Dr. Katie To says stop tracking sugar grams and count how many times you eat daily instead. Keep a food journal to spot patterns, eat more calories in 30-minute windows to stay full for two hours, and drink plain water between meals to reset your body's pH.
This is exactly where we go to the next question. What to actually do. You're going to count exposures, not grams of sugar. How many times a day are you eating? I tell patients all the time, go ahead and make a little journal, be an observer of your own diet habits or of your children. And if you're finding, oh, I'm hungry every so often, maybe put a lot more calories in those 30-minute windows of meals, and that'll carry you through that 2-hour window. Plain water in between. It's the least expensive pH reset that there is available.
