How to Quit Sugar But Not the Sweetness

So many of us set ourselves the goal of cutting out, or at least reducing, our sugar intake, but while it's a great goal to have, it's definitely easier said than done! Many of us cut out sweet treats and food from our daily diet, but it can be harder when it comes to drinks because sometimes you just feel like having something more interesting than water. Drinks can actually contain a lot of sugar, so it's important to ensure you are not undoing all of your hard work with eating right by drinking something sweet. A trick that I have found really helps is to just replace the sugary drink with a healthier alternative, and this is where natural supplements, superfoods and teas can help to deliver that sweetness or satisfying flavour without the sugar hit. This way you can still enjoy sweet tastes!

Benefits of reducing sugar intake

It can be easy to forget how much sugar we consume through drinks alone, even if you are cutting it out of your food. Did you know that a 600ml bottle of regular soft drink can contain around 16 teaspoons of sugar? Fizzy drinks usually have little to no nutritional value, and 'diet' drinks tend to be sweetened through other means, such as artificial ingredients.¹ Eating and drinking too much sugar can lead to weight gain, as the sugar and energy that we don't burn off just turns itself into fat. Too much sugar can also cause major damage to your teeth, so try integrating some naturally flavoured supplements and herbal teas into your daily meals to replace any sugary drinks.
