Ok, so I've been doing research so that I'm
motivated to get off the sweet, delectable white powder. I know myself and if I
don't understand the benefits of doing something, I won't do it because, let's
face it, it's a whole lot easier to just look the other way and do nothing
about it.
That being said, I've found some pretty scary
motivation! Did you know that sugar causes premature aging, can cause a variety
of cancers, brain decay and in pregnant women it can cause neural tube defects
in embryos? And that's just 4 horrifying things it causes. There's 142 more reasons why sugar is ruining your health
on this list! Turns
out sugar isn't so sweet after all!
"Sugar is 8 times as addictive as
cocaine"! No wonder we're addicted and it turns out it may not be our
fault! According to Dr. Mark Hyman the food industry continues to make our food
more and more addictive. Obviously their #1 goal is to make money, so they have
some of the top chemists tampering with real food, they add in tons of
artificial crap so that we crave it and load our shopping carts with
more.
I love what Dr. Aviva Romm over at mindbodygreen
has to say about this: "Many women beat themselves up emotionally on a daily basis over lost food battles, without realizing that they're up against some of the best scientists in the world."
And it's not just chocolate bars and starbursts
that have sugar. It's snacks too! Potato chips, cereals, salad dressings,
yogurt...it can pretty much sneak up on you anywhere! You really have to read
labels to be sure that it's not weaseling it's way into your mouth. Simple
carbs like French fries, white rice, white bread, white potatoes, white flours –( “the whites”)
turn into glucose in your body so
your body can’t tell if needs insulin for a French fry or a snickers bar. In
natural, whole food sources, like fruit, you don’t have to worry about this.
Fruit contains fiber and doesn’t spike your blood sugar like candy or soda pop.
It’s vital to know what is in the food
you’re putting into your body. After all, as the old saying goes: you are what
you eat! Be a detective! Really look at your food labels and find the hidden,
sneaky sugar ninjas that are still lurking in your pantry or fridge.
In my 10 day sugar detox (starting on Wednesday) I'm
going to quit cold turkey. We have each other for support and you'll get daily
emails to help keep you on track and give you the motivation you need to
achieve your goals. Living sugar free has so many benefits including:
• Weight loss - bye bye stubborn fat (ya baby!)
• More energy
• Clearer, younger looking skin
• Less mood swings
• Happier and more positive mindset
• Reduced headaches
• Overall health will increase
• Better sleep
• Increased immune system
Oh, and did I mention that this is FREE? What?! Yes
it’s 100% free! Don’t miss out!
Are you ready to feel amazing?! Leave me your email
address and get ready to kick butt! Let's get rockin and rollin!
*If you have health problems consult your physician before starting this
or any other diet/ detox plan.
