DID YOU KNOW? ABOUT SUGAR: Sugar is like a holiday... it's fun, it makes you happy but if you were on holiday all the time there would be many negative consequences too. Like a lack of energy, loss of purpose, possibly depression etc. While sugar can be great at special occasions the problem is that the food industry has added maximum sugar (or sweetness) to everything. Take a glass of water and add 9 teaspoons of sugar, drink it! You've just consumed the equivalent amount of sugar in a soft drink or fruit juice (or many foods)... it's way too concentrated. This sugar rush makes you hungrier, you crave more sugar & carbs, your blood sugar spikes, insulin releases and your body moves to fat storage mode. Pretty soon your focus is shot (plus you get moody) and your taste buds are numbed to the real taste of good food as your body demands more of the wrong source of fuel from the first bite - added sugar & refined carbs are a problem! In life you earn your holidays, often you work for months before a holiday when you have a goal, or at least 5 days a week before you earn your weekend off. If you want sugar then you need to earn it... you need to eat clean food for days, weeks or months before you indulge. All holidays end and its time to get back to work... the same goes with sugar. Earn it, enjoy it, stop and reset. The food industry adds extra sugar and sweetness to everything (to the maximum bliss point)... you could easily be eating 40 spoons of sugar a day while trying to make good choices. Learn to EatClean! If eating no sugar Within 3-7 days people reported they had: Better sleep Better focus No heartburn No bloating Fat loss Asthma improved or cleared Eczema cleared up Balanced blood sugar Diabetics reduced insulin Fresher head in the morning, No sugar hangover Feeling light & comfortable
BREAD: Why No bread? Bread is a filler that has very little nutritional value, it spikes your blood sugar and insulin, it causes stomach distress, it's high in carbs or refined ingredients but mainly when you stop bread you have to ask the question, what do I eat now? The answer is anything from nature, closer to nature's package (with fiber). Eat loads of veg, it can be raw, steamed, microwaved, roasted, fried in a pan... just get loads of veg in your diet. Fruits & nuts are great in limited quantities.
