Katie’s Sugar-Free Challenge from Lexington, KY

June 26th, 2009

LaBuenaLife.com member, Katie, is doing her own Sugar-Free Challenge from Lexington, Kentucky.
She checks in on day 6 with the following…

I have more energy now than I have in a long time! I can honestly say that I feel great today.

The first few days, as you can read from previous posts, were challenging, but now I am starting to see and feel benefits from the sugar free challenge. All I can say is if you aren’t staying away from refined sugar I highly suggest at least attempting the 30 day challenge. you will benefit I promise.

Something else - my Pilates workout. I have noticed that the better I get at doing them, the more I can control the intensity of my workout if that makes any sense to anyone. . . I can have a really intense tiring workout, or I can have a light energizing workout depending on how much I control my movements. (If you are a Pilates fan, then you know exactly what I”m talking about. If anyone knows a better way of putting it, please leave a comment!)

For example, on Sunday I worked out really hard and controlled my movements moreso than usual and tightened my muscles a lot. Well, I was a little sore from it Monday, so I made it a little easier by tighting my muscles less, so it was not as intense as Sunday.

The benefits of Pilates are numerous and honestly, I often forget that I’m “working out” while doing them.

Until next time. . .

Tip of the Week

How Much Sugar is Healthy?

According to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, it's recommended no more than 8 teaspoons/day of added sugar based on a 2,000 calories/day diet. That’s 32 grams if you’re reading labels, and about 6% of your total calories for the day.
That means:
* 32 total grams / 4 grams per teaspoon = < 8 teaspoons added sugar/day
* 1 teaspoon sugar = 1 sugar cube = 1 sugar packet
