Sugar Detox: How To Do It The FASTer Way
Are you tired of pesky sugar cravings constantly setting you back on your health journey? Do you feel your sweet tooth is calling the shots more than you're calling them yourself? FASTer Way has a solution for you and that's our 5 Day Sugar Detox!
Added sugar does a number on your body and your health when not carefully monitored. But at the FASTer Way, we show you how you can still enjoy natural sugars while keeping your cravings at bay to guarantee success in your fat loss efforts.
It’s time to take back control - and we’ll show you how to triumph over sugar without depriving yourself.
First, let’s review some sugar basics so you can understand just how this sweet stuff operates.
The Basics Of Sugar
Natural Sugar
Sugar naturally occurs in all whole foods that contain carbohydrates, such as fruits, veggies, grains, and dairy. These staples, however, also provide valuable micronutrients. For instance, plant foods contain fiber, essential minerals, and antioxidants; while dairy foods offer protein and calcium. Your body digests these food groups slowly, giving your cells a measured supply of needed energy. When consumed in healthy amounts, they can help decrease the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.
Added Sugar
The issue comes when you overload your body with sugar, specifically added sugar. This type of sugar isn't naturally occurring, but is added to most foods to provide that extra sweetness…which hooks you and keeps your body wanting even more! There are 61 types of processed or refined sugar. That’s right, 61!
We run into it almost daily, as it's present in soft drinks, fruit drinks, flavored yogurts, cereals, cookies, cakes, candy, and most processed foods. This additive even runs rampant in soups, bread, cured meats, and condiments like ketchup.
Why You Need A Sugar Detox
The average person either knowingly or unknowingly consumes 152lbs of refined sugar per year, or just over 25 teaspoons per day. That's a lot of sugar!
This is a scary thought, and when not monitored, can do serious damage to your health let alone your fat loss goals.
Added or refined sugar can perpetuate or increase your risk of:
Cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, etc.)
Fatty liver disease
Diabetes
Obesity
Cancer
Added sugar is processed in your liver, and your body has a hard time breaking it down (because it's not meant to). When your body can’t metabolize something, it usually turns it into fat, which can accumulate and lead to many of the serious issues mentioned above.
Additionally, one of the most common side effects of increased sugar intake comes from sweetened drinks. Though this liquid may seem innocent enough, such drinks can wreak absolute havoc when it comes to a healthy diet. The processed sugar in them turns off your body’s appetite-control system since the calories aren’t substantial like solid foods. Without that control system, your body doesn’t know when to stop making it all too easy to add on the calories.
