Reduce those simple sugars

25/01/2009 by admin.

Firstly, let’s clarify what simple sugars are.  Here are some examples to give you the picture:

• Chocolate
• Cake
• Fizzy drink
• Biscuits
• Jam
• Sugar
• Sweets
• Honey

I know what you are thinking…..”all the stuff that tastes good”.  

If you eat too many simple sugars this will give you peaks and troughs in your energy levels.  They can affect your judgement and your mood.  Any calories that your body doesn’t use from simple sugars will be stored as fat which will be harder to shift.  Also, consuming too many simple sugars can affect your immune system and lead to type II diabetes.

So you see, there are plenty of reasons to reduce your consumption of simple sugars.
