"Refined sugar affected me from childhood. I started getting cavities when I was 12 years old. From there, I didn't stop eating sugar. I just kept eating candy, cookies, cakes, soda, anything sweet. I started getting tooth decay and it started changing my teeth, from white to brown from brown to black. Sugar wrecked my life."

Benefits of Reducing Your Sugar Intake
More Energy
Cutting out added sugar and replacing it with slow-digesting protein helps balance energy levels and provides you with a natural energy boost.
Brain Health
Studies show that brain function can be impaired and can cause symptoms of depression when exposed to a diet of refined sugars.
More Focus
When the body crashes from a sugar high, it rapidly changes mood levels. By cutting out sugar, you are keeping a constant, leveled mood at all times.
Cardiovascular Health
Too much sugar can be one of the greatest threats to cardiovascular disease.
