Have you been trying to cut down on sugar, but find yourself struggling to do so day in and day out? If so, you’re far from alone. Considering the fact that corporations have successfully promoted sugary products for decades, we have a generation of people who are addicted to the stuff. This leads us to our next point, which is that drinking tea without sugar is a great way to wean yourself off it.
A Gateway
The idea of going cold turkey is a lot—too much, in fact, for most people to handle. Sugar is such a large part of the food and drink we consume daily that avoiding it completely can sometimes seem downright impossible. But by withholding it from your tea, you’re providing a “gateway”—a method to ease your way into a sugarless life without it feeling cruel or unnatural.
Perspective Shift
The idea is that once you start enjoying the natural flavors of your tea without sugar, you may start naturally appreciating the rest of your foods and drinks. In the best of scenarios, you may find yourself uninterested in certain sugary products you once loved. And wouldn’t that be the sweetest treat of them all?
