It’s not an exaggeration to say that added sugar is the worst ingredient in our modern diet. Over time, the more sugar you eat, the more effective your body becomes at absorbing it, and the more you absorb, the more metabolic and cardiovascular damage you’ll reap.
Since sugar addiction is a real thing, when trying to eliminate it from your diet, you are most likely to experience classic withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, fatigue, headaches, depression, and irritability. Your brain has been programmed to want something sweet and he won’t be willing to let it go very easily. However, studies have shown that eliminating sugar for only two weeks can significantly decrease sugar sensitization and cause your body to be less reactive to it.Here is a simple diet plan that will help you break up with added sugar and improve your health in the long run.
