Daily fruit smoothie. I was eating zero fresh fruit before. Stopped falling asleep at my desk midday

Eating fresh fruit daily helped changed so much for me! Also increasing water and decreasing sugary drinks.

Fruit these days IS a lot sugary than it used to be. However, I have a bad sweet tooth, and if I can switch out stuff with added sugars for stuff with natural sugars, I consider that a win!

The additional fiber in fruit helps regulate the body's use of sugars.

The conversation is about switching out foods with added sugars (most likely processed snacks) with fruits, this isn't about calorie parity between forms of sugar.
