With more and more people overweight these days, many are perplexed with how to change their diets to go on a sugar detox program. They usually come to this decision because or the realization that they have been craving sugar for most of their lives and have gained too much weight as a result. Here are some tips for shopping for a sugar detox diet.
When you shop, buy only what you’ll use within the next several days when it comes to fresh produce. Produce loses some of its nutritive value as it oxidizes and when cooked, so minimize this loss with more frequent purchases, storing the fruits and veggies in paper bags in the frig and eating raw, as possible.
Read the label on the packaged baloney to see if it doesn’t contain added sugar, usually in the form of ‘fructose corn syrup’, used commercially as a ‘taste enhancer’, which makes it more appealing to the taste buds. The chips, while usually not containing added sugar, contain a lot of salt, which causes the body to retain water, contributing to weight gain and even obesity. The soda speaks for itself, as does the candy bar or other unhealthy ‘dessert’. While this lunch is quick to assemble and convenient, the cumulative effect of this sort of lunch is an overworked pancreas and increased blood sugar levels.
