Sugar fast
I recently started a series on fasts. I wrote that fasting means avoiding a certain substance or activity for some predetermined length of time (I typically suggest twenty four hours but you can have it longer or shorter). Also note consult your physician before doing any fast which entails food like this:
The sugar fast
Don’t take any sugar in the next 24 hours. This fast increases awareness of what you put into your mouth. You need to read all packaging for the ingredients. Most processed foods and drinks have sugar added.
The way I do this fast is to only eat fresh fruits, vegetables and meats. I drink only tea or coffee without any sugar and of course lots of water.
This fast is a great start toward giving up sugar addiction. However, it is a good idea to always avoid any food which has sugar as one of the first three ingredients.
By the way last night we had vegetables, cheese, processed meat and basically had an indoor picnic. I noticed that the salami had dextrose as the third ingredient so I did not eat it.
Added sugars can have all sorts of names:
People who read food labels are in general more healthy and weigh less than those who don’t. When reading labels be careful manufacturers will disguise added sugars. Look for the following added sugars: corn syrup; crystalline fructose; dextrose; fructose; fruit-juice concentrate; glucose; high-fructose corn syrup; high-maltose corn syrup; honey lactose; invert sugar; lactose; malt; maltose; molasses; sucrose; honey; syrup.
