It seems there are many benefits of eliminating sugar from your diet. The ones that I'm hoping to achieve are - feeling more energetic, improving my concentration, becoming less irritable, reducing my seemingly constant headaches, reducing anxiety, improving my immune system and achieving a better skin complexion. There are heaps of other benefits which are equally important, but the ones I've listed are the ones I think would provide an major improvement in my life at the moment.
The Challenge
For 30 Days (any 30 day period before the 15th of November) I will be:
- Avoiding ALL added sugar (i.e. putting sugar in breakfast cereals, tea and coffee)
- Avoiding ALL obvious sugar (i.e. jams, biscuits, cakes and chocolates)
- Avoiding dried fruit and grapes.
Basically, the challenge means going 'cold turkey' with absolutely no sugar whatsoever - including artificial sweeteners as they apparently just aid cravings for sugar. In order to ensure my blood sugar levels stay steady I will have to ensure I consume protein with every meal. This apparently will also help to reduce cravings.
Now I will not be starting the challenge immediately as the family is going out for a rather extravagant celebratory dinner tomorrow evening. So, I may begin on or after the weekend. Either way I will report my progress here.
Wish me luck!
