Up to 900 calories of sugar are taken daily. Even if you do not drink your coffee sweetly, sugar is hidden in unsuspected places such as sauces, milk and low-fat foods.
Adding to this the natural sources of sugar such as fruit, milk, and bread, you understand why it is difficult to lose weight.
I hope that after reading this article to the end, you will have enough reason to stop consuming a high-sugar meal. Only good things are waiting for you, just like denying cigarettes.
1. Your heart will be happy
Sugar increases the level of insulin in the blood, which activates the sympathetic nervous system, increases blood pressure and pulse rate.
Stopping sugar, after two weeks, bad cholesterol will decrease by 10% and triglycerides by 20 to 30%. Your pulse will normalize, and your heart will not run wild, as if a herd of wolves chases him.
2. Get rid of the buds
Much of the acne in adults is due to poor food. Sugar increases the risk of inflammation of everything, including the skin. Even if you only give up sweetened carbonated beverages, this will dramatically improve your skin's condition.
3. Turn your back on diabetes
4. You will be in a great mood
Most people associate sweet with mood correction. If you stop giving your body the drug called sugar after the initial "shock," it will quickly get used to the normal situation and stop experiencing a sudden mood swing that often requires "just a little chocolate."
5. You will sleep better
Initially, it will be a challenge to resist the desire for something sweet at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Then we all need some extra energy to get the day to the end.
Replace chocolate, sweets, and candy with fruit or freshness and in just a few days you will find out how your evening sleep has improved and you are more energetic during the day.
Remember, sugar gives fast, but "unstable" energy.
6. You will understand
Sugar hinders learning and memorizing skills. Over the years, too much sugar can harm communication between brain cells. So if you want to be smart, do not eat sugar.
It also applies to your children.
7. Finally, you will lose the last 3 pounds
Restricting sugar will help you focus on healthier foods. And imperceptibly, while kneading nuts instead of wafers, a 3-4 pounds in 4 months will go without a trace.

I try to avoid it too - at least not too much 😊 @peekbit
Nice pictures by the way ☺️
The health benefits are huge but its not as easy as you would think.
It took me around 3 months to totally get rid of the craving. But now i can refuse sugary foods and drinks no problem
I lost weight and lowered my blood pressure too.
My wife and I went keto a while back, and are enjoying most of the benefits described. We still have some trouble sleeping, but everything else you mentioned is improved.
Congratulations @suggeelson!
