Give up Sugar for a Month
- Added sugar contains no essential nutrients and is bad for your teeth,
- Added sugar is high in fructose, which can overload your liver,
- Overloading the liver with fructose can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,
- Sugar can cause insulin resistance, a stepping stone towards metabolic syndrome and diabetes,
- The insulin resistance can progress to type II diabetes,
- Sugar can give you cancer,
- Due to its effects on hormones and the brain, sugar has unique fat-promoting effects,
- Because it causes massive dopamine release in the brain, sugar is highly addictive,
- Sugar is a leading contributor to obesity in both children and adults,
- It ain't the fat...it's sugar that raises your cholesterol and gives you heart disease.
Its hard as sugar is there in almost any kind of processed food, it would only be achievable if you made all your meals and controlled yourself. The first week is doable , it starts hitting you when you cross the 8-9th day and then builds up, by end of the month you start settling into it. You feel a change in your body.
Done this few times over the years.
and after the month, came another and it's been 8 months without any added sugar
