I read a book called Sugar Blues in the 70's and it said sugar is like broken glass. Visualize that going in your body. I still love sugar but quit the habit to only occasional are consumption.
Frustrating when "being too busy" is an excuse for eating badly. Crockpots cook while you sleep and preparing a simple meal isn't martyrdom. In the old days when people had true physical jobs, they cooked from scratch. Now we have sitting jobs.... we're overworked and have to buy pizza.
You make an excellent point about the challenges many people face when it comes to making healthy food choices in our modern, busy lives. It's true that our work patterns, often involving long hours of sitting, can make it more challenging to prioritize cooking and eating nutritious meals. Here are a few tips and strategies to help individuals make healthier food choices despite a busy schedule: Meal Planning: Dedicate some time each week to plan your meals and snacks. Knowing what you'll eat in advance can help you make better choices and reduce the temptation to order takeout or fast food. Batch Cooking: Consider batch cooking on weekends or whenever you have some free time. Prepare larger quantities of healthy meals that can be divided into portions and frozen for later use. Crockpot and Slow Cooker: As you mentioned, slow cookers can be a lifesaver for busy individuals. You can prepare ingredients in the morning, set the slow cooker, and return home to a ready-made, healthy meal. Quick and Healthy Options: Stock your pantry and fridge with quick, healthy meal options, such as canned beans, whole grains, pre-cut veggies, and lean protein sources. This makes it easier to put together a nutritious meal on short notice. Mindful Eating: Even when you're busy, try to eat mindfully. Avoid eating in front of screens (TV, computer, smartphone) and take a few minutes to enjoy your meal without distractions. Healthy Snacking: Keep healthy snacks on hand, such as nuts, seeds, yogurt, and fruit, to curb hunger between meals. Meal Prep Services: Consider subscribing to meal prep services that deliver healthy, pre-portioned meals to your doorstep. Work-Life Balance: Strive for a healthy work-life balance. Prioritizing self-care, including adequate sleep and stress management, can make it easier to make healthy food choices. Cooking as a Skill: Cooking doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Learning a few basic cooking skills can help you prepare simple, delicious, and nutritious meals. It's important to recognize that making healthier food choices is a gradual process, and it's okay to have occasional indulgences or convenience foods. The key is to find a balance that works for your lifestyle and prioritize your health and well-being. Small, sustainable changes over time can lead to better eating habits and improved overall health.
Thank you for this very important message! 👏👏👏 We have the power to change our lives! Educate before consuming! We CAN become our own nutritionists- nobody else is going to do it for you! ❤
Fighting for decent treatment, access to employment and education and freedom from discrimination and hatred is not turning a genetic characteristic into a fashion statement. Check your bigotry.
Not all people are guilty but there a trend where people that are promoting a toxic level obesity acceptance thinking it actually cute I think that's what the person meant not to just say something to be labeled as a bigot. The body positivity movement started off good and became toxic for some Then this nonsense... The plus-size model had to get another flight She sued the airline and won!! It is not their fault she didn't buy a seat that was big enough @@kell_checks_in
Thank you very much! Greetings from Italy 👋👏👏👍😊💐 I have noticed that people are increasingly angry, more discontented, more unhappy…. Maybe it's the food that makes them that way! - ... maybe I'm wrong but there is doubt.
Ciao! 🇮🇹 Thank you for your comment, and it's an interesting perspective to consider the relationship between food and people's emotions. There is indeed a connection between diet and mood. Research has shown that the foods we eat can have an impact on our mental well-being. A diet rich in processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats has been associated with an increased risk of mood disorders like depression and anxiety. On the other hand, a balanced and nutritious diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can support better mental health. However, it's important to note that the causes of increased anger, discontentment, and unhappiness are complex and multifaceted. While diet can play a role, other factors like stress, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental influences also contribute to people's emotional states. If you're concerned about your own well-being or the well-being of others, it's a good idea to encourage healthier eating habits and lifestyle choices. Promoting awareness of the importance of nutrition and mental health is a positive step towards improving overall well-being. Remember that seeking professional guidance from a healthcare provider or mental health expert is essential if someone is experiencing persistent emotional or mental health issues. They can provide tailored support and treatment options to address these concerns effectively.
The increase in "energy" drinks has me concerned. The level of caffeine in them is very high. People drink them to get through the day, on top of their morning coffee, possibly a couple of Excedrine or other caffeinated pain meds, and anger, agitation, explosive outbursts and rages can result. A man checked into our mental hospital because he was throwing furniture around the house in a rage, and his wife called for help. I was assigned to him as his social worker. I asked him how many cups of coffee he drank in a day. He said about three or four pots a day. There is a diagnosis of "caffeinism" in the Diagnostic Statistics Manual that describes the out of control moods of people who consume too much caffeine. They don't realize that caffeine is a drug, and while it increases energy, it ravages the endocrine system and the brain. It can turn a person into something that is unrecognizable. As can testosterone pills or supplements. If you dump sugar in on top of a heavy caffeine load, you have little control over anxiety, depression, anger, panic attacks, fear and dread. I used to get "free floating" (no cause) anxiety during the day on two/three cups of coffee a day. The coffee pot was in the office I worked at, and helped myself. I could not understand why I felt so anxious and fearful, when nothing was happening to make me feel that way, until I realized it was the coffee, and cut it to one cup a day.
So cook from scratch, already. If you can't cook, learn. If you think you don't have enough time, stop scrolling through your devices watching rubbish. Priorities.
You've highlighted a very valid and practical point. Cooking from scratch is a fantastic way to take control of your diet, ensuring that you know exactly what goes into your meals and making healthier choices overall. Learning to cook, even simple recipes, can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. In today's fast-paced world, it's true that many people spend a considerable amount of time on their devices. Shifting some of that time towards cooking and preparing meals can lead to improved nutrition and long-term health benefits. Prioritizing cooking can also be a wonderful opportunity to connect with food, learn about ingredients, and experiment with flavors. It's not only about the end result but also the process of creating something nourishing and satisfying. Remember, small changes in habits can lead to big improvements in health. So, if you're looking to make positive changes in your diet, taking the time to cook from scratch can be a great step forward. And as you mentioned, learning to cook and allocating time for it is indeed a valuable priority.
Well doctor, I've been carnivore for thirty two years because I'm salicylate and oxalate sensitive and it's done me no harm. I'm extremely healthy on meat and fish, at the age of seventy-two. Meat is what we're made of and It can't harm us. Animals that are looked after will look after the land and us.
@@HeartFeltGesture He does eat his mates poop though. They have to get their good nutrition from somewhere. They also have a much longer digestive system, that's why their belly is so big.
@@HeartFeltGesture Please explain how my argument is flawed. Back in history, we were healthy even when we hunted with spears. Only in the past fifty or so years have we been poisoned with so much grain, sprayed with millions of tons of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides that are being sucked up by the plants and grains that we're eating. The Autism rate is doubling every generation, we can't afford this. Please; look up the serious damage "Agent Orange" has done and is still doing. DDT was banned back in the forties because if the risk to health and wildlife but we've learned nothing since then. It's all about money. We're killing off the human race, this stuff is raining down on us, being fed to the animals as well. We can't get away from it.
If you limit your diet to protein and fat you will make all the sugar that you need. It is not necessary to eat additional sugar. In our current environment it's difficult to get away from sugar
While it is true that the human body can produce glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, it is not recommended to rely solely on protein and fat for energy needs. Consuming adequate amounts of carbohydrates, including those from sources that are low in added sugar such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can help provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to maintain overall health. Additionally, while it is important to limit added sugar in the diet, it is not necessary to completely avoid all sources of sugar. Consuming small amounts of added sugar, such as a small piece of dark chocolate or a small amount of honey in tea, can be incorporated into a healthy and balanced diet. The key is to consume added sugar in moderation and to choose healthier sources of carbohydrates whenever possible. It's important to work with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian to develop a personalized nutrition plan that meets your specific needs and preferences, including managing blood sugar levels and avoiding excessive added sugar in the diet.
Its super easy to get away from sugar, if you severely restrict the diet. But you will only consider this radical move, IF the penny has dropped about refined carbohydrates and sugar. Thats the difficult bit, as always, its not the absence of temptation we should desire, but the transcendence of desire itself. It takes a combination of will-power and understanding, which leads to reduced consumption and lowers physical addiction, which then aids the use of will-power and intention.
"If you limit your diet to protein and fat you will make all the sugar that you need. It is not necessary to eat additional sugar" Nothing is more true than what you say! we don't need glucose or carbohydrates from wheat, bread, rice, potatoes, oats, honey, all seeds. You can name sugar in all its forms whether we have any vital necessity.
Yeah, but honey is a natural food I rather have honey than corn syrup or sugars found in junk food. Our bodies know what to do with sugar we have been digesting ot for centuries...
This info is so beneficial to individuals trying to lose weight. To succeed, they need to severely restrict that dose of sugar. It is a difficult to do, because it's sweet to taste. But , it doesn't look good when you have ingested it over time.
Thank you for this so needed educational documentary . I’m in the path of change kind is slow but progressing toward my goal of a health diet and lifestyle change . Excelente vídeo well presented 👏
I just found this video. I thought it was excellent. So well explained! Thank you for sharing this information. Gosh you do live in a beautiful place. Sensational! Jill Sydney Australia 🙏🏻🌻
Thank you for the documentary. 23:54 food addict brain is like that of heroin addict 25:42 so called 'healthy' snacks, 27:50 even food guide not healthy
I would add that high fructose corn syrup cane about not primarily from farming technology but also government policy. Subsidies to farmers to create more corn… created more corn!! So yeah, a big “oops” is an understatement. When you also consider what Ansel Keyes did, and the government sanctioned food pyramid, and you can conclude that nobody should listen to anything government says or recommends regarding what you put into your body!!
While government policies and dietary recommendations have evolved over time, it's important to approach dietary decisions with a balanced perspective, considering both scientific evidence and individual needs. The field of nutrition science continues to advance, and it's essential to stay up-to-date with the latest research and seek guidance from qualified healthcare professionals when making dietary choices.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. First time i've ever heard of such a recipe to substitute rice with cauliflower... and indeed it looks the same! 😂 Looking forward to trying it. God bless
You’re right modern fruits have been bred to be sweeter, but they still come packed with essential nutrients, fiber, and vitamins that are important for our health. It’s all about balance, and the sugars in fruit are much better for us than processed ones!
I’ve been living the ketogenic lifestyle for about a year and a half. No sugar, no grains, no fruit (Not even the recommended berries, they do crazy things to my glucose levels) some vegetables, appropriate amounts of protein and fat. I’ve gone from 312 pounds to 180. My ultimate goal is 115-105.
That’s incredible progress! Your dedication to the ketogenic lifestyle is truly inspiring. Congrats on your amazing weight loss you're well on your way to reaching your goal! Keep up the great work!
When I was about 10 my grandmother, when I said I'd like three sugars in a cup of tea, was a bit shocked and said I'd get sugar diabetes. She knew what sugar can do ti us 54 years ago! How did we loose that knowledge and end up where we are now?
Your grandmother was definitely ahead of her time! It’s surprising how much knowledge we’ve lost over the years, but that’s why documentaries like this are so important. They help remind us of the real impact sugar can have on our health. Thanks for sharing your story.
I totally get it... breaking a sugar habit is hard, especially when cooking isn’t your favorite. The documentary shows how sugar affects us, which might inspire you to make small changes. Maybe start with easy, no-cook options that cut down on sugar. Every little step helps, and you’ve got this!
I wonder if thin people are dying for a banana split but won’t eat it cause of peer pressure they want to look sexy so they starve. I remember days like that but things changed. Traps are everywhere to entice you. If your weak. Your done. Being fit is defiantly better health wise
Any suggestions what to eat instead of rice and bread? I was so shocked to see the rice cakes have the highest carbs more then bread I eat rice cakes naively thinking it's better then bread
It causes fatty liver disease because we don't have a dedicated way to process the fructose in it. A little bit seasonally is fine. 2-3 servings of even berries, which is the only fruit we should be eating anyway, it's way too much for most people in western societies.
@@felipearbustopotd True, that's why we should consume more berries and fruits lower in carbs in moderation. Not eating like 10 bananas a day, that wouldn't be healthy at all.
When was the last time someone died from not having enough sugar? I say ditch sugar entirely. And startch while you detox. Also avoid anything with a bar code. My grandparents lived longer than their children that tells me that food and lifestyle changed for tge worse.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Everyone's health journey is different, and it's all about finding what works best for you. Plant-based diets can be healthy for some, but it's important to choose the right foods and balance your diet. Appreciate you watching the documentary!
You're correct that rock salt, sea salt, and Himalayan salt all primarily consist of sodium chloride (NaCl) and provide a similar amount of sodium when used in equivalent quantities. The main differences between these types of salt are related to their source, taste, texture, and minor mineral content.
Totally understand seafood can be pricey! Tuna is a great option, though, and there are plenty of affordable ways to eat healthy. The video focuses on sugar's impact, but finding balance in our diet is key. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your input! There's definitely debate around the food pyramid. This documentary focuses on raising awareness about sugar's impact on health and encourages everyone to make informed choices.
The Chinese are getting very fat, not on plain rice, but on the stuff that's now being put into it. They've started going Americanized. Too much sugar and oils. Dangerous.
That wasn’t nice hearing that rats were injected with cocaine. I hate that animals are used like this. Find other ways of testing or test on prisoners.
Sorry but rice and pasta are NOT the same as sugar. They are made up of glucose. Sugar is half glucose and half FRUCTOSE. And it is fructose the culprit. NOT glucose.
You're absolutely correct, rice and pasta are sources of glucose, a type of sugar that is an essential source of energy for our bodies. Glucose is broken down from carbohydrates in our diet, including rice and pasta, and used for energy or stored for later use. You are also correct that table sugar, or sucrose, is composed of both glucose and fructose. Fructose is a type of sugar primarily found in fruits, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup (often used as a sweetener in processed foods and sugary drinks). Excessive consumption of fructose, particularly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, has been associated with various health issues, including obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It's important to distinguish between different types of sugars and understand their potential effects on health. While glucose from carbohydrates like rice and pasta is a primary energy source, excessive consumption of added sugars, particularly fructose, can have negative health consequences. A balanced diet that limits added sugars and focuses on whole, unprocessed foods is generally recommended for overall health and well-being. Thank you for pointing out this important distinction.
So listen dude when you make a documentary and all you show is your face talking it becomes about you not about sugar... I don't know why you people who make these videos on RUclips don't understand that So once again another lame boring video because it's not about sugar it's about you
This video is full of baloney. The body treats sugar quite a bit differently than it does starch. The high fructose levels are what make the difference. It's all about liver function. This guy does not know what he's talking about.
NO VEGGIES, NO FRUITS NO GRAINS AND SEEED, NO BEANS, NO HERBS, NO SPICES, NO SEED/INDUSTRIAL OILS, NO CANOLA OIL, YES MEAT AND EGG YES DIARY (no skimmed milk) YES SALT YES COCONUT, AVOCADO, OLIVE OIL (BUT NOT FOR COOKING - ONLY GHEE)
A diet like that will kill your brain too though. You certainly don't have to starve yourself to avoid excess sugar, but when you do eat far too little your body goes into "starvation mode". This is bad for your metabolic health. Boosting your metabolism is the best way to stay fit, and healthy. So actually eating a good 3 square meals a day is good for you. Just be sure to stick to whole foods. So cook your own meals as often as possible, cut out the highly processed stuff with too much added sugar, and try to work as much fiber into your diet as possible. Fiber doesn't just reduce sugar intake it also strengthens your gut which boosts your metabolism even further! In a nutshell don't eat almost nothing, just eat better food.

Yes, I think that the advice at the end to put honey in tea instead of sucrose was wrong. Better to re-educate your palate to expect less sweetness.
It also has fructose which can only be converted via the liver, and if too much is eaten it will turn to fat.
Think fructose, think fat.

Keto 9 months lost 54 pounds,DO NOT EAT HONEY!
@@elijahfluw4347 you can eat it
Why
Great video thank you!
Don't drink your calories. 0 sugar 0 calories carbonated water..
Don't be fooled by a few vitamins on the back of a packet. The natural stuff has more in it.
That too it's synthetic
@@niranjanpaul2176 You can't do better than a few slices of liver.
A lot of fruits have a lot of sugar also. Apples, grapes, oranges, plums …
I’ve been living the ketogenic lifestyle for about a year and a half. No sugar, no grains, no fruit (Not even the recommended berries, they do crazy things to my glucose levels) some vegetables, appropriate amounts of protein and fat. I’ve gone from 312 pounds to 180. My ultimate goal is 115-105.
That’s incredible progress! Your dedication to the ketogenic lifestyle is truly inspiring. Congrats on your amazing weight loss you're well on your way to reaching your goal! Keep up the great work!
When I was about 10 my grandmother, when I said I'd like three sugars in a cup of tea, was a bit shocked and said I'd get sugar diabetes. She knew what sugar can do ti us 54 years ago! How did we loose that knowledge and end up where we are now?
Your grandmother was definitely ahead of her time! It’s surprising how much knowledge we’ve lost over the years, but that’s why documentaries like this are so important. They help remind us of the real impact sugar can have on our health. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@richardcafe7757 yes granma told you the truth. 👍
BUT Over time we were lied to and the lies became the truth in our 👂
😘
well done .
My biggest challenge is laziness and not liking cooking very much.
I am a major sugar addict.
I totally get it... breaking a sugar habit is hard, especially when cooking isn’t your favorite. The documentary shows how sugar affects us, which might inspire you to make small changes. Maybe start with easy, no-cook options that cut down on sugar. Every little step helps, and you’ve got this!
I wonder if thin people are dying for a banana split but won’t eat it cause of peer pressure they want to look sexy so they starve. I remember days like that but things changed. Traps are everywhere to entice you. If your weak. Your done. Being fit is defiantly better health wise
Properly the best video I've seen on this subject.
Glad you found it helpful!
Do a little research. This guy does not know a thing about carbohydrate metabolism. This video is full of inaccuracies.
I like this Doc
Glad you find this useful!
Any suggestions what to eat instead of rice and bread? I was so shocked to see the rice cakes have the highest carbs more then bread
I eat rice cakes naively thinking it's better then bread
Hi Anita, this is the video we just published about Rice Alternatives - ruclips.net/video/MbbjA6Xh1Ts/видео.html hope this helps.
@@DiabeticsTalk thank you so much xx
Could you also please explain how does the natural fruit affect our body? They have glucose.
Hi Ana! Please check out our video about it: ruclips.net/video/VV5TY74ICjI/видео.html
Have you heard of the trillionaire name Steve Jobs who's pancreas exploded after he only ate apples and carrots?
It causes fatty liver disease because we don't have a dedicated way to process the fructose in it. A little bit seasonally is fine. 2-3 servings of even berries, which is the only fruit we should be eating anyway, it's way too much for most people in western societies.
It also has fructose which can only be converted via the liver, and if too much is eaten it will turn to fat.
Think fructose, think fat.
@@felipearbustopotd True, that's why we should consume more berries and fruits lower in carbs in moderation. Not eating like 10 bananas a day, that wouldn't be healthy at all.
When was the last time someone died from not having enough sugar?
I say ditch sugar entirely. And startch while you detox. Also avoid anything with a bar code.
My grandparents lived longer than their children that tells me that food and lifestyle changed for tge worse.
Have you heard of diabetes and coma?
Keep away from grains and fruit. Plant based isn't really the healthiest way to go.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Everyone's health journey is different, and it's all about finding what works best for you. Plant-based diets can be healthy for some, but it's important to choose the right foods and balance your diet. Appreciate you watching the documentary!
I would be embarrassed to walk around in am obese body aside from the huge health risks 😮
One teaspoon of rock salt, sea salt or Himalayan salt has 2,200 milligrams of sodium so what’s the difference except for a slight amount of minerals?
You're correct that rock salt, sea salt, and Himalayan salt all primarily consist of sodium chloride (NaCl) and provide a similar amount of sodium when used in equivalent quantities. The main differences between these types of salt are related to their source, taste, texture, and minor mineral content.
That's going to be too much salt for the average person is almost the whole daily serving in one drink
@@pliccut if you removed salt from your body you will die immediately
I miss seafood..only the wealthy can eat it regularly..I can only afford tuna
Totally understand seafood can be pricey! Tuna is a great option, though, and there are plenty of affordable ways to eat healthy. The video focuses on sugar's impact, but finding balance in our diet is key. Thanks for watching!
Whoot whoot.
Why are you making the world healthy? I mean why?! 😄
The sugar withdrawal is real!
Totally agree! Sugar withdrawal can be tough, but it's a real sign of how addictive it can be. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
What can you eat like a diabetic!?
The food pyramid is upside down
Thanks for your input! There's definitely debate around the food pyramid. This documentary focuses on raising awareness about sugar's impact on health and encourages everyone to make informed choices.
I simply use a food processor to finely chop up my cauliflower and then saute with butter.
Keep it simple.
That's a great idea!
I just eat the vegetable
Too much meat?
that sounds like a religious belief.
Rice?
The Chinese eat tons of rice and are not fat...
The Chinese used to eat in a calorie deficit, I believe.
It’s about portions. The Japanese have a small bowl, while the Americans eat a giant bowl of it.
The Chinese are getting very fat, not on plain rice, but on the stuff that's now being put into it. They've started going Americanized. Too much sugar and oils. Dangerous.
❤❤❤
That wasn’t nice hearing that rats were injected with cocaine. I hate that animals are used like this. Find other ways of testing or test on prisoners.
hypocrite
@@vietanhdoan6604 how?

Sorry but rice and pasta are NOT the same as sugar. They are made up of glucose. Sugar is half glucose and half FRUCTOSE. And it is fructose the culprit. NOT glucose.
You're absolutely correct, rice and pasta are sources of glucose, a type of sugar that is an essential source of energy for our bodies. Glucose is broken down from carbohydrates in our diet, including rice and pasta, and used for energy or stored for later use.
You are also correct that table sugar, or sucrose, is composed of both glucose and fructose. Fructose is a type of sugar primarily found in fruits, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup (often used as a sweetener in processed foods and sugary drinks). Excessive consumption of fructose, particularly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup, has been associated with various health issues, including obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
It's important to distinguish between different types of sugars and understand their potential effects on health. While glucose from carbohydrates like rice and pasta is a primary energy source, excessive consumption of added sugars, particularly fructose, can have negative health consequences. A balanced diet that limits added sugars and focuses on whole, unprocessed foods is generally recommended for overall health and well-being. Thank you for pointing out this important distinction.
@@DiabeticsTalk if its an essential source of energy (i.e. your body cant make it itself) why isn't it named an essential carbohydrate?
You're half right 😕🙂
So listen dude when you make a documentary and all you show is your face talking it becomes about you not about sugar...
I don't know why you people who make these videos on RUclips don't understand that
So once again another lame boring video because it's not about sugar it's about you
I think it's very good
This video is full of baloney. The body treats sugar quite a bit differently than it does starch. The high fructose levels are what make the difference. It's all about liver function. This guy does not know what he's talking about.
He is right on
And yet a fat person would survive on a desert island without food much longer than a skinny person 🤔
But in real life they die way sooner and have a bad life exp at some point
No one eats 100g of cereal so you sugar comparison is moot. You said the bowl weighs 100g. What are you talking about?
So basically eat lettuce, drink water & eat a few grapes a week so my brain don’t die..got it 😂
NO VEGGIES,
NO FRUITS
NO GRAINS AND SEEED,
NO BEANS,
NO HERBS,
NO SPICES,
NO SEED/INDUSTRIAL OILS,
NO CANOLA OIL,
YES MEAT AND EGG
YES DIARY (no skimmed milk)
YES SALT
YES COCONUT, AVOCADO, OLIVE OIL (BUT NOT FOR COOKING - ONLY GHEE)
A diet like that will kill your brain too though. You certainly don't have to starve yourself to avoid excess sugar, but when you do eat far too little your body goes into "starvation mode". This is bad for your metabolic health. Boosting your metabolism is the best way to stay fit, and healthy. So actually eating a good 3 square meals a day is good for you. Just be sure to stick to whole foods. So cook your own meals as often as possible, cut out the highly processed stuff with too much added sugar, and try to work as much fiber into your diet as possible. Fiber doesn't just reduce sugar intake it also strengthens your gut which boosts your metabolism even further! In a nutshell don't eat almost nothing, just eat better food.
