Detox Your Body
The craving for sugar isn’t in your head, it is your body’s cry for fuel. Until recently fat was condemned as the bad guy but now we know sugar is the real culprit in lifestyle diseases and weight gain.
Today obesity is classified as a state of malnutrition caused by the consumption of refined foods.
Some Tips On How To Sugar Detox
- Cut out refined sugars and artificial sweeteners.
- Cut out bread and pasta that have white refined sugar and flour.
- Cut out soft drinks and other foods that have low fat and hidden sugars in different names such as maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, glucose solids, ethyl maltol, lactose, and galactose.
- Cut out alcohol.
- Add in more green leafy vegetables, and green powders such as wheatgrass and barley grass, vegetables.
- Drink at least 2L of water to hydrate properly and flush out the toxins that your body will be letting go of.
- Take Spirulina tablets daily to help draw out the toxins.
- Have smoothies with vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar substitutes such as stevia, coconut blossom nectar, lucuma, and mesquite. Also, add berries for low GI sweetness.
