Cut Down the Sugar and Feel Great

Diabetes affects 25.8 million of us, and today unhealthy food is everywhere you look. It is difficult to resist the temptations put before us, however, these foods and their sky high sugar content makes daily life hard work for your organs.


The inflammatory response from sugar is incredible, doing more damage than you’d like to think. It can affect the heart, liver and kidneys, all the way to your veins and brain. Simply cutting down your sugar intake can change and even reverse the effects of diabetes, decreasing the insulin spike accompanied with the sugar overload caused by certain foods.

Amy and Teresa give invaluable tips on how to deal with some parts of daily life that can be a minefield for diabetics such as; halving your restaurant portions, having stress free trips to the grocery store, and listening to your body and mastering those hunger signals.


You will learn to let your body control you rather than trying to control it, and how to manage your portion sizes without feeling like you’re missing out. It’s all about small, specific, positive changes to return the highest gains and improve your quality of life.
