I cut of extra sugar 7 weeks ago. I must say it made me way more focused, happier, awake und i am starting to come in shape.
Crazy to think 21 days can literally rewire your brain. I’m on day 10 right now and my focus is unreal
I lost 10kg by eliminating sugar from my diet. I feel GREAT!
To anyone on the fence about trying this do it. It's so worth it. Changed my whole life for the better.
What I noticed about sugar is it makes you very hungry all day.
I think sugar is one of THE hardest things to quit! It's as bad as any drug addiction!
Sadly, too many people who need to see this message won't. 😮
It's insane that food is killing us
