Shu Qi beauty, has always been just watching and not eating, especially sweets, dare to see and dare not move.

There is also a big S, which is even more terrible. For the sake of health and skin, it has been more than ten years since I gave up sugar and vegetarian food before marriage. Even now that I am married, I am still very strict with myself. The milk I drank on the show is lactose-free, and I won't touch it at all. Therefore, her plain face is still very tough, comparable to a girl!

Wallace Huo doesn't eat sugar either. It is reported that in order to look good on camera and not be bloated, he has been dieting, sugar and starch for two years, and his weight has been kept at around 60kg. His wife, Ruby Lin, has been drinking sugar-free drinks and has hoarded a drawer full of POLA anti-saccharification oral liquid.

Why quit sugar? Seeing this, there is already an obvious answer. Eating a lot of sugar will not only lead to dental caries, obesity, acne, accelerated aging, severe hair loss, decreased vision, but also double the risk of diabetes.

In addition, when eating a lot of sugar, they will stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine, stimulated by sugar, will send a signal to the nucleus accumbens of the brain, which controls our happiness, addiction, fear and placebo effect. It is also connected to the prefrontal cortex.

They will record this happy feeling together and encourage you to do it again.

This belongs to a reward mechanism of the brain.

Even more frightening, we said before that dopamine can make people form a loop reaction. That is to say, when you keep repeating this behavior of eating sweets, it will make you form an addictive habit. If you keep repeating it, the reward mechanism of your brain will become simpler and simpler. If you were another person, you would rush into the bakery to buy bread without thinking, or keep forgetting to put candy in your mouth.

In addition, excessive sugar will do harm to insulin. Keep eating a lot of sweets. In order to stabilize blood sugar, insulin must come out to work.

When you finally settle down, you can eat cakes and desserts, so that insulin can work again. ...

Alas, everyone will be tired. When insulin keeps coming out to work without rest, it will start to be less sensitive to blood sugar, that is, strike, and the efficiency of glucose intake and utilization will be greatly reduced, forming insulin resistance.

In the worst case, your insulin doesn't work at all, and you will end up with what we know as "type 2 diabetes".

So what is the sugar here?

The sugar here mainly refers to foods with high carbohydrate content, typically all kinds of refined sugar (white sugar, glucose, etc. ) and a large number of sugary processed foods (bread, dessert, biscuits, cakes, etc.). ).

Special tips

Refined sugar, which is a kind of empty calorie food, only provides calories, does not contain any nutritional value such as vitamins and minerals, and can make your insulin soar, which is a great stimulus to your body.

So how to quit sugar?

Behaviorally

Changes in eating habits

Eating more low Gi carbohydrates can stabilize your blood sugar, avoid the ups and downs of insulin, reduce the chances of fat storage and make you feel full. In addition, eat more real food, such as choosing natural fresh fruit instead of juice in the refrigerator, and choosing tea instead of attractive cola. Also, when purchasing ingredients, it is recommended to choose foods with fewer ingredients on the ingredient list. The longer the ingredient list, the more things you add.

In the first few weeks after quitting sugar, you may have dizziness, nausea, irritability and other symptoms. Because your body adapted to sugar early in the morning, and suddenly it doesn't adapt if you don't eat it. This is normal. During this period, you can drink more water, have regular meals, have more rest and do more things you like.

Stay in a good mood.
