Sugar, goodbye!

Danièle Gerksens, a French journalist, decided to remain sugar-free for a year of her life, calling her a "magical experience".

Given her personal family history, which has always wanted her to be sensitive to food issues, including diabetes, Danièle experimented with 365 days of deprivation on herself and then wrote a book entitled " Zéro sucre ".

Who is Danièle Gerksens

Elle's journalist and health and wellness specialist tested a sugar-free diet for a year. His unique experience has left its mark, so much so that the programs that talk about it are numerous, here is an emblematic video that will tell it through an interview taken from Le Figaro.

What he ultimately wants to convey through his writing is a series, about a hundred, of the simple information and tricks to follow to get immediate results and make it easier to eliminate the white poison.

The blame for sugar

Sugar, as we know, is now omnipresent in our diet, so much so that it unexpectedly and unexpectedly hides even in salty foods and industrial products in general.

More and more doctors are calling for a drastic reduction of sugar, especially when refined and white. One of the sore points on which the knife turns lately is the dependence that sugar can give .

The same journalist said that the most difficult period was the initial " detoxification ", which lasted about four weeks; After the initial two months, the most difficult - at times frustrated as a smoker who decides to quit with cigarettes - the benefits of the new food model have proved impressive.

The proposal "Zero sugar"!

Through her personal experience, which translates into her book "Zéro sucre", the elimination of simple sugars and a series of meetings with numerous specialists, Danièle provides the right recipe to reduce sugar consumption in a non-coercive manner, always maintaining a diet and a social life worthy of the name.

In fact, certain complex sugars have preserved them in the diet : those naturally present in fruit, or the "slow" sugars of pasta and rice.

No more than 15 desserts cooked in a year by herself, using only stevia, rice syrup and xylitol as sweeteners, "without abusing it so as not to stimulate the craving for sugar", as she herself stated to Le Plus.Nouvelobs.

Content with deprivation? Absolutely yes: not only has he lost 6 kilos, especially at the level of abdominal fat, but the skin has been more beautiful, with less wrinkles and a brighter complexion, improving digestion.

Amazingly the sinusitis and the allergic symptoms to which it was subjected and which appeared from 6 to 10 times a year, are gone .

After this experience, Danièle only slightly reintroduced the sugar in his diet, well aware of the fact that from some hidden part the "thought of sugar" rose to the surface.

The important thing is not to be overwhelmed by these desires, especially for those who are more sensitive, and to be careful: the over-consumption of sugar is harmful and the temptation to always fall behind the corner again!
