Carolyn Hartz is an Australian who has recently made quite a noise. All because of her diet. 28 years ago, she decided to completely eliminate from her diet an ingredient that keeps many people awake at night. Sugar, along with salt, is considered the "white death." Its excess negatively affects the functioning of our organs, overall well-being, and also our appearance. Skin problems and, of course, love handles often arise. One day, Carolyn decided to completely eliminate it. What are the effects?
She's 76 and has been without sugar for 28 years
The Australian runs an Instagram profile where she occasionally posts her image. Many people can't believe her age. It turns out that Carolyn is 76 years old. In addition, she has three children, four grandchildren, and—as reported on the website Oh! Mymag—an incredible figure.
A positive attitude towards life must also be added to the equation. According to her, not only diet is important in life. Equally great attention should be paid to one's inner life. The woman has been practicing this for years.
I'm an optimist. I try to think positively even when I'm facing a big challenge. I've learned to think that the glass is always half full
- she said, quoted on the site. Maintaining optimism is helped by daily meditation and a proper dose of sleep. She tries to spend at least 8 hours a day in bed. The issue of physical activity cannot be overlooked either.
Sweet Life Without Sugar
Carolyn revealed that giving up sugar contributed most to her current appearance. Despite the excellent results, she stated that she does not recommend such a drastic change to people. Suddenly depriving oneself of something can have a negative impact on our attitude. According to her, the most important thing is to watch the right portions of food and maintain an optimistic approach to life.
Although Carolyn does not consume sugar, she describes her life as "sweet." Changing her lifestyle did not mean that she stopped eating desserts. On the contrary, she creates them. She runs a website with recipes and advice regarding a healthy, sugar-free life. She has also created her own mixes for preparing desserts at home.
