Do you sometimes want to know what's really going on in the world of nutrition? It can be quite confusing, can't it? Sometimes you hear that a certain food or nutrient is the culprit for our weight gain. Then again, you hear that it's actually healthy and can be enjoyed without hesitation. But before you know it, it's back on the list of fattening foods - and why exactly often remains a mystery. No wonder, after all, such information often comes from magazines or Facebook pages that have little to do with nutritional expertise. This constant back and forth makes it particularly difficult for people who are overweight to change their diet and achieve their feel-good weight.
But here's the good news: a lot has changed in recent years. Thanks to food bloggers on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, who make healthy meals look not only healthy but also delicious, and the fitness trend of recent years, awareness of healthy eating has grown. As a result, we have become more aware of what ends up on our plates and what is not. We used to be unsure about artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, but today health-conscious eaters avoid such substances with good reason: they are considered potentially carcinogenic, are barely recognized by the body and have no nutritional value - instead they go straight into our fat cells. And if these are already occupied, new fat cells are simply formed.
But sugar is not only a sensitive issue in our diet when it comes to artificial sweeteners. It is now clear that sugar is a real problem.
Have you ever thought about how much sugar you eat, either occasionally or regularly? Of course, gummy bears, cakes and cookies are sweet - we all know that. But did you know that pasta, potatoes, rice or supposedly healthy agave syrup also contain sugar, which in large quantities is anything but beneficial for your figure? If your answer is a hesitant "no", you are not alone. Because in order to understand this, you need to have at least a basic understanding of what sugar is and what role it plays in our diet.
But don't worry, there's no unsolvable riddle ahead of you. This guide offers you a 14-day challenge that gently shows you the way to a sugar-free diet. You will learn where sugar is lurking and how to distinguish between healthy and less healthy sources and types of sugar.
After this challenge, you will be able to prepare delicious meals that are not only good for your taste buds, but also for your body. Alongside sufficient exercise and targeted training, this is the key to losing weight in the long term and leading a healthy life.
Sugar: The energy supplier and its complex role in our diet
You probably know sugar as the small white or brown crystals that come in 1 kg packets on supermarket shelves. You may also think of rock sugar for your tea, powdered sugar or the coarser pieces of granulated sugar used to decorate baked goods. Whether it's gelling sugar for jam, liquid glucose syrup for confectioners or sugar for homemade sweets - they all ultimately belong to the same category and are notorious as the biggest fatteners in our society. But what is actually behind the term sugar and why is it considered so unhealthy?
The word "sugar" usually refers to household sugar, i.e. the white or brown crystals that you find in packaging. From a chemical point of view, this sugar consists mainly of sucrose, a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are one of three macronutrients that you need in larger quantities - the other two are proteins and fats. Proteins are found in meat and many plant-based foods, for example, and are essential for cell regeneration and muscle building. Fats act as a binding agent in the body and perform important functions in cell production. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are the energy suppliers, the "gasoline" for your body, so to speak. They are essential for your energy supply, but if you consume too many of them, they have to be stored somewhere. The body tends to store them in the form of fat, which can lead to weight gain. And yes, carbohydrates are found in just about anything that contains sugar.
But carbohydrates are not just carbohydrates. They can be divided into short-chain and long-chain carbohydrates, named after their chemical structure under the microscope. Short-chain carbohydrates consist of fewer interconnected molecules compared to their long-chain relatives. Their bonds are not as strong as those of long-chain carbohydrates.
Household sugar belongs to the category of short-chain carbohydrates. This means that this chemical compound can be broken down relatively easily and the individual components are quickly available for energy production. Long-chain carbohydrates, on the other hand, present your body with greater challenges, as it has to expend more energy to convert this chemical compound into a usable form.
In short, sugar is the turbo fuel for your body, so to speak. It provides quickly available energy. However, this energy boost does not last long, as the chemical compound is broken down quickly and the nutrients it provides hardly deliver what they promise once they have been eaten.
How does sugar work in our diet and why is dosage important?
Sugar, a carbohydrate, is one of the three main nutrients alongside protein and fat and belongs to the carbohydrate family. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for humans. However, not all sugars are the same, and our modern diet has meant that we often consume them differently than nature intended.
Sugar belongs to the group of short-chain carbohydrates. These provide readily available energy because the body can quickly break them down into useful components. Thanks to the enzymes in saliva, the breakdown begins in the mouth. This type of carbohydrate is found in foods rich in sugar, but also in natural delicacies such as fruit, which are often underestimated.
These readily available energy sources serve an important purpose in nature. Our ancestors had a hard time living in the wild, whether fleeing from predators or fighting with them. To quickly replenish empty energy reserves, readily available energy sources were crucial.
Long-chain carbohydrates are also important. Your metabolism needs a lot of energy to convert them into a usable form. This is why they contain less energy than they actually provide. Even if it seems ineffective at first glance, it serves an important purpose.
Short-chain carbohydrates were harder to find in the Stone Age, when our diet was different from today, while long-chain carbohydrates were widely available. The main source of sugar was fruit. For Stone Age people, getting a few gummy bears would have been a great treat, as what is common today was not available in nature. Today, to avoid a surplus of readily available sugar and the resulting excess energy, we must be careful to choose whole grains instead of refined carbohydrates and vegetables. This excess is directly converted into the production of new fat cells, which can lead to obesity.
So sugar is not necessarily harmful. It depends on the dose, as with any "poison". Carbohydrates are necessary for the body to function. Nevertheless, excessive sugar consumption inevitably leads to weight gain and is a major problem in today's dietary culture.
Which foods contain sugar in the diet and how can I recognize hidden sugar?
You now know that there are both short-chain and long-chain carbohydrates and that you cannot do without them; however, long-chain carbohydrates are better if you are deficient. What exactly is real sugar? Which foods contain it, how is it treated by the industry and what types of sugar are there?
Sugar is not the same as sugar
Sugar is on the list of ingredients in many foods. All foods, including yogurt, baked goods, almost all ready meals, spreads, sauces and convenience products, contain sugar unless they are labeled sugar-free. Even in this case there are difficulties. It gets more difficult because products with such an ingredient list do not always list sugar, even if they contain sugar.
Perhaps you will come across one of these names:
Glucose syrup (from gummy bears, sweets, etc.).
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar.
Milk sugar (lactose)
Saccharin
Dextrose, a sugar made from grapes.
Fructose-glucose syrup is a mixture of fructose and glucose syrup.
