We all know that sugar is bad, right?! 😥 BOOHOO
Yes, I know it tastes good! Like, who doesn’t like ice cream?🍧
But unfortunately, sugar is bad for your health and will slow down your metabolism.
👎🏾 Sugar causes bloat, fatigue, brain fog and major cravings.
👎🏾 It’s highly addictive and inflammatory.
So, that leads me back to the question… ❓What should we limit sugar to in a day❓
I want to give you a clear # but first, it’s essential that we talk about something more important…
I challenge you to think out of the box. 📤
If you think about this from a different perspective, you’ll learn the real answers.
💭 Instead of analyzing your daily needs or daily limit (of sugar), break it down meal by meal.
💭 If you follow this logic, you will learn how to stabilize your blood sugar and stress hormones!
💭 You will learn how to get in tune with your body and boost your metabolism.
Here are 2 different examples:
🍭 Scenario #1: You ate 30 grams of sugar in the day. You ate minimal sugar in the morning and afternoon but then you splurged at dinner. You drank 2 margaritas and had dessert. After dinner, you felt bloated and your pants were popping open and you felt like you needed a nap, pronto. 💤
🍭 Scenario #2: You still consumed 30 grams of sugar in the day, but it was evenly dispersed throughout 5 small meals. Even though you ate the same amount of sugar, your body was able to metabolize it, your blood sugar was stable, and you felt good all day. 👍🏼
Do you see the difference?? 🤩

So, back to my question… ❓What should we limit sugar to in a day❓
Here are my clear answers:
💡 Answer #1: If you are a diabetic or insulin resistant, I recommend to limit sugar to 5 grams of sugar or less at a meal (5 meals/day).
💡 Answer #2: If you are NOT diabetic but you want to lose weight, I recommend to limit sugar to 10 grams of sugar or less at a meal (5 meals/day).
I hope this was eye opening for you 👀
