Cleaning up your diet starts with scouring your kitsch for items laced with added sweeteners.

As sugar consumption increased, so did waist measurements. “Sweeteners deliver empty calories and encourage overeating,” says Chris Mohr, Ph.D., R.D. a sports nutritionist in Louisville, “both of which lead to weight gain.”
