DO: Put it in yourself

Did you know a medium double-double at Tim Hortons contains upwards of 22 g of sugar, almost your entire recommended daily allowance? That’s right: If you take your coffee with sugar and someone else sweetens it, you’re probably consuming way more sugar than you bargained for.

Sugar detox strategy: Next time you order a cup of joe, sweeten it yourself using a sugar packet. Not only will you know exactly how much is being used, but you can also reduce the amount over time.
