Feeling different at first but not so later- You may feel a little lighter after one week of not in-taking any amount of sugar in the body. But later after a month it feels like normal without any change.

Discovering the willpower- For some it is not that tough to really follow a diet chart and cut off foods which may result into weight gain. With more determination, if one finally accomplishes his or her target of not having sweets then he or she will be able to rediscover his or her willpower in a new and amazing way.

Skin problem- There are also some ill-effects of totally cutting down sugar off from your diet. It may result into skin acne in a few cases. So, it is not always true that putting less sugar into your body will result into healthy glowing skin. It’s time to stop believing in this myth.

Fruits and nuts- One of the benefits of not having sugar is the scope of having more fruits and nuts whose sweet taste can meet the cravings for sweets. On the other hand fruits as well as nuts both are rich in fibre which is good for health.

Chances of making healthier choices- Amount of sugar in any kind of food varies from food to food. Without cutting down sugar totally, one can make choices of having sugary food with minimum levels of sugar in a diet.

Cooking new kinds of food- One of the amazing effects of reducing sugar intake is to make new kind of food items at home with sweet products like fruits and honey that do not let you put on weight. For example, one can easily opt for home made avocado based chocolate spread instead of ice-creams.

Not too much weight loss- According to some notions which say that one will drastically lose weight if he or she cuts down sugar totally. However it’s not true. There will be average rate of weight loss following the normal body conditions but there will not be any weight gain.
