 <br>We have all heard about the negative effects sugar has on our body and why we should be cutting it out entirely from our diet. To see if eliminating the sweet stuff really makes a difference, Dutch man Sacha Harland attempted to live for a month without consuming sugar or alcohol. The experiment has been documented in a six-minute Lifehunters video that takes the viewer through his emotional journey and resulting gratifying results: weight loss of ten pounds and decreased blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. The 22-year-old from The Hague, Holland, who ended the month-long experiment in September, says one of the most surprising thing things he noticed was the adverse reaction his body had when sugar was reintroduced into his system. He told FEMAIL: 'I got arrhythmia twice in one and half weeks when I started eating sugar again. What's REALLY inside top chefs' fridges? Trying to give up sugary drinks?

 <br>The DJ and producer says the [experience](https://www.purevolume.com/?s=experience) was tough as it altered his moods and made life considerably more difficult when it came to mealtimes. He continues: 'I was really grumpy in the first few days and all my friends were saying the same thing. I couldn't eat what I was usually eating, I was constantly focused on what I could eat and what I could not and it was a bit hard to get used to it; it took like a week or a week and a half. To make things easier for himself Sacha devised a week's worth of meals which he then rotated throughout the month. After a week or two I had a couple of meals I could eat regularly and that made it a lot easier,' he continues. When asked what he missed the most during his month of abstinence, his answer is rather surprising.<br>

In the footage, day one kicks off with Sacha visiting a sports physician to have his weight, fitness, heart and lung capacity and haemoglobin levels checked before beginning the experiment. Sacha also reported having high cholesterol, which he hoped the new diet would fix. His blood pressure, he goes through an ECG and his blood sugar levels are also scrutinised. The video then cuts to the presenter called Boris, who details all the foods that Sacha will have to give up for that month. These include ice tea which has ten lumps of sugar a bottle, tomato soup with five lumps of sugar per bowl and packets of stir-fry sauces, with 15 lumps of sugar per packet.<br>
