Detox Sugar and Watch the Weight Drop Off

Feeling Tired? Bloated or Overweight? Sick all the Time?

The Answer Many Times is SUGAR!!!

Did you know that most people consume sugar 3 X the recommended allowance?  It’s time to DETOX SUGAR from your diet.  Cutting back on sugar has real proven benefits to make YOU feel rejuvenated and also drop pounds!  Why you ask?  Because sugars trigger a spike in your blood sugar level, which eventually lead to a energy crash.  Then comes the feeling of sluggishness, no energy, moody and foggy mind . . . then some people turn right back to sugar to try and get energy again.  This becomes a vicious cycle, and in turn, you start to put on weight.

Have you tried to cut back sugar and failed?  Let me help YOU, by showing you ways you can successfully detox the sugar in your diet and gain the energy, clear mind and slimmer body you have been looking for.  One of the most difficult food item for people to cut from their diet is sugar.  The reason is because your body become addicted to sugar, due to the fact that when you eat sugar, your body steps up production of “feel good” chemicals to your brain.  So how are you to detox the sugar from your diet?  I suggest cutting back sugar in every meal, not completely eliminating, that way your body and taste buds can adapt to less sugar.  I know that when I have gone through a stage of eating to much sugar (usually around the holidays) that I find myself craving it more and more!  When I first start to cut back the sugars, I crave them at first, but eventually my body starts feeling so much better and I begin to eliminate the urge to eat them.

How do you detox the sugar?  Let me clear up the confusion for you about sugars.  We all enjoy having something sweet to eat, but did you realize how much sugar is in the foods we eat everyday?  We usually know when we are eating a dessert that we are consuming sugar, like a candy bar, but you might be surprised what other food items that are loaded with sugar.

1. First, let me share with you some foods that have very high sugar content and should be the first foods to be eliminated from your diet.  Go through your pantry and start to eliminate these items so you will not be tempted to eat them and consider these ✅substitutions.

• Candy Bar: 1 bar 36 grams ✅Eat a piece of dar chocolate
• Raisins: 1/2 c. 43 grams ✅Eat grapes
• Fruited Yogurt(depending on brand): 8 oz. 20 -43 grams ✅Eat plain yogurt w/ fresh fruit
• Cola/Sprite: 12 oz. can 33 grams ✅Drink WATER
• Grape juice: 1 c. 35 grams ✅Drink Soda water with slice of citrus
• Canned soups: 1.5 c. up to 15 grams ✅Check labels for healthier versions
• Salad dressing: 1 T. (most use a couple T. for a salad) 4 grams ✅Make EVOO/vinegar
• Tomato Sauce: 1/2 c. 12 grams ✅Check labels for healthier version
• Granola/Protein Bars: 1 bar 9-12 grams ✅Eat an apple with nut butter

2. By adding protein to your meals, you will more satisfied and full and get all the amazing benefits of protein.  Read my article in Scottsdale Health Magazine/Blog Post for more information on the Power of Protein.

3. Not all carbs are created equal, and some are actually good for you.  But almost all refined carbohydrates (think white breads, white flour products,etc.) have so many added sugars to the product that there is truly no health benefit to eating them.  So switch it up and trade your refined carbs for whole-grain (whole wheat products, etc.) foods.

4. YES, you can still eat sugar and desserts, but why not get your sweetness from some sugar alternatives.  BUT, you still need to limit the amount with these products too, but at least you will get some nutritional benefit.
