12 Painless Ways to Cut Sugar Out of Your Diet

There are many reasons why you should avoid the sweet stuff:

• It provides fuel for cancer cells
  
• It impairs the function of white blood cells
  
• It promotes weight gain
• It makes the body produce less leptin (needed for appetite regulation)
• It disrupts how amino acids transfer to muscles
• It spurs insulin resistance, which can lead to Type II diabetes
• It induces oxidative stress
  

Not all sugar is terrible for you. Natural sources like that from fruit, honey, and maple syrup aren’t as bad as from processed sugars and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) but it’s still possible to overdo it. There’s no reason to cut all fruit out of your diet in an attempt to remove all sugar; you’d be giving up all those antioxidants, phytochemicals, fiber, minerals, and vitamins at the same time.

So now you know WHY you should avoid sugar and which types are worse; how about some tips on how to do it?
