , but diet, the sum total of the foods we consume from day to day and week to week.
Carbohydrates are a vital part of a sensible weight management program.
It's a matter of how much sugar you eat. You've heard it a hundred times before, but the key to healthy living and eating is to do all things in moderation. If you are serious about exchanging poor eating habits for sound ones, contact your physician or a nutritionist for assistance in planning a new life-style. A low fat or nutritional cooking class is another excellent tool to help you down the path to healthful eating. But, most of all enjoy what you do.
