Sugar is one of the building blocks of life.
Take photosynthesis, for example.
Humans, too, require sugar to survive.
However, this can be hard when sugar is in nearly everything, especially pre-packaged foods.
What happens to your body when you cut out sugaris rather interesting.
You’re breaking asugar addiction, which means you’ll experience symptoms of withdrawal rather immediately.
Thankfully, just as with caffeine withdrawal, these symptoms won’t last too long.
If you see them, it may be time to cleanse your body.
After all, fruits and vegetables contain natural sugars that fuel the body.
Do you know how many calories a teaspoon of sugar contains?
Committing to a sugar detox can be hard, especially once withdrawal symptoms settle in.
However, it can be amazing for your body.
According toLivestrong.com, a gram of sugar contains four calories, and a teaspoon contains 17 calories.
Think then about how many teaspoons of sugar are in a sweet coffee drink or a baked good.
According to Alpert, the recalibration of the palette is one of the biggest benefits of detoxing from sugar.
It helps us realize how much sugar we’ve actually been consuming.
