Welcome to Sugar Free September 2013 (written by the muesli)

If you joined us last year, welcome back and if this is your first look at SFS we’re thrilled to have you along.

First things first – Sugar Free September isn’t about fundraising, it’s about YOU.  Just try it to see and feel the difference.

Going sugar free is a great step towards smarter eating and healthier living.  That’s what Sugar Free September is all about.

Sugar Free Tip #1

Start the habit to kick the habit!

Get into the habit of using The One Line Rule® and it’s easy to kick the sugar habit!

The One Line Rule®:   On any nutrition panel, check one line, SUGARS. If it’s more than 5g per 100g (5%), move on.

'Australians Are Getting Fatter' (New York Times, July 25, 2013)

We're still 'lucky' but increasingly we're seen as the 'tubby' country. Today, 60% of adult Australians and 25% of children are considered obese. If that wasn't scary enough, these numbers are growing faster than any other industrialised nation.

Excess sugar is one of the key causes. Health authorities warn us about 'sugar filled drinks'. What we hear less about is the sugar in many packaged foods across our supermarket shelves. That's where The One Line Rule® comes in. It's a great way to keep sugar in check and appropriately is Sugar Free Tip #1 in our plan to go sugar free this September.

Here's our SFS plan for success:

Tip #1:  Use The One Line Rule ®:  On any Nutrition panel, check one line, SUGARS. If it's more than 5g per 100g (5%), move on.

Tip #2:  Stock take then stock up. Before filling the pantry with healthy options like The Muesli, chuck out everything that fails The One Line Rule.

Tip #3:  Get fresh. Keep meals simple. Use delicious fresh produce and avoid processed food.

Tip #4:  See, feel, enjoy the difference. There is life after sugar. In fact, most people say they have more energy than ever.

Go sugar free this September. What have you got to lose? Except maybe a kilo or two.

Good luck!
