SweetLeaf® offers tools for people to make healthier dietary choices
GILBERT, AZ (December 15, 2020) – Worried about gaining a few pounds over the holidays? Who isn’t! Forbes says the average holiday dinner packs a whopping 4,000+ calories, and that doesn’t even include the 3,100+ calories that New Year’s Eve brings. Add to that, all the snacking we do on holiday-related treats, plus the average three-pounds of sugar we eat each and every week throughout the year. Gaining weight is practically inevitable.
In a normal year, holiday weight gain is difficult enough to avoid. This year, according to the Mayo Clinic and Yale School of Medicine, we’ve got even more to contend with: Quarantine 15. What is Quarantine 15? It’s the 15 pounds that most of us will gain from being stressed and bored while staying home for an extended period of time. Harvard Medical School lists sugar as one of the prime contributors to Quarantine 15 weight gain.
What can be done to avoid putting on too many holiday and quarantine pounds? Happily, SweetLeaf can lower sugars, carbs, and calories in foods, beverages and recipes to help manage weight gain throughout the holiday season — and also help if you’re home for more than just the holidays.
Here’s to celebrating the end of 2020 and welcoming 2021 by eating healthier foods and lowering the amount of sugars we consume. It’s easier than you think when you replace sugar with SweetLeaf Sweetener products. SweetLeaf has zero calories, zero sugars, and zero carbs. Their award-winning taste will make the switch easy without giving up the sweetness you enjoy. These four delicious recipes are an excellent start to a healthier lifestyle in 2021.
