First it is said that a certain food or food component is the reason why we get fat. Then again science finds out that it contains healthy ingredients and we are allowed to eat it. But it won't be long before it's back on the blacklist of fatteners - for reasons that no one really understands. This is no wonder, since such information comes from magazines and Facebook pages whose operators certainly have no degree in ecotrophology or training as dieticians. Nevertheless, it is precisely this contradictory and above all incomplete information that makes it very difficult for overweight people to change their diet and finally reach their feel-good weight.

Fortunately, this has been changing for several years. The fact that there are so many great food bloggers on Facebook, Instagram and Co. who know how to make healthy food look and taste tasty, and also the fitness trend of recent years has created a greater awareness of healthy eating. This, in turn, has enabled us to study intensively the composition and components of our food and we now know what is inside and what does not belong on the plate. Whereas, for example, there used to be a great deal of uncertainty about artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, health-conscious eaters today are self-confident about such substances because they know everything they need to know about them: potentially carcinogenic, not even recognised as food by the body, and also without nutritional value, which is why it is stored directly in the next best fat cell. And when there is no fat cell left for safekeeping, a new one is created.

Sweets are delicate in a healthy diet, but not only in this respect. The real problem, as we know today, is sugar.

Do you eat sweets once in a while or even more regularly? Gummy bears, cakes, cookies ... that there is a lot of sugar in them is nothing new. But did you know that noodles, potatoes, rice or even supposedly healthy agave syrup also contain forms of sugar that, in larger quantities, don't exactly help lower numbers to appear on the scales? If you have to answer honestly with no, you belong to the majority, because in order to know that, you have to understand at least the basic features of what sugar is and what function it fulfils in the diet.

In addition, you'll get a 14-day challenge in your hand, which you can use to get a feel for the sugar-free diet. This will teach you to develop a safe awareness of where sugar is and how to distinguish healthy from less meaningful sources and types of sugar.

Then you can cook it yourself so that it tastes good and you do not add unnecessary sugar to your body. If you want to lose weight in the long run, this is a safe way - besides sufficient exercise and targeted training.
