Rather than abruptly eliminating sugar, which could lead to have sudden and urgent cravings, it is better to proceed gradually. Take control of your diet by replacing industrial products with homemade dishes. The highest amount of sugar is actually in salty meals Industrial and transformed products are the worst because they hide the actual taste of the ingredients. By starting to eat non-transformed ingredients again, you will teach your taste buds to learn and appreciate the natural taste.
Step 2: track down sugar
Sugar remains essential to the body but is harmful and tricky to control because it doesnt send our brain the fullness feeling. It is thus important to identify the different types of it and in which kind of ingredients to find it in. For example, Glucose, that can be found in starchy foods and legumes is the form of sugar most easily digestible by the body and it is it that brings the fuel needed for its proper functioning. Fructose, the kind of sugar that can be found in all fruits, is perfectly healthy because it contains an adequate quantity of sugar and help digestion.
Step 3: put some new flavours on your plate

Be patient and stay focused, it takes about 3 to 4 weeks to modify a dietary habit. Good luck!
