Sugar is very addictive and it can be hard to give it up. So why give it up? Find out in this presentation about sugar, what it does to you and how to give it up.

1. How to Say Bye-Bye to
Sugar and Reset

2. Welcome!
Hello, my name is Tracey. I am a certified Nutrition
Adviser and a Life Coach.
I wanted to talk to you about sugar!
I grew up on sugar: cakes, desserts, visits to the sweet-
shop at the weekend and so on!
In my experience going cold-turkey is no fun! I wanted to
work out a way to give up sugar for good and that’s what
I did.
I still have the occasional treat but the addiction is no
longer there.

3. Negative Effects of
Sugar on Your
Body
• It can overload your liver
• You may gain weight
• It can increase your risk for Type 2
Diabetes
• It can affect your mood and mental
well-being

4. Tips for Cutting Back
on Your Sugar Intake
• Do it gradually. Start cutting down on sugar
• Learn the names of hidden sugars
• Choose fresh fruits and veggies
• Reduce processed and package foods
• Start finding sugar-free alternatives
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat lots of green vegetables

5. Stages of Quitting
Sugar

6. Cravings
This is probably one of the first things you will experience, though some
people may have the headaches from withdrawal first.
Cravings occur when your body discovers it is not getting the same amount
of sugar as it used to.
This will affect you differently depending on how quickly you cut sugar out of
your diet.
It could occur on day 2, or not for a week or so. It will depend a lot on how
much sugar you were consuming before starting the sugar detox diet.

7. Headaches
If you have ever tried to quit
something cold turkey, like
smoking or drinking caffeine,
you know what the
withdrawal headaches are
like.
While they can affect what
you are trying to accomplish
during the day, be strong!
That’s why I prefer to do it
gradually rather than quit all
sugar immediately.
If you do get a headache
then drink plenty of water to
help alleviate the symptoms.

8. Aches & Pains
Another stage of quitting sugar is when you
get further into the sugar withdrawal period
and you experience some aches and pains.
Like other symptoms, this might not be
something everyone deals with.
However, if you start experiencing leg cramps
or other odd physical discomforts, it may be
your body’s way of reacting to lack of sugar
you are consuming.

9. Mood Swings
Moving further into the later stages of sugar detoxing and the withdrawal is
the mood swings. These can come from a few different sources. You are
uncomfortable and might be having some bad headaches, so that will create
some irritability.
The cravings are definitely making it worse, and when you feel like you are
being told you can’t have something, it can play a lot of tricks on you.
This will pass just like all other stages of quitting sugar, you just have to be
committed.
