Are You Eating Too Much Sugar?

Too much sugar in your diet can lead to weight gain, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease and increase your risk of developing a lot of other health problems.

Let me show you how to find and avoid the highest sugar foods in your diet.

Everyone knows that cookies, cakes, donuts, soda and candy are high in sugar. But did you know that you could still be eating a high sugar diet even if you don't touch those foods?

The average American eats between 2-3 times the recommended amount of sugar in a day. Too much sugar can lead to diabetes, obesity, kidney disease and high blood pressure. So, in this week's video I am going to show you how to find the hidden sugar in the foods that you eat and how to eat a lower sugar diet without giving up your favorite foods: unless your favorite food is candy.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.

The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
