What’s so shocking about sugar?• Sugar adds an average of 16% of the calories in the
Standard American diet (Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010)
Based on a 1,800- to 2,600-calorie diet, this equals 18 to 26 teaspoons of extra sugar a day
These extra calories from sugar may lead to:• Weight gain• Type 2 diabetes• Impaired immune system• Chronic diseases such as cancer & heart

Liquid vs. Food Calories
A 32 oz. cola has 400 calories
That’s the same amount of calories as: 2 bagels 1 1/2 c macaroni & cheese 1 taco & 1 enchilada 1 roast beef sandwich 3 bowls of cereal & milk 7 pancakes 5 c chicken noodle soup 2 brownies

What does it take to burn 400 calories?
Running a 9-minute (6.7 MPH) mile for 35 minutes
Circuit training or boot camp for 40 minutes
Zumba class for 45 minutes
If you don’t burn those 400 calories, you could gain 41.7 pounds in a year!
