Join me and Jennifer for a 10-day challenge. No carbs, no sugar. Who's..." The next day, he posted another photo of himself holding a giant piece of steak, saying: "No carbs + no sugar = lots of meat," eluding to the challenge. J.Lo also shared on Instagram how the first 24-hours had already, "taught [her] a lot about what sugar does to the body." She didn't go into detail—but, ICYDK, sugar can actually be quite addictive. In fact, as we've reported before, it stimulates your brain in the same way as cocaine. When you cut it out completely, you might notice some drastic changes to everything from your heart and brain to your skin and joints. J.Lo, for instance, noticed a change in her energy—something that's also a consequence of going low-carb. "So it turns out, when you don't have sugar and you don't have carbs, you're really hungry all the time," she said in another Instagram Story. "So we're here trying to figure out a lot of good snacks."

A-Rod, on the other hand, said he had eggs and avocado and was "dying." Day three of the challenge, A-Rod shared the couple's lunch: a giant salad with hard boiled eggs, cucumber, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, ground turkey and Brussels sprouts.
