This woman gave up sugar for ONE month and lost three inches off her waistline!

Arielle Calderon decided to do 30 Days of Meals With Absolutely No Added Sugar to improve her health, detox her body, and lose weight — and the results are incredible!

In addition to giving up sugary treats like desserts and soda, Arielle eliminated all added sugars, artificial sweeteners, syrups, and even less-conspicuous foods like honey and agave.

"I think many people associate sugar with cookies and cakes and whatnot," she wrote, "but what people might not realise is sugar is hidden in 74% of packaged foods. This includes breads, pasta sauces, dressings, etc."

And not only did she transform her health - she also saved a lot of money!

"Because sugar is in most packaged foods, I'm being forced to be more creative with cooking, using mostly whole foods," she said. "And because I'm planning out my meals, I'm saving way more money and buying fewer groceries throughout the week."

At the end of the 30 days, Arielle claimed to have fewer headaches, improved energy, fewer cravings, and she lost three inches from her waist and hips!

"Doing a sugar detox is seriously hard work," she wrote. "Planning ahead and meal-prepping was key to my success. Making the majority of my own food is the best way to guarantee no added sugar, and preparing saved me both time and money."

"The most recognisable difference is my smile," she wrote on Instagram. "I legitimately felt so much better afterwards, it was very eye-opening."
