Stop Being A Slave To Sugar Cravings
Are you left craving something sweet just an hour or two after treating yourself to a muffin or candy bar? Given that sugar is thought to be just as addictive as cocaine, it’s not really surprising.
Contrary to what many people believe, being addicted to sugar and flour is not an emotional eating disorder. According to Dr. Mark Hyman, it’s a biological disorder, driven by hormones and neurotransmitters that cause us to crave sugar and carbs.
When we eat these foods our bodies release serotonin and beta-endorphin, neurotransmitters that improve our mood, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem. Naturally our bodies crave that source of happiness again and again.
It seems like a vicious cycle, and it is. But the good news is that when you give up sugar those cravings will stop. Dr. Hyman promises the detox will happen in 10 days or less!
If you need some help in getting through the first few days of going cold turkey, check out my post on how to eliminate your addictions. And just keep thinking how good it will feel when you’re no longer a slave to your sugar habit.
