NO Sugar!

If YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT I always tell people to avoid sugar at all costs. If you stop eating sugar, you will immediately start to see weight loss, I promise you. Sugar is found everywhere, not just in candy. It’s in most of your drinks: juices, smoothies, sodas, alcoholic drinks, Starbucks drinks… It’s in your food: fruit, dried fruit, anything packaged, all simple carbohydrates such as rice, pasta and bread. Sugar not only stores excess fat, but it ruins your teeth! Is sugar like cocaine? According to studies, the brain’s reward region releases dopamine, the same hormone released when taking drugs, has the same effect when eating/drinking sugar. Just like over-using drugs, the more you eat – the less you feel satisfied! I don’t think we should go EXTREME and abolish sugar from our lives, but if you try to be as NATURAL as possible – and only eat sugar that comes from nature (I’m talking about fruits and figs people) then I think that’s acceptable. Everything else IS NOT!
