Sugar-Free Lent: Day Nine!
This Sugar-Free Lent Challenge just not only keeps me thinking about sugar, it started my husband off as well.
After watching me do all the research, reading food labels and getting the figures nobody is usually looking at, he was quite intrigued to find out how much sugar he is actually eating on an average day.
So every time he had a cup of tea he put two teaspoons of sugar which he takes in his tea into a little jar. By the end of the day he added the amount for the biscuits he had that day and weighed the whole amount.
It was quite surprising that this added up to 62 extra grams of sugar in his diet on top of what was in the food (which he couldn't track, or count as from the marmalade he has on his sandwich) he has eaten as well and wasn't even aware of the amount of sugar in there.
So how much sugar have YOU eaten today????
This is brown sugar, the sugar my husband normally uses.
