Why not take a Sugar Smart challenge yourself during September. Sign up to do one or more of the following:

1) No spoons – Completely cut out added sugar from your diet for the whole of September

2) Healthy balance – Avoid added sugar during weekdays, with moderate treats only during weekends

3) Super 7 – Eat less than the maximum recommended seven teaspoons of added sugar per day. This is a good option to get started on for long term Sugar Smart eating

4) Easing In – Cut out added sugar during working hours – particularly suited to those who are tempted daily by office treats!

5) Set your own Challenge, such as cutting out sugary drinks or any favourite sugary foods, having sugar-free breakfasts, etc.
