Cut out sugar where you can.

 

尽可能少吃糖

 

I used to be a dessert fiend.Cupcakes, ice cream, brownies, if you put it in front of me, I would most definitely eat it.

 

And growing up, I drank some sort of juice at every single meal (being mildly lactose intolerant meant instead of milk, it was OJ at breakfast, OJ at lunch, and OJ at dinner).

 

But the more I learned about how too much sugar affects the body -- and how it manages to sneak¹ into all the non-dessert-like foods I also eat -- the more I realized I had to wean myself off the sweet stuff.

 

So I started small. Instead of dumping sugar into coffee, I slowly trained myself to go milk-only. (Now,coffee with sugar just seems too sweet.) Instead of drinking juice and soda² with meals, I opt³ for water (and on that note, I don't keep any beverages⁴ besides water in my fridge at home).

 

I don't buy cakes or cookies from the store, so I'm not tempted⁵ to eat them at 10 p.m. when I'm in my apartment.Don't get me wrong, I'll still indulge in a slice of birthday cake or some ice cream. But those are treats, and I've realized that treats are not meant to beeaten all day every day.
