Let's be honest: life is sweet.
And sometimes a little too sweet.
That mid-afternoon cookie. The "just like that" drink. The innocent smoothie that's practically dessert in a cup.
We're not here to humiliate.
We're here to notice.
Because while sugar gives us instant energy and fleeting joy, too much isn't just reflected on the scale, but also on your skin, mood, sleep, and even how often you run to the bathroom.
