Dear Saikiran, Thank you for the question

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate and is recommended to be consumed in a minimal quantity in your daily diet. Sudden, complete avoidance of sugar may potentially lead to hypoglycaemia.

For specific fitness and health needs start gradual changes in sugar consumption. We also recommend you to consult a health care professional or a registered dietitian for further guidance.

However, you can consume complex carbohydrates as they are good source of energy. You can include whole grains like wheat, millets and multigrain in your diet as they are a good source of fiber and other nutrients.

Here are few ways to avoid excess sugar in your diet

Consume beverages like tea or coffee preferably without sugar
Carbonated and alcoholic beverages to be limited or preferably avoided.
Consume fresh, seasonal fruits as they contain many essential nutrients and are good sources of fiber.
Try to eat a whole fruit over a fruit juice as the whole fruit contains good amount of fiber with essential vitamins and minerals.
Limit the intake of sweets, pastries etc

Being Mindful while eating is necessary to have a control over food choices, food cravings & hunger. Mindfulness is an intentional focus on one’s thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. Eating mindfully is when you are using all of your physical and emotional senses to experience and enjoy the food choices you make. Mindful eating encourages one to make choices that will be satisfying and nourishing to the body.

Hope we have answered your query.

Wishing you a great day ahead.
