How to Beat Sugar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People say, \u201cI don\u2019t eat sugar\u201d, but don\u2019t realise that they consume massive amount of sugar on daily basis. An average person consumes 40 teaspoons of sugar daily. Processed foods like BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, yoghurt etc. all have hidden sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we talk about sugar diets, the most extreme form would restrict all foods that contain added sugars as well as fruit and any vegetables that contain natural sugars such as peas, carrots and parsnips. The less extreme form of the diet permits fruit (but not juices) and vegetables and restricts all added sugars, honey and processed foods that contain sugars such as sugar-sweetened drinks, confectionery, sweet snacks, biscuits, cakes, pastries, ice cream and desserts, sweetened yoghurt, most breakfast cereals, sauces, soups, rice, flour and marinades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some sugar-free diets claim that sugar is addictive and must be totally eliminated to \u2018cure\u2019 the addiction. Sugar has no essential nutrients and simply contributes kilojoules. Australia\u2019s Dietary Guidelines have always recommended we limit sugar and research continues to support the need for such a guideline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar needs to be limited. It adds unnecessary kilojoules, and like refined starches, it increases dental decay. Sugar does not fulfil any official definition of \u2018addictive\u2019, although once our taste buds become used to sweetness, some people will overindulge in sweet foods and that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to American Heart Association (AHA), added sugar is as per below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men<\/strong>: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women<\/strong>:\u00a0100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are going to cut down sugar in 3 simple stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 1 \u2013 Mental Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The very first thing you need to do when setting any goal, whether it be career related or personal, is to figure out\u00a0why\u00a0<\/strong>you have that goal in place. This\u00a0why<\/strong>\u00a0will determine how hard you will work towards your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
