Feeling the sugar struggle? We’re right there with you. So, we decided to have a giggle at ourselves this week with a little GIF story.


Like many people, we too, struggle with a love-hate relationship for sugar. But thanks to our recent research on the scientifically proven side effects of too much sugar, and our look at whether quitting sugar could be the answer… we now know that too much of the sweet stuff is not good for us.

But, ahhhh… getting used to life without a lil sugar in our tea or that after-dinner chockie biscuit takes us on a roller coaster of motivation and emotions. And when it gets too tough, and we find ourselves failing over and over; we like to laugh about it, smile and try again.

So today, we thought we’d have a giggle about how hard it is to cut through all the confusion about sugar and how hard it is to deal! Here’s a GIF story about the sugar struggle.

Don’t you worry about sugar…

Because actually, it’s fat that’s our frenemy. So stay away from that.

Wait, ignore that, we’ve had another look and sugar is the baddie.

Also, ease up on those desserts…

Just remember that you’ll probably give in, because change is difficult!

But the more you persist, the better you’ll get at passing it up
