Nearly half of Americans admitted that following a “healthy lifestyle” left them miserable, according to a new poll (48%).

The survey, comprised of 2,000 American adults, revolved around sugar stigma, finding that 49% of the respondents were forced to give up parts of their lifestyles in order to maintain a “healthier” one. Yet, nearly all of them desperately wished that wasn’t so (89%).

But being healthy, according to many participants, meant eating food that is bad on the taste buds but good for their bodies (59%), which equated to more fruits or vegetables (39%).

While eating healthier might mean you have to ditch Coke and potato chips, the OnePoll survey, conducted for ONE Brands, discovered people are often misled by believing they have to cut out sugar completely (55%). In fact, 64% of respondents said they try to keep sugar out of their eating plan.

Respondents believed the person who really lives “healthy” is someone who is knowledgeable about what they are consuming and works out 4X a wk (43%), and claimed they knew what exactly should be on their “healthy” plate (68%).

The average person thought their plate should be comprised of 27% protein, 19% grain, 17% fruits, 17% veggies, 10% dairy and 10% fats.

But they were way off.

The US Department of Agriculture’s standard for an ideal plate is broken down as 20% protein, 30% grains, 30% vegetables, 20% fruits, healthy oils and dairy “in moderation.”

In fact, a lot of participants did not realize that body type (42%), gender (40%) and age (34%) play a huge role when it comes to nutrient requirements.

That might explain why 58% believed they eat “close” to the correct amount of food groups, although the same percentage dished they probably don’t eat as much protein as they should or vegetables for that matter (63%).

“Everyone’s nutritional needs vary, which can make meeting those goals feel like aiming at a constantly moving target,” the general manager of ONE said. “By learning about what your body requires to perform at your own optimal level, you can more easily establish and meet those goals.”

The average person claimed they ate less than 16 grams of sugar a day, but the American Heart Association says otherwise. The average adult actually consumes 77 grams of sugar every day, which is nearly triple the recommended dose of 25-36 grams.

In fact, 47% of respondents didn’t realize natural and processed sugars were different. While many knew apples (67%) and bananas (63%) contain natural sugar, they didn’t know celery (39%), lettuce (39%) and cucumber (38%) had any at all.

When reaching for their favorite fruits and veggies at the grocery store, nearly 70% of people said they do not even think about the natural sugars (68%). While 56% of people said they would probably grab a piece of candy or dessert when their sweet tooth acts up, the same percentage admitted they would consume a piece of fruit if it would curb the craving.

The importance of meeting nutrition goals and subsequently cutting down on the “unhealthy” foods directly relates to long-term health. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, people who over-indulge in foods high in processed sugars or saturated fat have an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, amongst other health complications.

Eating healthy does not mean choking down heads of ill-flavored lettuce or slurping a tasteless green juice.

Eating foods that suit your nutritional goals doesn’t have to be a miserable experience. There are great-tasting better-for-you options in grocery and convenience stores across the country that satisfy every craving.

What is important is establishing your own personal nutritional needs and learning about the ways that you can stay on Top of your goals without compromising on other things that are important to you to make your choices fun.

So eat real food!
