Tamil actor Arya recently revealed his love for sweets in an interview with Galatta Plus. He humorously stated, “There is no life without sugar,” and explained that while he tries to cut down 80% of sugar during his diet, he still requires 20% to function well. Arya mentioned that when not on a strict diet, he enjoys desserts like custard after every meal.
Dietitian Garima Goyal praised Arya’s “realistic” approach to diet, suggesting it’s better to reduce sugar intake rather than eliminate it entirely, especially when aiming for fitness goals. She explained that overconsumption of added sugars, often found in desserts and sugary drinks, can lead to increased calorie intake without providing necessary nutrients, complicating weight management.
Goyal emphasizes that sustainable dieting involves allowing occasional treats while still reducing overall sugar consumption. She also highlighted the difference between added sugars and natural sugars found in fruits and dairy, which come with valuable nutrients.
Individuals looking to cut down on sugar can adopt simple strategies, such as:
- Limiting sugary drinks
- Opting for whole fruits
- Reading food labels
- Replacing sugary snacks with protein-rich options
Goyal’s advice underscores the importance of managing cravings without letting them dictate dietary habits.
