Suggest 3 ways that you could reduce your intake of refined sugars each day and replace these with more fiber in your daily eating plan
The first step might be to become familiar with the other names for sugar such as honey, molasses, dextrose, etc. One can read the labels of foods eaten to see if they contain large amounts of sugar. If sugar is listed toward the beginning of the ingredients list, it is a large contributor to the weight of the food. To replace white bread with whole-grain bread to increase fiber, one can read the food label to confirm that fiber-containing grains are listed at the beginning of the ingredients list.
The second step might be to replace one sweet treat such as a donut with a piece of fruit. The fruit still contains sugar and is sweet but it also will provide more fiber and vitamins. Small daily changes in eating will be easier to maintain and build upon.
One can also eat more beans with meals, because beans provide a lot of fiber and will be filling. This will reduce the urge to eat foods that are sweet and have less fiber.
