I can't tell you how many dumb women I know who drink diet coke and reach for those sweet and low sugar packs at restaurants like they can't control their weight any other way. I mean how many calories could be in one teaspoon of real sugar?

Most of us get that sugar many times per day. In bread, salad dressings, ketchup, tomato sauce, prepared foods, etc. We don't need any more.

All it takes is more calories than your body needs to start storing it as fat. It doesn't have to be a lot, and it depends on what you're already eating and your personal metabolism. For some people, a single cookie a day may be enough to put on a lot of weight over the years.
