There seemed to be a lot of articles about ditching sugar after Christmas so I've been doing my own research, reading articles and books and food labels and I'm stunned! It seems that the claim that the food industry adds loads of sugar to 'low fat, low carb' food is true. Special K, for example, has lots of added sugar which seems counter-intuitive for a product that is aimed at people wanting to lose weight. In addition, it seems the human body can't deal with this type of added sugar and turns it straight to body fat - no wonder so many of us are overweight!
I've been persuaded that we ought to be trying to ditch the sugar rather than counting carbs, fats or calories and have been doing so for the past week. It's been easier than any other 'diet' and the literature says that sugar is addictive and after a while we no longer have sugar cravings... is anyone else ditching sugar this year?
