5 Tips to Reduce Sugar Consumption

Published On:

We know that we should not abuse it, but we have a hard time setting limits—our tips for eating less sugar and reducing your intake without frustration.

 

Play the aroma card

According to a recent study published by Danish researchers in the journal Foods, vanilla best reduces sugar to enhance its desserts. Banana, elderflower, honey, or raspberry also reinforce the perception of sweetness.

 

Take the time to savor

Let it be a cake, chocolate… If you focus on what you eat, the pleasure you feel decreases as you bite it. Efficiency guaranteed!

 

Reduce sugar in its recipes by 20%

It’s an easy habit to take adopted by pastry chefs who revisit traditional desserts. And it’s still good!

 

Don’t offer several desserts at the table.

A study on Professor Marc Fantino’s eating behavior shows that no longer feeling pleasure eating a cake because one is satisfied does not prevent keeping intact the desire to taste a second or even a third. It is therefore in our best interest to avoid multiplying the possible choices during dessert.

 

Bet on good coffees, teas, or yogurts

It is better to choose products tasty enough to finish on a gourmet note at the end of a meal without absolutely needing to sweeten them.
