While the benefits of giving up refined sugars completely are still controversial, many celebrities have taken the leap and decided to stop eating anything but natural sugars, and very little of them.
Discover the celebrities who don’t eat sugar and find out what their reasoning behind this strict dietary decision is based on. From Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Biel to Miley Cyrus and Jessica Alba.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Founder of lifestyle website Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the celebrities who don’t eat sugar who’s been very vocal about her reasons. “Today, over a third of the calories we consume come from sugar or white flour, which is highly refined and acts just like sugar in our system.
Our bodies cannot cope with such an enormous load. Sugar gives you an initial high, then you crash, then you crave more, so you consume more sugar. It’s this series of highs and lows that provoke unnecessary stress on your adrenals. You get anxious, moody (sugar is a mood-altering drug) and eventually you feel exhausted,” Paltrow wrote on her website, explaining that it took her a full month to kick the sugar habit.
