YoutubeWhen people say they aren’t a dessert person, it’s a little shocking. Chocolate cake or candy are two of the things that can brighten someone’s day. Dieting can be hard because you have to give up the sugary goodness.
Of course, too much of something isn’t good for you, but once in a while it doesn’t hurt, right? By the time the weekend comes rolling in, you use your cheat day on something good; probably something that contains a ton of sugar.
But maybe you’ll start thinking twice before craving sugar after you hear about a woman named Carolyn Hartz. She is 70-years-old and is in better shape than most people who are in their 20’s. What’s her secret?
Her secret is that Carolyn has not eaten any sugar for nearly three decades in a bid to stay wrinkle-free and healthy.

Hartz realizes that it’s more difficult for women over the age of 40 to stay in shape but that’s no excuse. With a little hard work and motivation, it’s very possible.

She also includes protein in every meal which helps her feel full longer and helps stabilize her blood sugar levels.

But don’t think that Carolyn has completely deprived herself of having her favorite sugary treat: chocolate. She actually has 2 pieces of dark chocolate every night. Super healthy.
