Sugar Addiction Is a very Real Problem!
Here Are 3 Things I did to Overcome Sugar Addiction
- I have been addicted to Sugar for as long as I remember myself.
- As of Now I have been almost Sugar-Free for 1 Year Except for some fruits and Veggies that have sugar.
- No cakes, donuts, truffles, chocolate, Ice-cream, Macaroons, Sugar-Loaded Dressings, No cereal, no white bread, NO SODA.
- I might enjoy a Low-Glycemic (low sugar) Vegan Cookie 1-2 times a week but that's about it.
It was so Difficult.
- I beat Cigarettes, Pot, Gaming addictions. But Sugar was the Strongest Addiction of all!
- I would wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweat, dress up, and go to the nearest Gas station to get a Twix Bar.
How I beat it?
#3 Measure Your Daily Intake of Sugar
This Sounds so simple, but this is one of the most powerful tips here! Always look at the Nutritional Info on the back for How many grams of Sugar you are about to Consume!
Consume Less than 10 grams of sugar at a time!
Sugar Feeds every cell in the brain. That's why it's so rewarding and feels so amazing.
When you Consume a lot of Sugar at once you get Sugar High. Your Insulin Jumps up, Your Blood Thickens, Oxygen travels slower through your Body.
After Sugar High, Of course Comes sugar Low. Also Known as Sugar Crush.
Take a look at this Graph. This RollerCoaster is your body's Insulin when you consume Sugar!
The Less Sugar you Consume at once, the better this chart will get for You.
So measure your Intake
#2 Choose Better Sweets in the Beginning
- You think you are a man/woman of the word and if you say You won't eat sugar You Won't.
- That's not Practical, and you will always go Back to Your established habits after 1 day-2 days- 3 days tops.
- You have to create an Environment where you will Gradually shift from a sugar eater to non-sugar diet and it takes way more than 1 step to get there!
- So First, you want to eliminate foods Highest in sugar, and instead eat Fruits. Veggies that have Less sugar and are not Processed!
- Great Examples would be Bananas,Carrots(I love carrots) Apples, Berries, PAPAYA is Amazing for you, oranges etc.
- Don't Eat too much fruits! If you are choosing fruit over a can of soda it doesn't mean that you should go Ham on your fruits :)
#1 Don't Stay Hungry for a Long time!
- Now this tip is the most powerful of all. If you only take away 1 lesson from this post it should be This one!
- Sugar is the Fastest Source of Energy for your Body.
- Now, you can get that same, or even more energy, eating Protein, good-fats or Healthier carbs like : Whole Wheat Bread, Quinoa, Black Rice, Brown rice Etc.
- So when you are hungry your Sugar Cravings will get a Lot stronger!
- If you feel like you want something sweet ASAP and can't hold yourself, First eat something, like an actual meal. Then you might have a fruit. Some Carrots and your cravings will be gone!
