How To Cut Down Sugar Level And Avoid Diabetes With Food You Eat

I gave myself a challenge a few months back. One of the challenges was “no sugar”.

Not in the ridiculous way that you can’t eat fruit or bread.

But I did also cut down on carbs. So no bread or cereal in the morning or for lunch.

Cutting out candy, chocolate, and such was pretty easy.

 

 

I had a hard three days and then it became very easy not to eat refined sugars.

Cutting back on carbs was easy as well, but it did take a bit more thinking ahead. I made sure I had easy replacements for those “no time” moments

 

1. Make sure you have protein-rich snacks.

Things like cottage cheese and yogurt are easy to take to work.

 

2. Do meal prep.

Don’t cook one egg, cook 10, and keep the other nine in the fridge for when you need them.

Cook big batches of vegetable-based soups en freeze in portions that you don’t need.

 

3. Avoid processed foods.

they will have all sorts of additives that are or work similarly to sugar.

They also often have too much salt.

 

4. Nuts

 

 

5. Take a salad for lunch and add lean proteins to keep you satisfied.

If you don’t have access to salads where you work; you’ll find ready chopped vegetables in the supermarket.

They spoil quicker, so don’t buy a stash for the whole week.

But they make easy salads; especially with nuts or those boiled eggs, you made.

 

 

6. Have something that feels like an indulgence,

But isn’t really. For me, it was avocados (I know… millennial). Or sugar-free, fat-free, chocolate custard. Or smoked almonds.

 

7. Buy cookbooks or find recipes that are simple and fast.

Not every cooking session has to be Masterchef.

There are lots of blogs with easy recipes like this one I Quit Sugar – Recipes

 

8. Become a vegetarian and try to eat sugar-free I became big friends with omelets stuffed with vegetables and stirfry) Easy and fast.
