Today, we're exposing these hidden sugars to help you make informed choices that perfectly align with your health and wellness goals.

  • High-fructose Corn Syrup
  • Corn Syrup Solids

  • Fructose
  • Glucose
  • Sucrose
  • Maltodextrin
  • Lactose


Artificial Sweeteners:

Nutrition Expert Advice: Whole Foods Shine Bright, No Labels Needed!

Director of Nutrition and Wellness, Martha VanCamp confirms the best way to stay sugar-safe is to choose whole foods – no labels required!

That’s right! Whole, unprocessed foods don't need all the fancy packaging and labels. They're your rock-solid allies on the path to improved health and sustainable fat loss. But hey, we get it, life can get hectic. So, if you're still feeling overwhelmed by label confusion and food choices, it's time to take a deep breath and make a game plan. Our valued clients receive weekly meal guides packed with delicious recipes, convenient shopping lists, and much more. No more guessing—just straightforward success!

Busting the Myth: You Don't Have to Eliminate Sugar to Reverse Diabetes and Shed Fat

The common belief is that to reverse diabetes or lose fat, you must eliminate sugar entirely. But here's the real scoop: it's not about eradicating sugar; it's about making smarter choices. At FASTer Way, we advocate for a balanced approach that includes whole foods rich in natural sugars. Foods like berries, apples, and sweet potatoes not only satisfy your sweet cravings but also offer a load of nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that benefit your body.

These natural sugars found in whole foods have a different impact on your blood sugar levels compared to processed sugars. They release energy slowly, helping to regulate your blood sugar rather than causing it to spike and crash. So yes, you can manage or even reverse conditions like diabetes while still enjoying the natural sweetness that life has to offer. It's all about balance, and we're here to guide you every step of the way.
