When asked if he has hit his weight goal, Orry said, “No, I want to be 47. I think I am around 50-51 kg.”

Impact of zero sugar diet

Natural sugars, found in foods like vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, are considered okay to eat. But does a diet like Orry's sugar-free diet have weight loss benefits?

Foods and beverages with a lot of added sugar tend to be high in calories and low in filling nutrients like protein and fibre. Thus, a diet high in sugary foods has been linked to weight gain, obesity, and other chronic diseases, according to a study 2023 study by National Library of Medicine. 

Cutting out sources of added sugar may help you lose weight, especially when paired with a nutrient-dense diet, found a 2018 study published in Wiley Online Library.
