Sugar has glycemic index of 100 so each time you reach for a candy or drink a sweetened

activity.
You can always seek help from those around you, especially family members and office
colleagues who will either keep sugary treats away from you or will chide you should you
ever reach for them. This is a deterrent but who is to know if you will not go and buy candy
secretly.
