?I know you… and youโre already sweet enough. Adding extra sugar to your daily diet is unnecessary and definitely not good for you!
โฃ?So this week weโre going to be getting rid of ADDED SUGARS in our diets!
? Thereโs a HUGE difference between the natural sugars found in foods, and the added sugars that we put in our drinks and foods.
? The scary thing is, these days sugar can sneak up on you with at least 60 different names, making them difficult to spot when scanning your labels.
In fact, hereโs a great list with about 56 of them for you: www.healthline.com/nutrition/56-different-names-for-sugar
?Itโs recommended that we (as adults) limit our daily-added sugar intake to around 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons a day.
โ?Your challenge this week is to avoid ANY added sugars to your diet! (this includes food AND drinks)
? Fruit? Itโs absolutely fine โฆ it brings in a wide-variety of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients along with fiber.
But coffee or tea with sugar? SORRY!!!
If you absolutely, positively MUST add a little sweetness, Iโd rather you go with these than sugar:
?Raw Honey (go easy on this if youโre watching your weight because the calories add up fast)
?Stevia
?Coconut Sugar
? Now, be sure this week to check all of your nutrition labels โฆ. even on items youโd never imagine (like bread, crackers and other processed foods) because sugar is added to pretty much everything.
After only one week without added sugar, your body and brain will be thanking you!
So, are you and your sweet tooth up for the challenge?! Let us know in a comment below! And keep us posted with how youโre doing and any successes or struggles.
I hope that helps you with your sweet tooth
โAnd, just so you know, Iโm putting together a brand-new program starting 3rd Feb 2020. This is specifically for parents, who want to kick their bad habits and set a good example for your children, in 60 days. Itโs a remote program, so you can join from anywhere in the world.
Iโm looking for 10 to test it out at a HUGE DISCOUNT, help me work out the kinks, and get amazing results that I can use as a case study. If thatโs you, comment โtell me moreโ below and Iโll message you with the details.โ
