Camila Alves McConaughey curates a 5-day detox challenge exclusive for Yahoo Life readers.

Take the Yahoo Life x Women of Today 5-Day Sugar Detox Challenge to cut back on your daily sugar. Follow along
with us as Camila Alves McConaughey and top experts show us how to cut back on sugar and form new habits every
day this week. This is day three of the 5-day sugar detox.

Imagine eating 42 and a half teaspoons of sugar every single day.

It sounds pretty absurd when you think of it that way, but
that’s exactly how much sugar the average American consumes when you factor in things like processed foods, pre-
packaged snacks, sweetened beverages and other easily accessible grub. Countless studies have shown that added
sugars lead to everything from bloating and skin breakouts to chronic diseases.

Cutting sugar is a crucial step toward better health. That’s why we embarked on a 5-day challenge in partnership with
lifestyle guru Camila Alves McConaughey — wife of iconic actor Matthew McConaughey — and her website, Women of
Today, for the Yahoo Life x Women of Today 5-Day Sugar Detox Challenge. This is a guided program that just about
anyone can do at home, with McConaughey and licensed nutritionists providing the encouragement and know-how you
need to clean up your eating habits and quit your dependency on sugar.

have with sugar, it's a very scientific thing,” says McConaughey in nutritionist Maya Feller with licensed . “Absolutely.
When people consume added sugars, it actually activates the pleasure pathways [in the brain], the feel-good systems
within the body,” replies Feller.

Like most drugs, sugar is addictive — but kicking the habit makes space for smarter eating habits and a better quality of
life. Ready to get healthy, one day at a time? Here’s an overview of the Yahoo Life x Women.
