Weight gain, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders or even premature aging of the skin…The list of harms caused by sugar seems to be endless! And for good reason, its consumption causes glycemic peaks which disrupt the hormonal and metabolic balance of the body. In the long term, this can lead to insulin resistance, paving the way for diabetes and other complications.
Consumption under surveillance
An anti-glucose detox does not mean eliminating sugar, but significantly reducing its consumption for a few weeks and, why not, forever! To do this, it is important to identify hidden sources by carefully reading the labels of processed products. Also be wary of “low-fat” foodsthey often compensate for the drop in fat with a greater share of sugar. Also identify the different names for sugar (dextrose, maltose, etc.). The best is to favor foods with a low glycemic index (vegetables, low-sweet fruits, lean proteins) and to include good fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil), which slow down the absorption of sugar. Finally, adopt new eating habits with a salty breakfast, rich in protein, and avoid snacking.
Control your impulses!
There are healthy solutions to satisfy your cravings. For example, you can take fresh or dried fruit, in small quantities, a natural yogurt with berries, a smoothie made from vegetables and fruits that are not very sweet, or even fruit or spice infusions (cinnamon, vanilla). , a square of dark chocolate (70% cocoa, minimum). This detox time is also an opportunity to take awareness of your habits and reconnect with your feelings. You will quickly notice benefits by finding more energy, better sleep and more beautiful skin. The objective is not deprivation, but a rebalancing in order to enjoy festive meals with moderation and pleasure.
