Quit consuming sugar now and see what will happen to your body. Check out the article we found over at Women’s Health Mag.
Sarah Wilson is suffering from Hashimoto’s disease, an auto-immune condition of the thyroid. She decided to go sugar-free in January 2011 as a part of her pro-active treatment program.
After eliminating the sweet stuff from her diet, Sarah experienced a number of health improvements, some connected to her chronic condition and others of a more general type.
- Better managed auto-immune condition
Many people decide to finally adjust their diets when illness strikes. For Sarah, a somewhat little tweak in her diet resulted in some dramatic changes. She went from the maximum dosage of thyroid medication thyroxin to the minimal dosage. Her hormones are now within normal ranges and she has zero thyroid antibodies. That alone was worth the effort!
The reason why omitting sugar from your diet can have such wonderful results is not very complicated. White sugar is an acidic-forming food and it pushes the body into a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Chronic inflammation is the source of many diseases and conditions, such as cancer, heart problems and obesity.
- Skin appearance
One of the first things Sarah rejoiced about was her skin. After only 2 weeks of being sugar-free, her skin softened and became less puffy and wrinkly.
Sugar influences the aging process by reacting with proteins and making the collagen and elastin structures less stretchy and durable.
- No more food cravings
Quitting sugar stopped the annoying food cravings caused by sugar crashes. Sarah noticed that after 5 weeks of her new diet the desire for guilty pleasures went away, and by week 6, she was eating 3 times a day and was in control of her meals. She calls this ‘food freedom’.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have any desserts. Plenty of delicious treats can be made sugar-free.

When I stopped eating sugar not only did I stop having cravings but food all together no longer sounded good. When someone would ask me if something sounded good I would honestly say no. The only thing that seemed someone good was any kind of salad with no dressing. Even then I really had to be in the mood. Talk about losing weight. When you stop eating everything it kind of drops right off. Water and spinach yum.

I’m down to 124 pounds because I stopped eating gluten, dairy, sugar, corn and potatoes. Dr said I was allergic to all of it. I love food so I’ve been pretty miserable, but losing weight.
