Going sugar-free isn’t just about skipping dessert; it’s a “real challenge” for both your body and mind, asserted Kanikka Malhotra, consultant dietitian and certified diabetes educator.

The good news is, you don’t have to quit sugar all at once.
“Gradually cutting back makes the process more and helps your taste buds adjust.
