We’ve talked about the effects that processed sugar has on your blood sugar/insulin all month. We’re going to talk about it one more time because it’s THAT important ⬇

Reducing the amount of processed sugar in your diet will reduce the amount of insulin circulating in your body. Your body has an incredibly difficult time burning fat when there is too much insulin circulating. What this means for you is that if you can reduce your processed sugar intake, you can reduce your insulin levels. When you reduce your insulin levels, you have a better chance of becoming a lean, mean, fat-burning machine!🔥

And the best news is that you don't have to follow a strict diet to see results when you lower your insulin. If you're used to eating sugar, cutting back on processed sugar helps your body tap into stored fat, and it's often an easier change than strict dieting. 💯

If that isn't enough to convince you, excess fructose (common in processed sugars) is metabolized in the liver, where it can turn into fat and contribute to belly fat. Fructose also may not trigger your fullness signals (like leptin, your satiety hormone) the way other foods do, which can make it easier to overeat.

I don’t know about you, but knowing all of this information about the insulin effects caused by processed sugar makes it a little easier to “Just say no”. Wouldn’t you agree? 🚫
