So I say first and foremost, read the ingredient label.

And then I say, look at the sugar content, because I think a lot of people get duped by yogurt.

They see organic and healthy and natural.

But a lot of even the organic ones, you turn it around and it'll have like 40 grams of sugar in one serving.

Yeah, exactly.

So what I do is there's a couple brands I know that if I want a flavored yogurt, which I get sometimes, it's really low.

I'll see like eight grams of sugar on there, which I mean is still kind of a lot, but sometimes if you want that.

And I'm sure people have heard this all the time, but I usually just go for the plain.

And if I want a little bit of sweetener, I'll put honey, monk fruit.

And then I add my own fruit at home.

And if you want to make it sugar-free, I'm a huge fan of monk fruit personally.

You can get liquid monk fruit and just mix it in, or you can also just do a little bit of honey.

I know.

And that's another thing that I do think that we should speak to.

So our palates have really been trained to expect things to be so sweet.

And if you really start harnessing that a little bit and tampering, bringing that in, one thing that really helped me is I started taking note of all of the different food products that had sugar in them that I felt like didn't need it.

So for example, your salad dressing usually has sugar in it.

Soup.

Yes, your soups usually they add it.

The pasta sauce.
