No Sugar November
Another month, another theme. For November, we’re looking at food again. This time we’re going to focus on added sugar.
Sugar is unhealthy. You know this. I know this. Yet it doesn’t stop me from having chocolate biscuits for dinner on nights when I drag myself home, exhausted, from a hard day of office work. Some nights I am a very bad Kilter editor, indeed.
Sugar is also extremely appealing. Our bodies are wired to crave sweet flavours from way back when they were rare. These days, we can get sweets easily at any store and sugar creeps into our savory dishes as well. While it is the best source of instant energy, we don’t need fast energy twice a day. Or even every day.
Becoming aware of added sugars is a good first step to living a healthier, more balanced food life. Limiting or eliminating added sugar lets you adjust your diet easily. You don’t have to learn to cook or take steps to completely change your food life.
It is illuminating to discover where sugar hides in our daily life and how reducing sugar intake improves your wellness almost immediately.
What can you expect this month on Kilter? We have a series of articles with the science behind sugars, plus ideas and inspirations to make the steps needed to stop eating so much added sugar. And we’ll share some sugar-free recipes to calm your cravings. If this is your first time to limit added sugar, you will learn a lot in the coming month.
And if you, like me, are trying once more to limit your sugar consumption, let’s support one another on the #kilter channel on Friends of HasGeek Slack or on our Kilter WhatsApp group.
