WHEN YOU WANT to eat less sugar, you can put yourself through a whole cold turkey situation. Or, you can do it a much less painful and likely more successful way. And that’s where our 30-Day Eat Less Sugar Challenge comes in.

Every day, you do something that takes a little bit out, strategically, so you’re not craving it. You’re not hating it. And at the end of 30 days, you’re eating a lot less sugar. Smart move, because sugar isn’t just empty calories any more. Science has found that too much sugar day in and day out can lead to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and inflammation.

Sugar is everywhere these days, from your breakfast—and we don’t just mean doughnuts…it’s even in bread—to that last bite of chocolate fudge brownie at night. It’s everywhere in between, too, hidden in seemingly savory foods like pasta sauce and crackers.

While that means it’s easy to eat too much of, it also means that when you want to eat less sugar, it’s easier to do than you think it’s going to be. Especially if you have our 30-day plan.
