But what are \u201cadded sugars\u201d? According to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Heart Association, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">added sugars are the sugars and syrups that are put in food during preparation, processing, or at the table (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/sugar\/added-sugars\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Essentially, if the sugar wasn\u2019t in the food\/drink in its most natural state and was added to the food\/drink at a later stage, then you should be avoiding it during this 7-day no added sugar challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Do_The_No_Sugar_Challenge\"><\/span><b>How Do You Do The No Sugar Challenge?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve decided to take on this challenge, how on earth do you start?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some tips to help you get started:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Start slowly. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 7-day no added sugar challenge is a good place to start. After all, a week is easy to do when compared to a 21-day or 30-day challenge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Understand the difference in sugars.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not all sugars are bad. As previously stated, we are avoiding added sugars. Naturally occurring sugars, however, like those found in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products (lactose), are completely fine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean out your pantry and fridge.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you can\u2019t see it, you are less likely to eat it. Throw out (or donate) all the sugary foods in the house\u2013 take out all the ice cream, cookies, cakes, table sugar, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Read your food labels.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is especially important when shopping. Check and see if your nutritional information labels mention any added sugar and make sure to avoid such foods and drinks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Learn to recognize other names for sugar. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthline, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the general rule of thumb is that if it ends with \u201cose\u201d, then it\u2019s sugar. This goes for things like glucose, lactose, fructose, maltose, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t drink your sugar. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have to be more mindful of your tea and coffee orders. Fruit juices sold at grocery stores as well <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/40-day-sugar-fast-rules\/\">almost always have added sugars<\/a> in them. Alcohol too, especially cocktails, can have lots of sugar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look for anything that says \u201cunsweetened\u201d or \u201cno sugar added\u201d. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This enables you to enjoy your usual seasonings and drinks \u2013 especially alternative kinds of milk, spices, condiments, etc. \u2013 without the

To avoid this, make sure you are <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/water-challenge\/\">always properly hydrated<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2015\/06\/01\/health\/dehydration-body\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t go cold turkey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s good to be motivated and think that removing all sugar from your diet is the best thing to do at the beginning. However, this is often incredibly difficult for many and they end up giving up. Instead of going cold turkey, we suggest making small but gradual changes. Keep the honey and maple syrup but throw out the table and baking sugar. Replace table sugar with alternative sugars like stevia\u2014 you still get the same sweetness but with much fewer calories.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Battle cravings with fruit. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are natural sugars good for you, but fruits are much healthier than sugar. Satisfy your sweet tooth with naturally sweet fruits like berries, watermelon, dates, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_To_Your_Body_A_Week_Without_Sugar\"><\/span><b> What Happens To Your Body A Week Without Sugar?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As previously stated, some people consider sugar addiction to be very real, and, thus after 7 days of a no-sugar diet, especially if you went cold turkey, might cause some withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, unexplained fatigue, intense sugar cravings, mood swings and irritability, dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, insomnia and other sleep issues, difficulty in concentrating, as well as an intense craving for carbohydrates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_It_Take_Your_Body_To_Detox_From_Sugar\"><\/span><b> How Long Does It Take Your Body To Detox From Sugar?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no one blanket answer for this question and it all depends on an individual and how much sugar they consumed, to begin with. Some people might be adjusted in just a week, while many more will require a few weeks to fully \u201cdetox\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 7-day no sugar challenge is a great stepping stone for anyone who wants to not only beat what they feel is a sugar addiction but also to reduce the risk of issues like weight gain, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, tooth decay, etc. that can be caused by the excess consumption of this sweetener. If you choose to attempt this challenge, remember to pace yourself.
