Shocking Sugar Facts You Should Know Before Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and it's the traditional kick off into the high sugar holiday season...
(BTW...It's no coincidence that this also kicks off our cold and flu season)
Sugar does a number on our immune system, stress levels, overall health and weight and the season lasts for 2 whole months!!
Did you know that during the non-holiday season the average person is already eating 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day?! That's over 1/3 of a cup!!
Now, I know that you're not adding 1/3 of a cup of sugar to your morning coffee...So how do we accidentally eat so much of it?
Take a peek at the nutritional label of your orange juice and you'll find there's probably around 22grams sugar in it. That's 5.5 teaspoons of sugar right there.
In fact, it's recommended that women eat no more than 6 teaspoons a day...
That healthy morning juice almost gets us there on its own.
I've been a healthy eater most of my life but had no idea that I was eating too much sugar.
It wasn't until my hormones began to change in midlife that I became aware of how much sugar I was actually eating.
You see, in midlife our hormones shift and we become more sensitive to sugar.
When we eat more sugar than our body needs then it's stored as fat.
So, I was gaining weight while drinking my organic orange juice and eating my organic sourdough toast.
I'm sure my body appreciated that it was organic, but it was the sugar it could not longer tolerate.
I was beginning to feel like the prophesy of midlife weight gain was inevitable...
AND THEN...
My husband came home from a doctors appointment saying that we needed to find a solution in order to avoid the slippery slope of medication his doctor was recommending.
So, I went to work and made some amazing discoveries about sugar, the myths around fat and heart disease, hormone health & healthy aging.
When we implemented the changes together we lost 100lbs and that was after years of dancing with the same 5lbs gain and loss for years.
That was years ago now and the lifestyle changes we made have been super enjoyable and long lasting.
Was I happy to lose the weight? Sure...
I was also amazed at how our marriage improved because we were no longer on the emotional rollercoaster of sugar.
What I'm happiest about is maintaining my weight and never feeling like I'm sacrificing.

2 年They don't really celebrate Halloween here to luckily we avoid the sugar madness that comes with it. However, we do have fields of pumpkins instead which I love.

2 年I generally avoid this tradition (apart from the pumpkin carving which is super fun)... I'm going to see if I can find some healthy alternatives for my kids that they won't mind swopping all that crap they'll get for ... ?? (This is the first year that they really want to go Trick or Treating... )
