Well, good morning, everyone.

Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

I'm Carolyn Hudson, and I'm one of your hosts today.

I'm a licensed dietitian nutritionist, and I've been practicing nutrition and dietetics for the past 40-plus years.

Good for you.

But I officially retired from actually just seeing clients at Nutritional Weight and Wellness last

November.

But as you hear, I'm here today on the show.

I love doing the radio show.

And I still do occasional corporate training classes as well.

So you might say that I know a thing or two about nutrition and eating real food.

In all of our classes, we teach about the danger of excess sugar and where sugar is hiding in processed foods. Our co-host, dietician Teresa Wagner, also knows a lot about sugar and

where it is hiding in our foods.

And recently, Teresa helped nutritional weight and wellness conduct a sugar challenge

for all of our radio and podcast listeners.

Teresa, I understand that you helped many listeners get off sugar.

So I'd like you to tell us a little bit about the sugar challenge itself and maybe

some of the success stories. You know, I really like the comment one participant made midway through

the challenge. She said, before day one of the challenge, and I got to quote this here because it was really cool,

I would eat sugar nonstop, having two to three coques a day, eating maybe jelly beans throughout

the day and endless amounts of sugar for as far back as I can remember. Now keep in mind, this was like on day three
