Eliminate Excess Sugar
A diet that eliminates sugar means that your body will no longer have a lot of excess sugar to deal with. The body can process a limited amount of sugar in a day. Your body uses sugar for energy, but it gets sugar from fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates and from "straight sugar"--food items that contain refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup. When you eat too much sugar, your body cannot burn it all as energy fast enough, so it converts it to fat stores. By eliminating sugar from your diet, your body will only get sugar from sources such as produce and complex carbohydrates, which are more healthful sources and are processed more slowly so that sugar does not accumulate in the body.
Eliminate Excess Simple Carbohydrates
When the diet eliminates both flour and sugar, it cuts out a major source of simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, which are found in refined flour, pasta, bread, and pastries, convert quickly to simple sugars. Eating too many refined flour products results in the body having too much sugar, just like eating too much candy results in too much sugar.
Flour and Sugar Alternatives
If you are on a no flour, no sugar diet, you will want to find adequate substitutes so you can still enjoy a sandwich or a cookie from time to time. Because so many people have to deal with an allergy to gluten, there are many gluten-free alternatives, such as rice flour and potato flour products, that can also be used as alternatives to regular flour.
