Give up sugar with these 5 healthy cookbooks

2022-01-12T00:03:58.271Z


Leaving sugar products behind is easier than you might think, but these recipe books and tips will make it easier.


Sometimes our sweet tooth can bring out the best in us.

We just can't help it.

But if you consume too much refined sugar, the dose of sugar can also destroy your health.

Consuming excess sugar is associated with cardiovascular disease, obesity, and an unhealthy diet in general.

Experts warn that one culprit is the added sugars used in processed foods like ice cream, soda, and candy, not natural sugars like those found in fruits.

The seemingly simple option is to cut sugar from your diet.

But that's easier said than done.

Refined white sugar lurks in many products, like prepackaged salad dressings and breakfast cereals.

And for those who have diabetes, refined starches like white bread and white rice act similar to sugar once the body begins to digest them, and can interfere with glucose levels.

If you want to eliminate refined sugars from your daily routine, you should know that you have at your disposal an arsenal of healthy recipes and food substitution tricks.

Cookbooks, for example, are an easy way to master both.

To help you start your new lifestyle, we bring you cookbooks that span the sugar-free spectrum.

From culinary diabetic bibles to intensive detox programs, these books will help you stay healthy while allowing you to enjoy variations of your sweets, cakes, and whatever else you love.

"Top Chef" fans probably already know Sam Talbot.

The season 2 finalist was candid about his battle with type 1 diabetes during the series.

Since then, Talbot has opened his Pretty Southern restaurant in Brooklyn and published two cookbooks, including one specifically aimed at low-sugar dishes.

'The Sweet Life' features 75 innovative and all-natural recipes along with life tips and tricks from Talbot, Halle Berry, Larry King and other diabetics.

The cookbook, however, is not just for those who have the disease.

It is for anyone who wants to eat healthy and fresh meals, without sacrificing taste.

On this diet, you will eliminate refined sugars, gluten, and dairy products.

You just need the right resources.

One great option is this New York Times bestseller.

This guide is packed with 108 recipes to help you lose weight, increase your energy levels, and improve your health.

These meals, snacks, and even candy were devised by some of the biggest names in the health and food industry, including author Sarah Wilson, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow and Curtis Stone.

Although the recipes are designed as part of an eight-week program, you may want to keep them as part of your routine.

And once you start feasting on dishes like mojito shakes and fluffy pumpkin chia muffins, sugar will become a thing of the past.
