Can't +1 enough. The single best thing I've done in my entire life, for my emotional and physical health was cutting sugar and moving to IF. The pain and inflammation in my lower back serves as a stark reminder of why cheat days are not worth it. Cutting gluten also removed a huge, huge amount of inflammation for me.
Falling asleep, staying asleep, are improved. Chronic pain from inflammation is reduced, mobility increased. I've throw in some regular exercise and my body feels better at 30-something than it did ten years prior.
And my god, my skin. Nowadays if I cheat and have something sugar bomby, I can feel my face and nose get greasy an hour later. My skin and oil type are not compatible with, at the very least, processed sugar.
- nusl 3y agoYou mention cheat days. I cheated a bit on the weekend with a few not-terrible but also not-great things and it's had a disproportionately negative impact. Also, I forgot to mention sleep playing a big role too. I stayed up way too late and paid for it today. Also had half of a no-sugar no-alcohol drink but the gas for whatever reason really hung around for a while. Back to straight water it is. It's surprising how quickly sugar takes effect. Seems like there is a bit of a buffer but I blew through it The older I get, the more sidecars tack onto my pods and I'm now having to prune them with more effort
