With Mother’s Day fast approaching, you’re probably wondering what to give the most important woman in your life. Why not give her the gift of health? With the 8-Week Program, she can enjoy delicious food, have access to relaxing yoga lessons and take back control of her life.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and finding the perfect gift for the special women in your life can be a challenge. While traditional gifts like flowers and dressing gowns are always appreciated, the gift of health is invaluable. Here are a few reasons why the 8-Week Program is the ideal gift.

Health benefits

One of the most significant benefits of quitting sugar is improved health – from the gut and brain to skin, hair and nail health; quitting sugar leaves no stone unturned. Excess sugar consumption has been linked to the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, so if you know your mum has a sugar habit, the 8-Week Program could be the key to fighting off addiction and setting her up for a healthy future. She might also find she has more energy, clearer skin and better sleep.

Weight loss

Many people struggle with weight management, especially those who are hooked on the sweet stuff. The reason for this comes down to the development of visceral fat that comes with too much sugar – when we consume products laden with added sugar, we’re often missing the antioxidants and fibre that protects our body from the stresses of too much sugar. Our liver in particular is put under the gun to metabolise it, and when it gets overwhelmed, we end up with visceral fat, which raises our risk for liver disease, heart disease and obesity. Our hormones like insulin are also affected, which can change our appetite behaviours and make it hard to lose weight. Our program can help your loved one lose weight by cutting out that risk factor and help them establish healthy habits and make smarter food choices that can lead to sustainable weight loss.

Improved mood

Excess sugar doesn’t just cause weight gain, it can also harm your mental health too. In the short term, many sugar lovers report mood swings, but in the long term, chronic illnesses like anxiety and depression can develop. By taking sugar out of the equation, you can help your mum stabilise her mood and energy levels by avoiding these highs and crashes.

Your mum can redefine her relationship with food

Many of us strongly associate food with painful emotions; think of those times you’ve turned to chocolate to cheer up after a stressful day. Some of us also associate them with exciting times like festive occasions and birthdays. Both of these can lead to an unhealthy relationship with food as we link it in with our emotions, making eating more about appeasing certain feelings rather than fuelling our bodies. We often look at foods as “bad” or “good” and place a moral value on our decisions, which can make eating healthy more difficult as we shame ourselves when we fall off the wagon. Here at I Quit Sugar, we’re here to take the guilt, shame and stress out of the equation and relearn how to eat to fuel and nourish our bodies – without fear! The program can provide your loved one with education about the effects of sugar on the body and how to make healthier food choices. It can also teach them how to read labels and identify hidden sources of sugar in their diet. This knowledge can help them make more informed decisions about their food choices and lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Support

Quitting sugar can be challenging, and having support can make all the difference. If your mum has been meaning to quit the sweet stuff but wasn’t sure where to start, this could be the best place. You might even want to join with her! It’s no secret that a sugar habit is a tough one to beat – wherever you go, sugar is there. Unlike with ditching alcohol, there are few places where sugar is unwelcome. From birthday parties and functions to the office pantry, Sunday markets and the supermarket. Is it any wonder that so many of us find it hard to quit the stuff? That’s why it can help to join a program like ours – our 8-Week Program is based on accountability, support and providing the essential resources to set you up for success.
