Ep. 003 No Sugar January: The Experiment
When Mags came to me in the middle of December and asked me if I would do no sugar January with her, I shut it down pretty quick. What I love about Mags is when she believes in something, especially when she knows it will benefit both of us, she is resilient and consistent. Not in a pushy way but in a very patient and loving way.
After I initially turned down the idea, she would randomly talk about what she was going to be doing, how she was going to execute, and sharing some facts and statistics with me about sugar.
One fact that she shared with me (which ended up being the one that really shifted my mindset) was that 75 grams of sugar can suppress your immune system 40-50% for up to 5 hours at a time.
For some reason that really hit me hard. I immediately thought of myself and my kinds and how this time of year, us getting sick is very likely. So, it got me thinking... "With all the holiday festivities, late nights, traveling.. etc that we all do this time of year, on top of all the foods, sacks, and drinks that are sugar-filled and we consume.. no wonder why we are so likely to get sick..."
After processing that I was in. I was looking at this as an opportunity to do an experiment with myself to see how no sugar for 31 days would impact my body. Would I feel better? Would I be more focused? Would my sleep improve?
I looked up all the ways sugar impacts our body from a negative standpoint and it was alarming. I thought to myself "I literally want to experience the opposite of those things."
So, here we are, with a little over 1 week left and WE BOTH feel amazing!
Today's podcast is more of an informative one. It's one that we you will walk away from learning a lot about sugar and the impacts it has on your mind and body.
But, that isn't it! Listen through to the end because you will also leave this episode FIRED UP!
We hope you learn and grow from this episode! We poured a lot of time and energy into it. We hope it's helpful to you and if so, we ask that you share it with your friends and family!
If you do share it, tag me (@stephone_allen) and Mags (mag.hill)
Thank yall so much for the support! We love and appreciate yall!
