First of all, let’s clear one thing up: It’s actually not sugar, by itself, that is the main problem here. “Real” sugar; the kind that exists in natural foods, like fruits, vegetables, and milk, to name a few -

1. READ NUTRITIONAL LABELS This is possibly the most important thing you can do to take charge of what foods you’re putting into your body. For any drink, cereal, package, energy bar, or whatever prepared food you purchase at the grocery store, read the label.

-actually satisfies a legitimate nutritional and functional purpose in our bodies. Sugar is something that exists in natural, whole foods and it provides our bodies with energy. Energy is good, in this sense.

What’s NOT good is when you have a sweet tooth and have over time, developed a certain need for sweeter and sweeter things. Couple that with becoming addicted to sweet stuff and you got yourself a gold mine, if you're a manufacturer selling sweet foods.

Another very easy way to spot sugar in the nutrition labels is by recognizing the “-ose” suffix. So, when you see words that end in -ose, like sucrose, maltose, dextrose, fructose, glucose, galactose, high fructose corn syrup, etc., there's a good chance it is sugar.

Coconut Palm Sugar - this sugar is actually sap from the coconut palm which is heated and evaporated which reduces it to granules. Coconut sugar is nutritious and has a low score on the glycemic index.

2: CHOOSE HEALTHIER/ ‘MORE REAL’ SOURCES OF SUGAR Like I mentioned before, sugar exists in whole foods, like beans, vegetables, and fruits. Sugar provides us with energy and is not a bad thing if consumed in moderation from whole foods and within a well-balanced diet.

Refined sugar is associated with weight gain, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, and depression, among others. These highly refined forms of sugar are no longer taken from a fruit or a bean or a vegetable.

This has led to processing sugar (i.e. high fructose corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and so on) into what we now have in most of the packaged foods out there.

Refined sugars, on the other hand, don’t work in our bodies in the same way. They are pure energy from the very start. No need to digest and process the fibrous tissue of an apple to get your naturally occurring sugar.

Most of us, after reading the label and seeing high fructose corn syrup as one of the top 5 ingredients in the list would realize that food probably isn’t a good choice. But, what if you saw brown sugar, fruit juice, malt syrup, or organic cane juice?

When we consume those real foods, the naturally occurring sugar enters our bloodstream slowly as we digest the food and all the other nutrients provided by those foods.

Instead, you get a shot of the straight sugar without any chance of slowing it down. This is NOT what we want. Over time, this will put such a toll on our bodies and our organs will start to fail (i.e. Diabetes, heart disease, etc.).

You are still used to highly sweetened food and this is what you need to move away from. Artificial sweeteners can also increase your cravings for sugar and carbs and they can deplete your body’s store of chromium, which is a crucial nutrient in blood-sugar metabolism.

No, they don’t contain calories, but they also don’t contain any nutritional value so your body wants more and more of them, thinking the sweetness will provide you, at least, with energy, which it never does so you’re left craving more and more sweets.

However, the extracts and powders you can purchase in the grocery store have very little to do with the original plant. Stevia, as an extract, is highly processed and only contributes to your continued dependency on needing more and more sweets.

The same goes for Stevia. Forget the notion that “natural” sweeteners that contain zero calories are actually good for you. Yes, the stevia plant contains green leaves that are naturally very sweet and calorie-free.

Honey simply labelled as un-pasteurized is likely filtered, but hasn't been heated. It would not be considered raw because it has been filtered and had the royal jelly, beeswax, bee pollen, and propolis removed.

5: START TO REMOVE SUGAR FROM YOUR HOME It all needs to go. Otherwise, it will be there for you when you’re feeling week and just want to give up. If you don’t have it, you won’t eat it. Donate, give away, or throw away all processed sugar from your home.

While the sugar is natural sugar, not added sugar, it still is a show to your system and is too much sugar to be combining at one time. Instead, opt for eating a piece of fruit instead of drinking what is essentially 3-4 pieces of fruit very rapidly.

Each teaspoon of sugar you remove a day, the better off you’ll be. As much as you may want to throw everything out and quit for good, that is not always the best choice because we have habits and routines and likes that will all be unhappy and thrown out of whack.

They’re worried they’ll never be able to eat ice cream again, enjoy chocolate, sip a sweet latte, or have pancakes with syrup again.  They focus on all the things they’ll lose and this is terrifying and keeps them from taking that jump into quitting sugar.
