I am totally and horribly addicted to sugar and carbs. I’m prone to binging and get horrible cravings. After a particularly bad binge I decided that I had to make a change, if not for my weight loss, for my health and borderline type 2 diabetes. I gave myself an initial goal of 7 days, and holy crap has it taught me a lot. I didn’t calorie count or anything but I’m down 2kg in 7 days and feel like this sugar trap might finally be lifting.
So I wanted to share some things I have learned that might motivate you guys reduce your sugar intake
-
Sugar is addicting as fuck (I dont think I need to explain this one)
-
Surprisingly, less glucose = more energy. This is because I didn’t experience that blood sugar peak you get with carbs and sugary foods. I found I didn’t get too hungry or sleepy in the afternoons, and my workouts have been better.
-
I learned how much sugar we face in our day to day lives. Simply making the decision to not eat a sugary snack that my office has laid out, or say no to basically every breakfast option, was enlightening. I face sugar everywhere I go, my family keeps and consumes mountains of the stuff every day.
-
No sugar or carbs has meant nothing to binge on. I don’t want to make recommendations for those who suffer from BED or overeating, but I did find a lot of relief from them, simply because I was full from my food, and had no desire to binge on sweet potato, asparagus or grilled chicken.
-
Mental relief. On top of the relief from binge eating, mentally, after I got past the cravings, I felt good! My mind was clear, and I began to put my food into perspective.
I’m going to continue this for another 3 weeks now! And can not recommend it enough.
There are definitely more, but if you guys have also quit sugar, did you notice these things or learn any other lessons?
