We’ve compiled our top 7 reasons you should reduce your sugar intake and reap the benefits. Here are some benefits we have observed from our clients firsthand. Keep in mind that everyone responds to reducing their sugar intake differently.
This is an obvious benefit, and the main motivator for many clients. It’s true that reducing sugar intake immediately reduces your calorific intake, meaning you lose weight without even trying.
When you reduce your sugar intake it won’t take long for you to notice a huge improvement in this area, particularly in the afternoon!
Reducing sugar intake will improve the look of your skin. As your body is no longer struggling to process high sugar levels, it starts to work more efficiently, flushing toxins and improving skin tone and texture.
Motivation to eat clean and healthy
It’s funny, but once you start monitoring your diet, making healthy, sugar-free or low-sugar choices, you’ll find you’re more motivated to keep going, experimenting with new foods and researching recipes.
Spending money on doughnuts at the station, banana bread for morning tea and sweet treats to beat the 3pm slump, soon adds up! By bringing your own snacks to work (almonds, granola, fruit) you’ll stay on top of your craving and not buy impulsive sugary treats when you’re out.
Increased appetite and therefore, less snacking
Many people who have high sugar diets don’t actually eat very much – the sugar keeps you going, and while the calorie content is high, the actual amount of food eaten is low. Eating healthy, low GI foods at meal times means you don’t need to snack in between meals.
We noticed that with every day that goes by with reduced sugar levels, your commitment to continue will grow.
With all the extra energy and motivation reducing sugar levels brings, why don’t you speed up your journey to fitness by upping your daily exercise levels.
