More energy<\/strong>.\u00a0 When you start eating a diet that minimizes junk food and emphasizes healthy low-glycemic foods, the first thing you will probably notice is an increase in energy.\u00a0 When you have a higher quality fuel, your body will just run smoother!\u00a0 Eating nuts instead of chips, fruit instead of dessert, and raw vegetables with Himalayan pink salt instead of high calorie\/low nutrition snacks will give your body a welcome energy boost.<\/p>\n*Fewer digestive issues<\/strong>.\u00a0 Because a low glycemic meal plan is high in fiber, and because your digestive system works best when you exercise, you will have fewer troubles in the bathroom department.<\/p>\n*Better sleep<\/strong>. After the first few days off sugar, you will probably start sleeping better.\u00a0 The exercise will help you sleep better, too.<\/p>\n*Shrinking belly.<\/strong>\u00a0 Watch your waistline. You probably will see it shrink even before the numbers on the scale start going down. That\u2019s because most people are bloated because of sugar and iodized salt which are heavily laced into processed foods.\u00a0 Stop eating the sugar and salt and the bloating will go away.\u00a0 Belly fat will take longer to disappear, but the combination of better digestion and elimination, along with losing the sugar and salt bloat, will make you look trimmer right away.<\/p>\nBetter things are on the horizon.\u00a0 Obesity causes a variety of ills — like\u00a0 acid reflux, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, polycystic ovary syndrome, gout, and urinary stress incontinence.\u00a0 As you lose weight, any of those things will likely improve.\u00a0 Losing fat takes time, though.\u00a0 In the meantime, take note of the small changes and celebrate every step toward better health.<\/p>\n
