When you cut down your sugar level, the rest of the glucose will be converted to glycogen.

I have been looking at sugar after being spoilt during the festive period. 

Would be intrigued to hear your thoughts on alternatives to sugar like stevia and monk fruit sugar that provide health benefits?

I’ve read and talked about this too with friends that are also interested in food and what it does to and in your body @pinkspectre. I try to eat as few sugar as I can to feel better. I eat fruits to get my sugar rush, sometimes I use honey in my tea or in a recipe. I’ve just started this a few months ago, but the December month I ate chocolate and bread for Christmas and I noticed it right away in my belly!

I cut off sugar of my daily meal plans..results were showing on my blood tests last week. :)

Sugar is so bad everyone in our house is cutting it and now, everyone is losing weight, and blood sugars are normal.  :)

I once cut sugar out of my diet for a time and I felt great. Unfortunately I've since began eating sugar again. Yesterday I ate a cinnamon roll that put me in a sugar comma for at least an hour. My whole body was tired and I had to lay down on the couch for a while until I metabolized it. Probably not good eating that amount of sugar lol.

Sugar has made a lot of people miserable. Increase number of obese people, increasing number of people with diabetes plus kidney problems are very common. :(
We should always know the importance of moderation in using it.

I  have been cutting sugar and doing intermittent fasting and I can say that it is turning you into a better you. :)

Good information. I am on the Daniel Fast for 30 days and I can already tell the difference in my body with being off of sugar for only a few days.  So much of the food that is sold here in the USA has sugar in nearly everything.

Very helpful article, I would like to fast once in a week to keep my body fit, instead of taking sugar, I will take the foods as you shared with us, once again thank you very much for your excellent article.
