Remember the non-fat diets in the 80’s? Those diets caused more obesity and diabetes than decades of eating fat in our diet. Good news: eating natural fats is good for you (hello bacon!). Bad news: those non-fat diets lead to tons of added sugar in our food. It’s actually SUGAR that makes you fat. But reducing your sugar to less than 50 grams a day will make a big difference in your body (and waistline).
