Sugar is definitely a big no-no that health experts often suggest we should limit. It's everywhere in desserts, from cakes to candies. Sometimes, it even sneaks into savory meals to balance out flavors or tone down heat. If you love sweets, it can be tough to say no to all that sugary goodness. But the positive changes you notice after cutting sugar can really inspire you to stick with it.

Sakshi Lalwani, a nutritionist according to her Instagram bio, shared her journey after ditching sugar. She mentioned that she saw noticeable changes in just two weeks.

Changes noticed:

1. Improved sleep: Sakshi mentioned that cutting out sugar helps the body hold onto more potassium and magnesium, which are key for a good night's sleep. As a result, she started enjoying better quality sleep and woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

2. Less inflammation: After her badminton games, Sakshi noticed she didn’t experience any muscle cramps, bloating, or that heavy feeling. Instead, her body felt lighter and energized.

3. Weight loss: Sakshi described giving up sugar as a total game changer. Not only was she shedding fat, but she also noticed a decrease in liver fat and overall body fat.

White sugar substitutes aren't exactly healthy options either

You might think that switching to popular 'healthier' sugar alternatives is a good idea, but they’re not really that much better for you. In a past interview with Shamika Girkar, a Clinical Dietician, she pointed out that options like honey, jaggery, maple syrup, brown sugar, and white sugar all have pretty similar nutritional profiles. They mainly consist of glucose, fructose, and/or sucrose in different amounts.

She also mentioned, “When it comes to calories, none of these sweeteners—sugar, honey, or jaggery—are significantly better than the others. They all add extra calories to your diet. So, if you’re trying to manage your calorie intake, it’s a good idea to use these sweeteners in moderation or look for other ways to sweeten your food and drinks, like using the natural sweetness of fruits or low-calorie artificial sweeteners.”
