Sugar-free diet
Some love it and can't get enough of it, others hate it
and would like to get rid of it completely from the
kitchen: For some, sugar is a staple that can be found in
the fridge or in the fridge in the form of chocolate bars,
gummy bears, ice cream and cakes Can be found in the
office desk drawer and never runs out. For others, on
the other hand, it is the cause of all evil, because
countless diseases today are due to an improper diet
with too much sugar. However, if you follow the
reports of those who have switched to a sugar-free diet,
the results are quite remarkable. For example, your
skin should become more beautiful, you become fitter
and more productive and, by the way, your body
weight also falls. So apparently a sugar-free diet has a
number of advantages, but what exactly is it all
about? What are sugar substitutes? And how do you
fight the cravings that every one of us occasionally
assaults and that we are only too happy to satisfy with
a chocolate bar or similar delicacies and do this with a
wink with the apology that we are hypoglycated? In
this book you will find out everything you need to
know about a sugar-free diet and you will also receive
some tips to make the switch easy.
Sugar is the root of many diseases
Until a few years ago, fat was considered the most
important culprit and the cause of countless diseases
and malfunctions in the body. There was talk of
unhealthy and healthy fats, some oils should be of
higher quality than others, and those who wanted to
lose weight naturally had to forego fat. All of this is
certainly true and valuable, but while the focus has
been on the importance of fat in diet and wellbeing,
there is another ingredient in countless foods that has
largely been ignored. It was only a few years ago that
sugar became the focus and has become increasingly
important. Some medical professionals even assume
that sugar is even more harmful than fat. While in the
past it was mainly known that sugar is harmful to the
teeth, so that the teeth should be brushed after eating
sweet food, things are very different today. Modern
medicine knows that sugar is the cause of many
diseases of our time. But why is that so?
By nature, our bodies are conditioned to love sweet
things. In its natural form, sweet things are mainly
found in ripe fruit. However, this is not available all
year round, which is why the consumption of sweet
foods was previously mostly limited to a few weeks in
summer or autumn. Today it is different, because
countless products are fortified with sweeteners in
some form. Sometimes you don't even notice it in the
taste, and especially with processed foods you have to
look carefully at the ingredients to see that, for
example, a lot of sugar has been added to a seemingly
natural yogurt.
In order to understand which processes sugar triggers
in our body, it is important to distinguish between the
different types of sugar. The best-known sugar is
probably white granulated sugar. Its components are
glucose and fructose. Another type of sugar is the
starch found in carbohydrates. During digestion, the
starch is broken down into its components, and the
glucose is something of a fuel for the organism. The
so-called complex carbohydrates are rich in fiber. This
includes, for example, whole grain bread or pasta or
vegetables. These foods keep you full for a long time
and provide the body with the energy it needs. Simple
carbohydrates obtained from processed foods behave
differently. These include, for example, white flour,
refined sugars or sweets. They make the blood sugar
level skyrocket and throw it off balance. So basically
there is no noticeable difference between consuming
pure sugar and eating processed foods that consist only
of simple carbohydrates. It is a little different with
fruit. Ripe fruit is rich in simple sugars with a high
proportion of fructose. At the same time, however, it
also contains a lot of fiber and therefore does not lead
to a very sharp rise in blood sugar levels. If you now
look at the effects that the consumption of sugar has on
the organism, it quickly becomes clear what we do to
our body if we do not pay attention to our diet.
1. Sugar can be addictive
2. Sugar causes cancer cells to grow
3. Diabetes and obesity are caused by sugar
4. Sugar damages the intestines
5. The performance of our brain is influenced by
sugar
But what exactly does that mean?
1. Sugar can be addictive
Scientific studies have shown that the absorption of
sugar in our brain triggers similar processes as when
we consume cocaine. For a long time, medicine has not
assessed this potential for addiction as having the
appropriate significance. However, this addictive
potential also explains very well why it is often easier
to completely avoid sugar in all its variations than to
reduce consumption just a little. This addictive
potential also makes it clear why we don't want to do
without sugar. Body and mind get used to the pleasant
effects that consumption triggers, so that you want
more and more of them. Anyone who enjoys chocolate
has already made the experience that it is almost
impossible to only eat a row or even just a small
piece. You keep reaching for the delicious, sweet
pieces until nothing is left of a whole bar or box. In this
case, the addiction has hit again, and even if we get
angry with ourselves afterwards, it doesn't
help. However, if we have in the back of our minds
that the consumption of sugar can be addictive and that
it is not a matter of imagination but of actual processes
in the human body, it may be easier to reduce the
consumption a little or even to stop it altogether.
2. Cancer cells can grow through sugar
This notion actually sounds terrifying: Sugar stimulates
the body to produce more insulin. Insulin isn't just
important for blood sugar levels. It is also a hormone
that speeds up and increases growth in the
body. Tumors and cancer cells need fuel to grow, and
when they consume more sugar, they get exactly this
fuel. Now that doesn't mean that cancer has to be
caused by sugar. However, there is a risk of promoting
cancer cell growth once they are in the body. Cancer
patients receive the best care from their doctors and
certainly also many helpful tips on how they can
support their therapy in everyday life by changing their
lifestyle. This also includes a change in diet. It is worth
asking your doctor about this topic and finding out how
he or she sees the change to a low-sugar diet. In this
way, you can help your body to regenerate better
through the right diet and to better survive the difficult
phase of the illness.
3. Sugar promotes diabetes and obesity
When the scales show a few kilograms too much, one
likes to hear the tip that one has probably eaten too
much candy. In fact, there is a link between increased
consumption of sugar and sugary foods and obesity. If
you take in too much sugar, you throw the body's
satiety and hunger systems out of balance. The
organism produces a lot of insulin through the
increased absorption of sugar. This can lead to
resistance to insulin over time. This also unbalances
the hunger and satiety hormones in the body, creating a
constant feeling of hunger. In the worst case, we can no
longer correctly interpret the signals our body gives
us. In addition, there is a strong release of the stress
hormone cortisol in this situation. For most people,
cortisol has a negative effect on weight, which means
we gain weight faster. These processes in the body are
supplemented by a so-called metabolic syndrome. This
syndrome leads to weight gain, high blood pressure
and high cholesterol levels. This can lead to diabetes
which, at an advanced stage, can only be treated with
tablets and injections.
4. The intestinal flora is damaged by sugar
In our intestines countless bacteria cavort, they are of
elementary importance for digestion and our
health. Over 70 percent of the human immune system
is influenced by the intestines. If you consume
excessive amounts of sugar, the intestinal flora
becomes unbalanced. This weakens the immune
system. The visible consequences are a poorer skin
complexion and premature and excessive aging of the
skin are also evident. Even our general mood and state
of mind can be affected by an imbalance in the
gut. Modern medicine has long underestimated the
connections, but today we know how important a
functioning intestinal flora is. Nobody wants to have a
bad complexion either, which is why it is worth paying
a little attention to the condition and keeping the
intestinal flora in balance. It is also important to know
that an intact intestine is essential for us to survive
stressful times and that we stay healthy even in
stressful situations. However, once the intestinal flora
is disturbed, it can no longer fully fulfill its protective
function in the body, so that the entire body becomes
more susceptible to diseases.
5. Sugar is not food for the brain
Especially in exam situations or when things get
stressful in the office, reaching for a chocolate bar is a
tried and tested means of getting fit again quickly. The
sweet taste and soft consistency seem to be comforting
when things don't go as we imagine. However, medical
studies show that there is a connection between high
sugar consumption and various types of brain
degeneration. The range of effects extends from small
problems with concentration to serious
illnesses. Research suggests that the intestines also play
a major role here and that with an intact intestinal flora
the brain can also be encouraged to perform at its
best. Anyone who thinks that they do something good
for themselves more often by quickly reaching for a
chocolate bar in a stressful situation should know that
medical professionals take a critical view of this and
that it can be better not to console yourself with
chocolate, but rather with a healthy one Grabbing food
- even if at first glance it doesn't have the same effect
as a comforter as a piece of chocolate.
If you look at these effects that a high consumption of
sugar can have in the body, you probably want to do
without the white substance immediately and
completely. That's absolutely fine, because a sugar-free
diet is not only healthy, but also very tasty. Those who
eat sugar-free do not have to go without good food. All
you have to do is make one or the other change in
various habits, which, by the way, you can implement
step by step. The result should show that it is worth the
effort, because once you have done without industrially
manufactured sugar for a while, you will feel better and
become more vital and active. Above all, you also
learn to appreciate foods with a natural sweetness that
does not have to be reinforced by artificially produced
refined sugar.
You will probably feel the first effects after a few
weeks. The complexion becomes cleaner and clearer,
the skin becomes soft and even. If you have problems
with blemished skin, you will get a grip on it more
easily by consuming less sugar. If you have the feeling
that you are tired and tired, this feeling can change
noticeably after a while. You will feel vital, active and
fun-loving and will simply cope better with your hectic
everyday life. You will regain the joy of movement and
may even take up and learn a new sport. These positive
effects are possible if you stay on the ball for a long
time and stick to your sugar-free diet. If you want, you
can of course start your new diet overnight and wait for
the first effects to show. If you do not want to succeed,
a cautious change is also possible and realistic. Of
course, this is especially true if you are not alone in
your project, but want to convince your family of your
project. Perhaps you should try a delicious cake
without sugar or with other delicacies that do not
contain refined sugars. You will learn what you need to
know about baking without sugar in the next
paragraph.
Agave syrup
Agave syrup is becoming increasingly popular. It is
obtained from Mexican agaves; they contain a juice
that is processed into thick juice. To do this, the tapped
juice must be boiled down. The color is used as a
guide; a dark agave syrup is characterized by a
particularly intense aroma of caramel. The sweet taste
results from fructose - i.e. from fruit sugar - and from
glucose, the well-known grape sugar. As a result,
agave syrup has a low glycemic index. Agave syrup is
unrefined and contains many minerals, secondary plant
substances and trace elements. That is why it is
associated with the predicate of a healthy substitute for
sugar. Those who cannot tolerate fructose should not
use agave syrup for sweetening. Agave syrup has a
slightly liquid consistency, which is why it is easy to
process in drinks or to round off muesli and cereal
porridge. It is less suitable for baking because it
browns very quickly at high temperatures. In addition,
the dough is not as stable as it is necessary for a cake.
honey
Before sugar was made from sugar beets, honey was
the only means of sweetening food. Depending on the
type of honey, it contains up to 85 different types of
sugar such as fructose, glucose, maltose or sucrose. So
honey is ultimately just as unhealthy as sugar and also
has a comparable calorie content. Honey becomes
valuable due to its additional ingredients such as
minerals, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes or
pollen. It becomes anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
and is therefore suitable as a home remedy for a sore
throat if it is stirred into hot milk. In addition, warm
milk with honey is a popular sleeping drink for
children. The calorie content is comparable to sugar, so
honey cannot be considered a low-calorie alternative.
Maple syrup
Maple syrup tastes delicious in tea, and it is also a
pleasure on sweet pancakes or crepes. The morning
muesli can also be complemented well with it. Maple
syrup comes from the trunk of sugar maple, the juice is
tapped and then heated and thickened. Maple syrup is
made up of sucrose and fructose. It contains fewer
calories than sugar and honey, but the sweetening
power is also lower. Due to the larger amount that is
used for sweetening, it ends up having as many calories
as sugar. The color of maple syrup ranges from a very
light yellow to a dark brown. The color levels are
divided into grades A to D. A dark maple syrup is rich
in taste and also has many minerals, secondary plant
substances and trace elements. Most of the maple syrup
sold worldwide is produced in Canada, which is where
it traditionally comes from.
Palm sugar
Palm sugar is also known as coconut blossom sugar; it
is still a relatively little-known sugar substitute. It is
obtained from coconut palms, only the flowers are
processed. The taste is reminiscent of caramel; it has
nothing to do with coconut. Coconut blossom syrup
has a low glycemic index. Therefore, he should not let
the blood sugar level rise so quickly, so that less
insulin is formed and cravings do not occur to a large
extent. Whether this is the case, however, must always
be tried out on a case-by-case basis, as there are no
scientifically tenable studies on this.
Rice syrup
Rice syrup is also enjoying increasing demand; on the
shelf you can usually find it near agave syrup and
maple syrup. Rice syrup was actually developed in
Japan, the taste is soft and mild and has a light caramel
tone with a little nutty aroma. During production, the
rice is first ground and then heated with enzymes and
water. The starch of the grain is broken down into its
sugars. The liquid then has to be filtered, at the end the
syrup is thickened. Rice syrup is made up of glucose,
multiple sugar and maltose; it does not contain
fructose. Therefore, rice syrup should be recommended
for people who do not tolerate fructose. Rice syrup has
slightly fewer calories than refined sugar, but its
sweetening power is also lower, which is why the
calorie content is often compensated for by a larger
amount when consumed. The syrup can be used well in
drinks or over desserts and is also suitable for baking.
Stevia
Stevia comes from South America and has been
cultivated there for more than 100 years. In Asia, too,
the sweet herb is used as a substitute for sugar. Stevia
has been approved in Germany since 2011. Stevia can
have a significantly higher sweetening power than
normal table sugar, but it is calorie-free. As a result, it
is processed in the metabolism without impairing the
insulin balance, so that it is also suitable for
diabetics. Our stevia products often have a bitter
aftertaste.
Xylitol
The sugar substitute xylitol - also known as birch sugar
- is produced artificially, which is why it is often
referred to as an artificial sweetener. In nature it
occurs, for example, in raspberries or strawberries, in
cauliflower and other types of fruit and
vegetables. Xylitol is said to be relatively well tolerated
by the teeth, it can prevent tooth decay from
developing. For this reason, it has the predicate of a
tooth-friendly sweetener. The term "birch sugar" is not
entirely correct, however, because the sugar is
produced exclusively synthetically and may only
contain birch wood as a component. However, other
woods or straw and grain bran can also be used for
production. Xylitol is said to have a low glycemic
index and a 40 percent lower calorie content than
refined sugar. That is why it is often used as a
sweetener in chewing gum, which is often advertised
as “dental care chewing gum”.
Erythrite
Erythritol is also one of the sugar substitutes. It is made
from sugar alcohol and has no calories. The sweetening
power corresponds to about 70 percent of sugar, a
higher dosage is possible. Erythritol occurs naturally in
ripe fruit, it is well suited for diabetics and also
recommended for people who like to eat a calorie-
conscious diet and want to avoid artificially produced
sweeteners such as aspartame. The sugar substitute can
also be obtained with an organic seal because it can be
produced from organic farming. An organic product
can therefore be recommended as an alternative if you
want to sweeten calorie-free.
So there are quite a few sugar substitutes out there, and
they all have their advantages and
disadvantages. Before you decide on your favorite, it is
best to first think about what is important to you. Do
you want to sweeten with low calories? Or should the
blood sugar not be unnecessarily increased? Depending
on your preferences, choose one or two suitable
alternatives, whereby you should also pay attention to
whether you are going to use the sugar substitute in
cold or warm form. Then it depends on which
alternative is best for your sugar-free diet.
Summary
Sugar is something like the new enemy in our
kitchen. Until a few years ago, fats and oils in any form
were frowned upon, today it is important to avoid sugar
wherever possible. If you look at the effects that a
high-sugar diet has on the entire organism, you can
understand why this is so. Countless serious illnesses
can be traced back to an unhealthy diet with too much
sugar. If you want to make the switch to a sugar-free
diet, you should also deal with sugar substitute
products and sweeteners. Then it's time to make the
switch and reduce your sugar consumption step by
step.
