How are you doing without any sugar this week? Here are just a few reasons that I am challenging you to go without sugar. Hopefully this will motivate you to stay away from sugar.
You know all about sugar's cruel but seductive cycle of cravings, crashes, and weight gain, so I'll summarize the other little problems along the sugary trail to devastation: Sugar causes insulin resistance. Sugar feeds cancer cells, which thrive on glucose. Sugar can cause varicose veins. Sugar feeds candida yeast. Sugar compromises your immune systems for hours after you eat it. Sugar wrinkles your skin and ages your entire body. Sugar causes inflammation and fluid retention. Sugar raises your triglyceride levels. Sugar depletes nutrients in your body, such as chromium, which keep you lean and stabilize your blood sugar. In fact, sugar is what makes sugar fattening. I think you get it now. White flour is readily converted to sugar in the body. Many people who claim they don't have a sweet tooth satisfy their sugar addiction with white flour based breads and pastas, which cause the same problems as sugar.
We'll add some healthier sweeteners back to our diet in 3 more days.
To your health,
Melissa
