Apakah diet gula berarti tidak boleh makan gula sama sekali?
Tidak. Tubuh tetap membutuhkan gula alami dari buah, sayuran, dan karbohidrat kompleks. Yang harus dihindari adalah gula tambahan (added sugar) seperti gula pasir, sirup jagung, dan pemanis buatan dalam makanan olahan.
Apakah buah boleh dimakan saat diet gula?
Boleh! Buah mengandung gula alami (fruktosa) yang disertai serat, vitamin, dan antioksidan. Namun, tetap perhatikan porsinya — pilih buah rendah gula seperti apel, stroberi, kiwi, atau pepaya. Hindari jus buah kemasan karena biasanya mengandung gula tambahan.
Apa efek samping saat pertama kali menjalani diet gula?
Beberapa orang mengalami gejala sementara seperti sakit kepala, lemas, mudah marah, atau ngidam manis di minggu pertama. Ini adalah fase “detoks gula” yang biasanya membaik setelah 5–7 hari saat tubuh mulai beradaptasi.
