A Kochi-based fashion model shared her weight-loss transformation on Instagram, revealing that cutting sugar was one change that helped her go from 86 kg to 50 kg. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal cautioned that losing 36 kg cannot automatically be attributed to eliminating sugar, as weight management also depends on overall calorie intake, diet quality, physical activity, sleep, genetics and other factors. While reducing added sugar can lower calorie intake, naturally occurring sugars in whole fruits and milk do not need to be eliminated. The World Health Organization recommends keeping free sugars below 10% of total daily energy intake, with a further reduction to below 5% suggested for additional health benefits. Goyal emphasised that sustainable weight management requires balanced meals, adequate protein and fibre, regular physical activity and sufficient sleep, rather than eliminating a single ingredient or following overly restrictive diets.
