Is stevia (the natural sweetener from Whole Foods) good for you or another product we shouldn't be putting in our bodies? Is there really anything wrong with eating real sugar?
What are the top 5 foods that flat our aren't worth it and we should stay away from? Any things that are a MUST not eat!?
Great questions! I, for one, love stevia. It's a plant and offers helpful antioxidants (none of the questionable chemicals that are in other non-caloric sweeteners). I'll go more into the pros/cons in an article soon, but if you're drawn to stevia, I say try it!
As for sugar, no -- nothing wrong with enjoying it in moderation. It doesn't offer nutrients, but it tastes good! ;) Up to 10% of your calories can come from sugar...
What's the deal with separating protein and carbs? And if it's true that we should do that, what kind of carbs are we talking? I understand breads and such, but aren't vegetables carbs? What about sweet potato?
Hi Emily,
Good question...Unless you have a digestive disorder our bodies can digest most all carbs, protein and all food groups whether consumed alone or together. Many healthy foods have various nutrients -- whole grains contain protein, even broccoli contains protein. Dairy products and beans are good sources of protein as well as fiber and carbohydrates. So eat up and be merry. :) I'll explain more in an upcoming IATG article. Thanks for your question! August
