What leaving Sugar did to my Body

In 1960’s Sugar Companies paid scientist to blame fat for everything but not sugar, which attributed to increase the use of Sugar over time and now 6% of Indian population (64 Mn) suffers from diabetes. Sugar has a huge impact on the body, to give you a perspective of things have a look at the photographs below.

Now you can see what we actually eat and we are expected to take only around 37gm or 9 Teaspoon as the daily requirement of sugar in the body.

I did an experiment on myself and completely stopped consumption of things which have added sugar. I consumed only natural sugar in fruits, etc. for 10 days. My story and learnings goes like this-

• Day 1 started normal as when you start you are determined. But after my gym, I started having a craving for having something sweet, so I had an apple. Then I got engrossed in my work and the day was normal till evening when I started having a high craving of sugar and took me a great effort to stop myself from having a biscuit which I regularly have. Then I purposefully sleep so that I can avoid it and the first day was successful.
• Day 2 – 4 started with impulsive need of sugar, but I somehow controlled and then searched the net on how to stop sugar cravings. Learning from there I started having a lot of water and started having a lot of fruits. This really helped, but still my body was not ready to take the fact that I was not eating anything sweet.
• Day 5 – 10 I started having a lot of green sof and water, which help kills sugar craving, by 9^th day end my body got adjusted to the daily schedule and was flushing a lot of toxins in the form of sweat and toilet which became very frequent.
• Guess what I lost like 2 kg in 10 days just by stopping the intake of artificial sugar, which increase my water intake by 2 times and I also started feeling less hungry and my stamina increased.
• There were days when you will feel dizzy and tired at the start as your body is reacting to the lack of sugar, but keep going, motivate yourself and have that end goal in mind that you want to achieve.
• One thing I used to do is to track what I eat and how much I drink on an excel so the I do not cheat myself. One more thing that I generally do is that I announce it to my friends and family about what I am going to do and hence that shame of not achieving it keeps me going. You can try it too.

Not I have completely stopped taking all things which have artificially added sugar and has greatly boosted my stamina health and overall lifestyle.

As far as I am concerned My motivation was my mom who dared me in doing it and If I achieved it I will receive a GO Pro. This was enough a motivation in doing it and achieving something greater than life things.
