What I Eat on a Low-Sugar Day

 # What I Eat on a Low-Sugar Day

Cutting back on sugar doesn't mean starving or giving up taste.  

For me, it’s about feeling steady, focused, and light throughout the day.

Here’s a snapshot of what I typically eat on a low-sugar day:

---

## 🍳 Breakfast – Salty Tea & Healthy Fats

Instead of sugar-heavy cereals or coffee, I start my day with:

- **Salt tea**: 1 tsp of high-quality salt dissolved in a cup of warm water  

  → It helps restore electrolytes and gives my brain a warm jumpstart.  

- **A handful of nuts** (almonds, walnuts, cashews)  

- Sometimes a boiled egg with olive oil & sea salt

🧠 I feel alert without the caffeine crash — and my digestion starts easy.

## 🥗 Lunch – Protein + Veggies

Lunch is the heart of my day, so I go for balance:

- Grilled chicken or tofu  

- Roasted or steamed seasonal veggies (broccoli, zucchini, carrots)  

- A few slices of avocado  

- Olive oil and lemon juice for dressing

I avoid rice, bread, or any sweetened sauces.

## 🥤 Snacks – Low-Sugar Options

When I get hungry between meals, I reach for:

- **Plain yogurt** with chia seeds  

- **Frozen blueberries** or cucumber slices  

- **A small protein bar** (with <3g sugar)

These keep me full and focused without a blood sugar spike.

## 🍲 Dinner – Light and Early

Dinner is usually around 6 or 7 PM:

- A small portion of protein (fish or eggs)  

- Stir-fried cabbage or kimchi  

- A cup of warm herbal tea (chamomile or ginger)

I skip dessert, and honestly — I don’t even crave it anymore.

## 💬 Final Thought

This kind of day doesn’t feel like a “diet” — it feels like clarity.  

No sugar crashes. No foggy brain. Just steady energy and simple meals.

If you’ve been thinking about lowering your sugar intake,  

**start with one meal a day.**  

You might be surprised at how good you feel.
