Hello everyone!! I watched a really good documentary last night called FED UP and also one called SUGAR. I highly recommend you watch this, as its shocking!
I always loved sugary things, candy, cakes and so on and obvsiuldy I am a food blogger, but the facts are worse because we only know and consume sugar that we are aware of. Majority of people dont even know that sugar hides under 52 different names, which you would have never guessed. It is not advised to have more than 6 tsp of sugar a day which is 25 gr!!
Hidden sugars are mainly in sauces, tomato sauces, salad dressing, bread, oats, granola and yogurts. The list goes on!
The real fact is that nobody knows is that SUGAR is 8 times more ADDICTIVE than cocaine and windrawal symptoms and cravings for sugar are SIMILAR to HEROIN addicts!! This how bad it really is.
Basically after watching these documentaries, i decided to do a little experiment on myself and give up sugar for 2 weeks to start with. Fruit and vegetables dont count as sugar in this experiment, as they are natural sugars. I am eliminating all sugar from processed and hidden foods!!
