Excess sugary foods can cause obesity, metabolic disorders, and diabetes. You can fight your sweet tooth by following a few simple rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Examine the composition of the foods you eat. Sugar is often found not only in desserts, but also in breads, seasonings, sauces, canned foods and convenience foods. Manufacturers often add sugar to low-fat curds, kefir and yogurt to increase their nutritional value.
Step 2
Make a healthy eating plan and stick to it until new eating habits are formed. This period can last from several weeks to two months. Don't try to give up sweets once and for all. Gradually reduce the amount of sugar consumed during the day. Try to diversify your diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. High-quality protein foods are just as good for mood-boosting as dark chocolate.
Step 3
Identify the biggest source of sugar in your diet. These can be sugary drinks, ready-made baked goods, coffee or tea with sugar, small daily snacks, consisting of cookies, waffles, buns with jam, candies and chocolates. Try to avoid these foods whenever possible. Find healthier alternatives to them. For example, sweet black tea can be replaced with green tea, and instead of cookies or chocolate, you can have a snack with an apple, banana, or light salad.
Step 4
Eat fresh and organic foods. Semi-finished products and pickled vegetables always contain preservatives, and the main one is sugar. Don't be lazy to cook. Fresh meals are much healthier for the body. In addition, you can easily control their composition and quality of the starting products.
Step 5
Be outdoors more often, move more, and try to get yourself a good night's sleep. Often we try to overcome drowsiness, lethargy and just a bad mood with the help of sweet coffee and rolls. Sugar does not cure these ailments, but only masks them, causing a temporary rise in strength.
