Slashing Sugar Intake!

It is pretty well known that sugar has some great dangers associated with it like diabetes, weight gain, reduced immune function, and more.  Sugar is extremely addicting as well.  Just have one candy bar or sweet of your choice and I'll bet your brain cells are doing the happy dance wanting more! I thought I had reduced my sugar quite a bit.  When I would eat or drink items that are high in sugar, it's like I can feel my body going into a kind of shock.  Best way I can describe it is that I feel like my immunity is plummeting and glands feel slightly swollen, followed by a crash.  I was curious to know more about the dangers of sugar, and to know just how much I should avoid it.  My friend Michelle D'Ambra wrote this fabulous e-Book, available on Amazon:



This book is a quick but powerful read.  It gives some great information on how much sugar intake we should aim for, why reducing our sugar intake is so important, and tips on helping you along the sugar detox journey.  One of the best parts is that Michelle offers a Facebook support group for those going through the detox.  I love me some accountability!  This was an easy detox to implement as well, making sure sugar intake is below a certain amount each day. Sugar tracking was a snap when I entered my daily foods in MyFitnessPal.  I had a lot of eye openers along the way too.  Some foods that you would think are pretty healthy, are actually loaded with sugar.  I am now reading a lot of labels and shopping for some new grocery staples.  I even have a new favorite coffee drink that is not only 35 grams less in sugar (That's a lot!) but costs a lot less too!  If you are on a journey of health, consider making this book and sugar slashing a part of your journey!
