What would one million people know about quitting sugar, right?
Yes, despite its lofty promises we hear that a certain 8-Week Program has failed to mention the other side of quitting sugar. To sort that out, here are seven reasons we definitely recommend you don’t quit sugar.
1. If you enjoy feeling ill.
Enjoy feeling “meh” in the morning as you drag yourself out of bed? Sugar-related inflammation and compromised immune function make a perfect combination for those who love that flat, rundown feeling and sniffly nose. (Shout out to the sweet stuff for inhibiting the effectiveness of white blood cells in defending disease! On ya, sugar!)
2. If tired, spotty skin is your signature look.
Cultivating a little brood of pimples on your chin? Maybe you’re hankering after Shar Pei skin? If you prefer saggy jowls and a wrinkled brow, please have another soda. It’s a sip straight to premature ageing, post-pubescent acne and a host of other skin conditions. Because you’re worth it.
3. If you love your love handles.
If you’ve been working on those babies since high school, keep tucking into those apple tarts. After all, the effects of sugar on weight gain are well documented now, so you’ve clearly been on the right path. It’s not like there’s any danger from obesity, right? It’s just a cute little beer belly.
4. If you hate feeling happy and full of beans.
Always look on the bright side of life? Bah humbug! Being happy is overrated. No one really likes those constantly chirpy types, do they? Stick with sugar and stay friends with anxiety, crankiness and even depression.
5. If you have no desire to feel 10 years younger.
We get it. Jumping out of bed with the kind of energy you had as an adolescent isn’t for everyone. If you prefer to keep things slow and sluggish, you’ll be glad you stuck it out with sugar.
6. If you have an endless pot of money to burn.
Ah, budgeting. It’s such a waste of time. Feel free to fritter away your hard-earned dollars on pricey packaged junk which will keep you coming back for more… and more. Healthy food is really expensive anyway, right?!
7. If the idea of eating delicious, nutritious meals disgusts you.
Toasted Coconut French Toast? Gross! Middle Eastern Shredded Lamb with Caramalised Onion PIlaf? No way! These are just some of the offensive sugar-free meals you’ll have to put up with on the next round of our 8-Week Program. Previous offenders have included Carrot and Thyme Tart, Crispy Cauliflower Tacos and Pea and Haloumi Soup. Yep, we can’t believe this is what sugar quitting looks like in 2016 either. Pass the sick bucket! (
