The sugar-free diet is a simple and healthy diet to lose weight, which does not cost too much effort and requires you to give up foods that normally make us sick or put on weight according to the opinion of many doctors and not just dieticians: from sugar to many refined foods and industrial. While it has several more severe variants (the ketogenic diet for example is a sugar-free diet), there is a basic one that is simple and feasible for many of us.
First of all , what does sugar-free diet mean? I know it’s incredible, but without realizing it we consume a lot of sugar from yogurt and juices, drinks, industrial preparations, including savory ones, such as soups, processed meat, frozen foods, breaded products, and of course from snacks, snacks, biscuits, bread and baked goods. If we were to consider a two thousand calorie diet, there are about 500 that derive directly or indirectly from sugar. We therefore consume over 125 grams of sugar per day , the equivalent of thirty teaspoons. By following this video by nutritionist Stefano Vendrame , you can see how a very banal fruit yogurt can contain about two and a half tablespoons of sugar in 125 grams of total product.
How is it possible? This happens for two reasons:on the one hand we are so addicted to sugar that we do not perceive the overly sweet taste of certain foods. On the other hand, sugar has many forms, and the various corn and rice syrups, malts and other additives are always sugar, but with different names.
The sugar-free diet proposes cutting out this extra sugar: it would mean cutting away 500 calories of sugar without even going on a diet, but simply eliminating certain foods. The body comes out transformed: our skin will be more beautiful, we will have better digestion, greater vitality, no drop in blood sugar, a faster metabolism, a less swollen belly.
Let’s be clear: most of the time the problem isn’t the sugar itself, but the added sugar. This is why there are more or less flexible sugar-free diets around. I was inspired by the sugar-free diet of Sarah Wilson , a nutritionist who hasn’t given up on carbohydrates or natural fruit sugar
