7 Days To Breaking Up With Sugar

Took control of sugar intake instead of letting it control me

Quick summary

Ivan discovered how to break free from sugar's grip by understanding his inner cravings and learning to identify hidden sweeteners in everyday foods. He now controls his sugar intake instead of letting it control him.

This quest has put my inner cravings to the test.

Living in a western society, we are constantly bombarded with sugar filled foods. Sometimes, even what we believe as "healthy", is carefully embedded with sugar or sweeteners, to please our "food devil".

In this challenge, we go hard on breaking up the sweet chain and see that, once we understand why we get hooked to sugar and how we can easily scan, avoid and remove it from our lifestyle, we can live a healthier life.

I enjoyed learning more about our internal voice, our little "food devil", and how I can implement a healthier lifestyle, with me controlling the sugar I take, and not the other way around.
