Currently the US government has a Recommended Daily Allowance of 1,752 Sugar Calories or around 9 cups of sugar.

For years, experts, including government officials and health agencies have been telling us that cutting overall calories is the key to weight loss, and that ending obesity is a simple matter of counting calories. THEY WERE WRONG.. The new dietary science reveals that carbs like whole grain bread, couscous, and even brown rice are actually loaves, stacks and piles of SUGAR! You read it correctly, CARBS ARE SUGAR.

According to Harvard University School of Public Health (as well as many other sources*), “The basic building block of every traditional carbohydrate is a sugar molecule, a simple union of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.” Put simply, all CARBOHYDRATES are actually structured as SUGARS. Foods containing carbohydrates break down just like sugar in your body, which raises insulin and causes weight gain. This is why Sugar Calories are the ONLY calories you need to count.
