Are you sugar addicted? You are not alone!I used to be intensely sugar addicted. I craved it all the time, and it seems like the more I ate, the more I wanted it. The fact that it made me feel terrible - first I'd feel the high and then I'd crash and feel spaced out - didn't faze me. I wanted my sugar. Just before I started to clean up my diet in my early 20s, I lived with my aunt, and I used to sneak frozen cake from her freezer - little pieces at a time, hoping she wouldn't notice![]
Unfortunately, sugar addiction is likely the reason that Dr. Jon Robison, nutritionist Linda Bacon (author of Health At Every Size), and most other obesity researchers, agree that eliminating junk food from one's diet promotes long-term weight gain and/or dangerous eating disorders. Research shows that dietary restrictions result in 95 to 98 percent of people regaining ALL lost weight. In fact, within five years, 33 to 66 percent of people regain to higher weights!Fortunately, ground-breaking discoveries about the causes of obesity have led to 100% natural, permanent weight loss solutions (e.g. Sophy's Secrets), which even work for sugar addicts.The above recent discoveries show that sugar addicts can only achieve long-term weight loss by: 1) maintaining a low carb/sugar/chemical diet (i.e. low devitalized/acid waste/"obesogen" diet), and reducing exposure to environmental toxins (e.g. "carcinogens" found in cleaning products that make indoor air up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air), OR 2) eating whatever you want while regularly removing dietary and environmental toxins from the body and consuming fat-burning minerals that refined sugar has leached from the body.Such detoxification and nutrient replenishment is as simple as consuming capsules of herbal intestinal cleansers, tonic (i.e. bidirectional), liquified herbs, oxygenated water, and "subtle-energized" minerals as well as sniffing certain essential oils and replacing toxic household cleaners with a multipurpose one that's completely nontoxic yet highly effective.
Along with the sugar addiction, I struggled on and off with weight issues.Everything changed when I discovered what the underlying emotional issue was and how to deal with it. Now I know that a sugar/carb addiction can be healed by taking care of both physical and emotional issues.When we abandon ourselves by being unloving to ourselves - with self-judgment, ignoring our feelings, numbing them out with various addictions or making others responsible for us - we create a big empty hole inside. What this hole really wants is love - our love - but since we are abandoning ourselves, we are far from loving ourselves. The empty hole is very painful, and food - especially sugar and starches - works for the moment to fill the inner emptiness.
The unique, powerful formulas of the above 100% natural weight loss solutions enable adults (and children) to begin losing weight without diet or exercise changes - within only 7 days! These weight loss solutions help the body to achieve the following results:gentle, daily detoxification (including removal of parasites, undigested proteins, mucous, old fecal matter, heavy metals, and environmental toxins from intestinal tract; removal of toxins from connective tissue, body fluid, and cell membrane receptor sites; elimination of refined sugar-induced acid waste from fat cells),nutrient replenishment with uncontaminated whole food concentrates, oxygenated water containing super-energized minerals and organics as well as tonic herbs, essential oils,restoration of metabolic and hormonal systems, including those that support sound sleep and a reduction in stored fat,normalization of taste buds that have been desensitized to delicious flavors of real food by refined sugar and bad bacteria,reduction of appetite and increased energy through cleaner, thinner, and less sticky blood, which can then efficiently deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells,lean muscle mass development and bone strengthening, immune system and central nervous system revitalization that leads to the improved cellular functioning as well as air purification (indoors) through a completely nontoxic yet powerful household cleaner (the body stores inhaled toxins in fat cells).
Man-made chemicals compromise the body's fat-burning biochemical mechanisms so only 100% natural substances can reverse the dramatic rise in America's sugar-induced rise in obesity rates. Like those for alcohol and many pharmaceuticals, white sugar withdrawal symptoms include lack of motivation, irritability, depression, difficulty concentrating, inconsistency in thoughts and actions, and emotional outbursts. Refined sugar has what alternative obesity researchers call a "two-hour cycle."Basically, sugar addicts need to eat sugar about every two hours or they'll start experiencing withdrawal symptoms. That's probably the true reason healthcare professionals (conventional and nontraditional) advise their clients to eat something every 2-3 hours. There is no credible scientific evidence that such constant eating significantly benefits health. However, it's the advice sugar addicts want to hear. For most of humanity's history, people were hunter/gatherers or farmers. Everyone worked hard all day long and ate one large, evening meal.Two centuries ago, eating three or more times a day was a luxury only the wealthy could afford. In the early 1900s, Western societies began accommodating a large middle class and members of this class began eating not only dinner, but also breakfast and lunch. However, human DNA/genes evolved on a one-meal-a-day diet, which enables the body to rest from food digestion and efficiently engage in repairing its biochemical mechanisms. With a sufficient amount of protein and saturated fat in one's diet, eating one meal a day should not involve significantly noticeable hunger signals.
Of course, the first 2-3 weeks on a one-meal-a-day "lifestyle change" may result in strong hunger signals throughout the day. However, once the person adjusts to such a change, he or she will be able to enjoy the health and weight loss benefits of "short period/daily" fasting. This type of lifestyle change enables the body to: Break down fat reserves and release stored toxins,Lower cravings for nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar and other drugs.Improve and invigorate digestion and waste elimination.Resolve inflammatory processes that have led to problems such as rheumatoid arthritis.Start quieting allergies that cause asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, hives, insomnia, and migraine headaches.Dry up abnormal fluid accumulations in the ankles, legs, and abdomen.Normalize blood pressure.Clear acne and whiten the eyes.Normalize taste buds that have been a) distorted by secondary taste buds produced by bad bacteria and b) desensitized to the flavors of real food (e.g. grassfed meat/fat, fresh vegetables, etc.) and hyper-sensitized to the taste of chemical food (e.g. refined sugar and other chemicals in processed food).Eating one meal day will speed the health and weight loss benefits derived from the above 100% natural products. A person who eats multiple times a day and consistently uses the products will experience the same benefits, but at a slower pace. However, eating multiple times a day tends to increase the quantity of refined carbs/sugar consumed. Consequently, multiple-meal eaters will need to use greater quantities of the aforementioned 100% Natural Products to counteract the effects of refined sugar.
Getting sugar addiction help is a little easier now that low carb diets are so popular but still a difficult undertaking on the best of days. Like true addicts, we all enjoy the occasional sweet treats that ruin our diets. If you have a problem with sugar chances are that the first place it will show up is in your waistline. Of course that isn't the only place that sugar can take it's toll on your body.Not all Addictions are Created Equal.Some addictions to sugar are more difficult to manage than others. Not everyone is equipped with the will power necessary to walk away from the sweet rewards that sometimes make life worth living.
Leads to Hormone Imbalances - Refined sugar elevates Leptin, Ghrelin, Insulin, and Cortisol Levels. Too much Leptin and Ghrelin = increased appetite; too much Insulin and Cortisol = Stored FAT. This hormonal abnormality is linked to heart disease and affects 10 to 20 percent of women in their lifetimes. In spite of a low-calorie diet, people with this metabolism-lowering condition find it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it.Increases Appetite - A high-fat meal can provide energy for 16 or more hours while a high-sugar meal provides energy for only about 2 hours. Thus, a person must consume many more calories throughout a 24-hour period to maintain adequate energy levels.Lowers Energy - Refined sugar provides a short-term boost in energy. However, the body quickly releases Insulin, which rapidly lowers blood sugar levels, causing a sharp drop in energy and endurance. Refined sugar makes blood thick and sticky, reducing oxygen to cells, and inhibiting much of the blood flow into the minute capillaries that supply gums and teeth with vital nutrients. Also, reduced blood flow deprives mitochondria (the body's energy factories) of its preferred energy source - oxygen. Mitochondria can burn sugar for energy but then cells lose protection from bad bacteria and fungi, which cannot live in high-oxygen environments. In fact, Dr. Tullio Simoncini says cancer cells are simply human cells that have been invaded by fungi. He is the author of Cancer is a Fungus.Disrupts Brain Chemistry in a Way that Creates Cravings for Refined Sugar - Refined sugar affects the brain in a similar manner as narcotics. A person can become addicted to sugar's stimulation of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, opioid, and dopamine. The brain becomes increasingly unable to properly regulate hormones that control appetite and stimulate FAT burning.In general, the body craves refined sugar every two hours. If it's consumed, the mineral-leaching. immune-system-weakening. acid-waste-creating.disease-promoting.hormone-imbalancing. appetite increasing.energy-busting. FAT-storing.Refined Sugar Two-Hour Cycle begins again.Fortunately, the metabolic disturbances created by refined sugar can be reversed with 100% natural products (e.g. Sophy's Secrets ) that detoxify the body and replenish its nutritional reserves. Unfortunately, few people know about these products because highly effective, uncontaminated (i.e. no chemical toxins) weight loss products tend to be developed and manufactured by small, private firms and sold (usually online) through personal recommendations.
No One Size Solutions.A successful program designed for the purpose of sugar addiction help will be sure to include various degrees of recovery for different people seeking help with sugar addictions. The problem is that everyone needing help with this particular addiction is interested in an all out cold turkey diet free of all great sweet treats. For a treatment program to be successful it needs to offer different services to those who need a more or less strict sugar free existence. This allows those who have diabetes to leave all sugar behind while those who simply want to lose a few pounds to cut out some of the sugar in their diets. You will need to identify the solution you feel will work best for you.
In his 2005 book, "The Biology of Belief," Dr. Lipton wrote that biology's Central Dogma was flawed because genes have no innate ability to express themselves. He stressed that something in the environment has to trigger gene activity. He explained that until recently, conventional scientists had ignored this fact, which had been established by frontier scientists.Dr. Lipton noted that epigenetics, the study of the molecular mechanisms by which environment controls gene activity, is one of the fastest-growing areas of scientific research. Science Journalist Gary Taubes is another 21st century, pioneer researcher.In his 2007 easy-to-read 500-page book "Good Calories, Bad Calories," he explained that high-calorie diets do not cause obesity or heart disease, unless those calories derive from carbohydrates, particularly refined sugar. He wrote that 150 years of scientific research shows that it's virtually impossible for a person to gain weight on an all-meat/fat diet. In fact, human populations throughout the world (e.g. traditional Eskimos, the African Masai, arctic people in Canada, Europe, and Russia, etc.), that consume all-meat/fat diets are universally fit with virtually no experience with chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc.
