I have begun a 5-Day Sugar Challenge to check in on my use of sugar in my diet. I have switched to healthy sugars; however, sugar is hidden in many foods. Processed sugar is one of the leading variables for many of our chronic diseases, including cancer and obesity; it promotes inflammation, weakens the immune system, and triggers brain imbalances.
Here's the link to join the 5-Day Sugar Challenge. On the first day, we were all asked to track our sugar intake for 24 hours. I've had some friends express interest in joining, and I think it's a fantastic opportunity for us to support each other in our journey towards healthier eating. It's completely free and a great way to gain insights into your sugar consumption.
If you don't have the time to participate, I will be sharing my journey over the next few days in support of our optimal health. Stay tuned.
Day 2
I basically eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Fish, turkey, and chicken. Seldom pizza(vegetables, some cheese), prawns.
I eat 3 to 4 servings of cheese most days.
I do watch salt and sugar content on any processed products I use, like curry sauce.
Even though I do this, periodically, I cave sweets and go on a 3or 4 day eating lots of deserts each night. I can’t seem to stop. Get extremely stuffed and frustrated.
This and eating after I’m full from dinner in later than I’d like are my big problems.
I’m lucky in that I’m only a few pounds overweight , but have muffin top for the first time and a bit of a stomach.
Do…
Me too. Yesterday when writing down my list, it made me stop and reflect on my eating. This is never a bad thing to do. 😊
Such good information and I like that the challenge is short term, 5 days.
