Sugar addiction can be ubiquitous and detrimental to the health. If you have a diet which is high-glycemic and with processed carbohydrates, it means that you are likely either to gain weight or become diabetics. Moreover, poor diet and nutrition can lead to heart diseases and cancer. What’s more, high sugar intake triggers depression and dementia.
Sugar addiction can be compared to addiction to alcohol or drugs. It is dangerous and people aren’t even aware of this addiction. Luckily, there is a diet plan which can help you detox your body from sugar. During the 7 days, you are supposed to stick to the menu plan while not consuming any carbohydrates. However, this diet plan is so well organized that you won’t feel cravings, bland foods or deprivation.
