Here at Chiropractic at Magill we had a sugar free February. We all noted weight loss and energy gain. Not only did we target the obvious things such as chocolate, icecream and soft drinks we also targeted anything that had sugar in the top three ingredients.
If your not aware food packaging laws state that the food producer must list ingredients in order of their the proportion. So if sugar was ranked in the top three we avoided it. Things like tomato sauce and some salad dressings were all cut.
This book is a great one to explain the positive effects we all felt.
David Gillespie was 40kg overweight, lethargic, sleep-deprived and the father of four, with twins on the way. He knew he needed to lose weight fast, but he had run out of diets – all had failed.
After doing some reading on evolution (why weren’t our forebears fat?), David cut sugar – specifically fructose – from his diet. He immediately started to lose weight, and kept it off. Slim, trim and fired up, David set out to look at the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century, and discovered some startling facts in the process.
