No BS & no Sugar Challenge

Going no sugar for 40 days is a challenging yet potentially rewarding dietary experiment. Essentially, it means avoiding all forms of added sugars, refined carbs, and even natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, depending on how strict you want to be. Here's a deeper look into what that entails, potential benefits, and tips for success:

1. What Does "No Sugar" Mean?

When people talk about cutting out sugar, they're typically referring to:

• Added sugars: Found in sodas, candies, pastries, sweetened beverages, and packaged foods.

• Refined carbohydrates: These include white bread, pasta, and processed snacks that break down into glucose in the body quickly.

• Natural sugars: Depending on the approach, some people also avoid fruits with high sugar content (like bananas and grapes), though this is more common in low-carb or keto diets.
