Key Takeaways
You notice that excessive sugar is harming your figure, yet you can't resist another sweet treat. You can't fathom a day without chocolate, and the sight of a candy shop sparks the same excitement in you as a toy store does in a child.

Detox of sugar
One of the best ways to cope with a wolf's appetite for sweetness is to use an eight-week sugar detox. This is a program that will gradually eliminate sugar from your meals and restore your body to health and vitality. While the vision of giving up the energy and security that sugar gives you may seem scary, it's worth struggling and trying to give up sugar for two months.
The main recommendations
Read the labels. You don't even realize how much hidden sugar is in the products you consume every day. Try to choose products with a sugar content of less than 3 to 6 g per 100 g/100 ml. In the case of whey, this range is a little wider because the first 4.7 g of sugar is lactose. Count how much sugar you actually consume. Make a careful calculation and remember exactly what and how much you've eaten.
My sugar-throwing adventure
Of course, the total elimination of sugar is unhealthy and impossible. It is found in various amounts in vegetables, fruits, baked goods, eggs and nuts. Once these products were eliminated, there would be very little left, which would certainly not be the best solution. Although I have followed a very careful eight-week sugar-throwing program, I am not currently refusing fruits, juices, or even chocolate and cakes. You may think that all my efforts have gone to waste. But the difference is huge.
