That was the second time I reduced my sugar. The first time, about 20 years ago I was on the "candida diet", which eliminates all sugar intake, and it's extremely strict. It's done to reduce/remove candida from the gut. I lost 60 pounds. Reducing sugar isn't just about reducing calories. More sugar means more gut imbalance, and that can cause some serious problems. It's not always easy to connect the dots, and not many people really get to know or understand the messages their own bodies are sending them. And doctors DNGAF about nutrition or diet, not really at least - they just treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals but a real cure for some ailments means a serious change in eating habits, and one of the best changes to promote health is reducing sugar intake.
