#41: Benefits of Being Sugar-Free Part of the Time (or Always)
Update: 2020-12-16
Description
Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 220 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!). In this episode, I present benefits of being sugar-free or part-time sugar-free!
Many people equate sugar with weight gain. They automatically assume that you can’t lose weight eating sugar or that you will gain weight if you do eat sugar. Truth it, we lose or gain weight by undereating or overeating.
And this leads us to the first benefit of being sugar-free all or part of the time: when we have less sugar, we crave less and often eat less. And then guess what? Yep! We lose weight!
Several things happen to us regarding weight when we reduce sugar:
1) We possibly eat more filling foods
2) We reduce our over-hunger and our over-desire (TFE #29 and TFE #30)

TFE#30: https://donnareish.com/think-feel-eat-episode-30-over-hunger-vs-over-desire-part-ii-of-ii
3) We eat more of the 3 F’s (foods that are fiber, fluffy, and fluidy)
4) We eat fewer foods that cause intense cravings (Weight Loss Lifestyle #49)

Additionally, we prove to ourselves that we can do something extremely hard, lose belly fat, increase our heart health, have healthier brain function, experience less depression, and much more.
