Sugar addiction: are you an addict?

This is not (really) a rant of sugar because let’s face it you’ve heard before. I am well aware that too much sugar makes you fat and has disturbing ties of type 2 diabetes. Do you know the facts, then don’t you sponsor with a concoction of sensationalist statistics. Is there a question you need to ask though, isn’t anything special, but it’s important I’m addicted to sugar? ‘ A minute, think about it. Addiction is when you cannot control a behavior or action, it can control how much sugar you eat?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SUGAR ADDICTION?

First of all you are not alone; sugar addiction is probably more common than alcoholism, drug addiction and gambling. Why? Simple, sugar is everywhere, not just in your cup of tea, cakes, biscuits or can of Coke. Sugar has hidden his way into the most unlikely foods like soups, breads and even ketchup.

Secondly the sugar acts the same way as certain illicit drugs. At least if we are as strictly to our cousin the abduction as scientists seem to believe. The researchers showed that a whopping 94% of the rat he preferred the taste of sugar and sweeteners by cocaine. Food addiction is plausible because the brain pathways respond to sugar the same way as addictive drugs Act.

Thirdly sugar is toxic; by now you are probably beginning to see the bigger picture. Sugar is addictive and like any addictive substance it is toxic. The reaction mightn ‘t be as obvious as what comes with a cocaine overdose, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of “it’s only sugar”, excess sugar consumption overtime is deadly. Teeth decay, diabetes, bad skin, nutrient deficiencies, obesity all as hand in hand with sugar addiction.

WHO ARE THE PUSHERS?

If sugar is addictive “who are the pushers? Stop reading now if you are worried about the answer.

It’s you, it’s your partner, it’s the kids, it’s the food industry–it’s anyone who feeds your sugar habit!

Everyone who knows you, who knows that you are overweight or struggling with type 2 diabetes is responsible for helping you to keep away from sugar rather than feed your habit.

A drug addict is locked in a room, an alcoholic goes to a clinic, yet a sugar addict cannot avoid their addictive substance. This lack of industry support, lack of societal support is not to be underestimated. It takes a very strong reserve to kick at sugar habit.

Having worked with many people who struggle with severe sugar cravings, I have come across some sure-fire ways of battling sugar addiction.

Take every hour one step at a time. Start by giving up sugar today-just today. Focus on tomorrow when it comes.
Giving up sugar. This sounds harsh, but like any other medication, you can not only cut it if you are really employees, it’s all or nothing. The taste is just a tease and bring back all those feelings that come with a shot of sugar.
The ditch white bread. Has a high glycemic index meaning has quickly broken down and digested. It won’t be long before you start getting the cravings. Instead of going for whole grains, are a lot more satisfying.
Beef protein. Protein takes longer to digest more carbohydrates as well including a small protein in each meal will keep you full of feeling and desire at Bay.
Meet your life. It’s hard to give up something you love without replacing it with something else. Sugar is a crutch for many people, if you give it up, focus on something else that cheer you up if exercising or watching your favourite SOAP.
Naturally sweeten up. Berries and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg will sweeten your foods and reduce the desire.
Eat 3 meals a day. Eat little and often. For many people, if you don’t regularly eat, drop your blood sugar levels, you feel hungry and are more likely to crave sweet sugary snacks.
Get support. Tell family and friends that you’re out of sugar, so when they call around aren’t weighed down with cakes and cookies.
