To keep up with my monthly goals I decided to work on reducing my high fructose corn syrup. The verdict is still out in regards if it is Ok to eat or not, but I have decided to see if limiting it would help me to be healthier.
Sweets will be harder for me as it's my birthday month and Valentine's Day :)
So this month I will focus on natural sweets and decrease processed sweets. It's interesting because I don't consume a lot of natural sweets, I have learned my favorite sweetener is not recommended anymore... agave nectar. So this month I will reduce the use of agave nectar and also find a substitute sweetener by the end of the month.

It is important to read labels in general and that is where most people can begin to make changes. So all labels I can read I will avoid high fructose corn syrup. Wish me luck!

Hope all is well with everyone and each and all are reaching your goals.
Please share I look forward to hearing from you.
