You could be gaining weight because of this!Did you know that the "total calories" shown on nutrition labels on foods do not include the calories from fibers and sugars? A teaspoon of refined sugar is roughly 4 grams. (Each gram is about 3.87 calories.)
Therefore, a product which contains 12 grams of sugars per serving would translate into approximately 3 teaspoons of sugars per serving, providing on average, an additional 46 calories (which is not spelled out for you). So for example, if sugars are listed as 16 grams, you should multiply that amount by 3.87, which equals to 62 calories; that's 4 teaspoons of sugars per serving. Wow! That's a lot of sugar you did not know about! Want another quick tip for healthy weight loss? Click here.

It is starving to be replenished and will quickly absorb anything good, or bad, that you feed it.
