Simple Tips To Cut Down On Sugar
Keeping track of your sugar intake is important to ensuring a healthy, well-balanced diet and lifestyle. Although we may enjoy a sweet treat from time to time, we don't realise how much sugar is contained in our everyday diet. This includes condiments, sauces, yogurt, processed foods and protein bars to name a few. The added sugars we find in these foods can often lead to issues contributing to weight gain, tooth decay, diabetes, spikes in glucose levels and heart disease. Luckily, finding the right alternatives and cutting down on sugar can be quite simple! Read the full guide below to find out how simple it can be to cut down on sugar for a healthier, happier you.
Opt For Healthier Substitutions
Implementing healthier food swaps is an efficient yet simple way to improve your diet and lifestyle. Instead of desserts, try fruits. Instead of a flavoured yogurt, try a natural greek yogurt. It's important to also remember that we should treat ourselves every now and again! For more tips on smart snacking, we've curated a list of our favourite ways to replace less nutritious options with better, healthier ones here.
Eat More Protein
Incorporating more protein into your diet can be beneficial in increasing satiety, making you fuller for longer which helps to reduce the temptation of sugary cravings. High protein foods such as lean meats, eggs and seafood to name a few, are fantastic energy sources and can be prepared in various ways. For a nutritious yet convenient option, our High Protein Meal Replacement Shakes contain 30g of premium whey protein to keep you satisfied throughout your day.
Avoid Sugary Drinks
Despite how delicious sugary drinks may be, they often do more harm than good to your health. When consumed on a regular basis, these no-nutrient drinks can cause poor dental health, nonalcoholic fatty liver, weight gain and even diabetes. Limiting sugary drinks, including fruit juices, sweetened teas or coffee is the best way to improve your overall health and support your goals.
Improve Sleep
Prioritising sleep is often overlooked when it comes to the success of your health journey. Lack of sleep, poor sleep quality and chronic sleep loss can contribute to triggering cravings for foods with a high sugar content and weight gain due to the change of hormones, along with consuming sugary foods for an instant boost of energy. You should aim for at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
