Check labels on food products you purchase, to avoid consuming too much sugar.
Remember that food packaging labelled ‘low-fat’ or ‘less fat’ is usually high in sugar. When purchasing food products, check the ingredients list.
If sugar is listed as one of the first four ingredients, then it’s best to avoid that product as it’s likely to be high in sugar.
When checking food packaging, avoid any products that contain high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, rice/corn/malt/golden/palm syrup, corn sweetener, dextrose, maltose and sucrose, as these are common sugar aliases.
Eating too many carbohydrates can be an overload on the body, converting this to sugar, which will eventually, if not burnt through physical movement, will turn to fat and be stored.
When fat is broken down, it is converted into Ketone particles, which are mostly treated as waste by the body, these are excreted in the urine or on the breath.
It is essential to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day to help your body excrete the Ketones you or could risk kidney problems.
