The sugar blame
Sugar, as we know, is now omnipresent in our diet, so much so that it unexpectedly and unexpectedly hides itself in salty foods and industrial products in general.
More and more doctors are calling for a drastic reduction in sugar, especially if refined and white. One of the sore points on which the knife turns lately is precisely there addiction that sugar can give.
The journalist herself stated that the most difficult period was that of "detoxication”Initial, which lasted about four weeks; after the initial two months, the most difficult - at times frustrated like a smoker who decides to quit cigarettes - the benefits of the new dietary model proved to be impressive.

Indeed certain complex sugars kept them in the dieta: those naturally present in fruit, or the "slow" sugars in pasta and rice.
No more than 15 desserts cooked in a year by herself, using as sweeteners only stevia, rice syrup and xylitol, “Without abusing it so as not to stimulate the craving for sugar”, as she herself told Le Plus.Nouvelobs.
Are you happy with the deprivation? Absolutely yes: not only did she lose 6 kilos, especially in abdominal fat, but her skin was more beautiful, with fewer wrinkles and a brighter complexion, improving digestion.
Most notably the sinusitis and the allergic symptoms to which she was subject and which appeared 6 to 10 times a year, they went away.
After this experience, Danièle has only slightly reintroduced sugar in his diet, well aware of the fact that somewhere in the background the "thought of sugar" has risen to the surface.
