How to Avoid Sugar? 

Sugar is all around you, whether you like it or not, but avoiding it is a hard task.  But if you try, and stay away from it your body will feel more energized and healthy.

It is a fact that eating protein is essential for bodybuilders, and sugars and carbs increase fat.  When you eat carbs, your stomach breaks them into sugar.  It makes fructose.  Fructose is not a natural part of your metabolism.  It is not needed in your body, besides liver cells.   The liver cells are the only cell in your body that needs Fructose, yet we bombard our bodies with it. The rest leaks into your blood creates fat reserves.

"High-sugar diets have been associated with an increased risk of many diseases, including heart disease, the number one cause of death worldwide. Evidence suggests that high-sugar diets can lead to obesity, inflammation and high triglyceride, blood sugar, and blood pressure levels — all risk factors for heart disease. Additionally, consuming too much sugar, especially from sugar-sweetened drinks, has been linked to atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by fatty, artery-clogging deposits (A study in over 30,000 people found that those who consumed 17–21% of calories from added sugar had a 38% greater risk of dying from heart disease, compared to those consuming only 8% of calories from added sugar 

Just one 16-ounce (473-ml) can of soda contains 52 grams of sugar, which equates to more than 10% of your daily calorie consumption, based on a 2,000-calorie diet (This means that one sugary drink a day can already put you over the recommended daily limit for added sugar."
