18 Smart Ways to Cut Sugar From Your Diet | Nutrition | MyFitnessPal

There are many different ways that you can cut sugar from your diet which will improve overall health. Make sure that you know the different names of sugar such as cane syrup, fructose or honey. You also should be investigating the amount of sugar you’re taking in by using an app like MyFitnessPal. Instead of using sugar to sweeten your breakfast, use fruit and cinnamon.
