What would I share with a client who I my counseling on modifying the sugar/total carbohydrates in the diet? Limit Limit snack and sweets Increase Increase nutrient dense foods Consume Consume smaller portions of foods and beverages that contain higher sugars Try Try unsweetened or no sugar added versions Use Use spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice to enhance the sweetness of food Avoid Avoid added sugars on the ingredient list Switch Switch from refined to whole grain versions of foods like pastas, cereals, and breads Reduce Reduce the amount of sugar to be around 1/3 to 1/2 Increase Increase Dietary Fiber Choose Choose fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, peas, nuts and seeds
Experiment with various natural sweeteners or alternatives to sugar such as: fruits or vegetables and honey or maple syrup Recommendations on this non- nutritive sweetener modification recipe Try something once you never know, you might like it! To add more protein to this modified brownie recipe, you could add walnuts
