Refined sugar can cause instant weight gain.
It is very hard for the body to digest high amounts of refined sugar. Natural sugars from fruits and plants are ok, as long as that is your only sugar source! When you eat any refined sugar, along with fruits it's too much sugar. The goal is to cut out processed refined sugar altogether. This can be a difficult task, I know I've been there! But can be done! There is no nutrition in refined processed white sugar for example, or aspartame, it just causes acidity and inflammation immediately in the body.
It's about implementing steps in your life to reduce the refined sugar and replace it with real sugar!!!
I was absolutely addicted to sugar from Lollies like Gummi bears, processed chocolate and ice cream. So I replaced it with healthier versions of those!!! Now I buy fruit roll ups instead of Gummi bears! Or I make my own fruit roll ups even better! I eat raw chocolate and cashew ice cream. I am fulfilled. So all of the excess weight I had from junk foods left me since I was no longer feeding the habit!
Being healthy should always be our goal! It doesn't matter what we look like as long as we are healthy! Because then we will always look healthy!
If your just giving up on processed sugar now, In the beginning you may need to replace them with a lot of healthy desserts and sweets to fulfill the cravings! But that will be a giant upgrade!!! It is worth investing in the health of yourself and your family!!!

The body will work with you, Given it is being nourished and not deprived!!!
Let me know how you go becoming refined sugar free! I know it sucks to be addicted to junk food sugar because it provides us with no nutrition, just emptiness and guilt! So there is no need for it anymore!
You can now be proud of the sugars you do put into your body!

Well yes, I agree with this point of view! Too much sugar (sometimes too much salt or other flavourings) can result in undesirable solutions, like gaining extra pounds and some health problems. It's easy for me to refuse from fast food, junk food, you know, I don't like it at all, as I realize that these are unnecessary calories. But I can't refuse from sweets - chocolate, muffins with creme, ice-creme and that is my problem. I want to make myself stop finding consolidation on sweets and enjoy life, so I read a lot of information about this and founds very interesting articles about fat loss factor, so I began to eat more fruits (they contain a lot of fruit-sugar ) and sweets with fructose. It was difficult for the first time, you know, it tastes in a different way but now it's ok=) The most important thing is to realize that it's just sugar and calories and maybe a bit of nice feeling but nothing more - it's food!
