Too Much Sugar Is Bad: It’s not just bad for your figure, it’s bad for your health . The body does not need large quantities of simple sugars, it needs carbohydrates in general, but not necessarily in the form of simple sugars, except for ten, fifteen percent of the total daily energy requirement: we can and must eat cereals, tubers and legumes as a source of carbohydrates, but we do not need sugar in addition to fruit sugars, i.e. fructose and natural glucose, in order to be well and healthy. White and so-called cane sugar has a high glycemic index, as does corn syrup, present in many industrial sweets.

Not only does it unnaturally increase our blood sugar, but it is the easiest way to gain weight as it gives energy that is difficult to dispose of, which is converted into fat by means of insulin. A sugar-free diet, apart from time to time (in some homemade desserts, perhaps replacing it with agave syrup, fructose or honey, and to an absolutely reduced extent to what we find in the recipes, i.e. in the maximum dose of 70 / 80 grams, not 250) or with some occasional sgarro (a pastry, an ice cream once a week), is the only way to a correct diet and a faster metabolism.
In order to lose weight and burn much more, we learn to live without too much sugar, as nutritionist Brooke Alpert also suggests., who in his book “ The sugar detox ” suggests a sugar-free diet to push the body to burn more. According to the author, sugar slows down metabolism and impairs digestion by acting on an enzymatic level. Let’s learn how to do without it starting from Dr. Alpert’s suggestions: a real sugar-free diet that detoxifies us and makes us lose weight. DIET WITHOUT SUGAR: THE RULES 1) Starting the diet on the weekend: the first few days it is difficult to get used to the lack of sugar, so the more you are dependent on sugar, the more we will have initial symptoms of hunger pangs and a sense of weakness. It’s normal. After we will feel great. However, it is better to start on non-working days.
