BREAK UP WITH SUGAR! There are a zillion and one reasons to break up with sugar, here are my top 3... Helps You Age More Gracefully: Studies suggest that high blood sugar levels set up a molecular domino effect called glycation. Say what? That's just a fancy term for a process that can hinder the repair of your skin's collagen, the protein that keeps it looking plump. A diet full of treats can also lead to reduced elasticity and premature wrinkles! Yikes! Helps You Lose Weight: Increased insulin levels don't just add pounds to your stomach; they put fat cells all over your body into calorie-storage overdrive. By replacing sugary foods/carbs in your diet with healthy fats helps keep your insulin stable, so fewer calories get stored as fat. As a result, "hunger decreases, metabolism speeds up, and you can lose weight with less struggle." Whoo hoo! Reduces Your Risk for Diabetes: Since having fewer sweets helps you keep off excess pounds, you'll also be more protected against type 2 diabetes. But eating less sugar also lowers your risk of the disease in another way: A diet with lots of fast-digesting carbohydrates, like sugar, requires the pancreas to release lots of insulin, meal after meal, day after day, and that excessive demand may overtax insulin-producing cells, causing them to malfunction, eventually leading to diabetes. AND...it's not easy to break up with sugar...trust me I know!
