Do You Have Super High Craving For Sugar And Carbs? Here Are Powerful Tips To Overcome Sugar Addiction.

I say this every time the topic comes up on my emails, social media and other forums. I always get down-voted to hell. Even with studies comparing sugar to cocaine, nobody wants to believe sugar is so dangerous. But holy shit... most fitness influencers online are something else. I'd joke that some of them are sponsored by Cola Cola or Pepsi, because the pure speed that the "sugar is bad for you" posts would be down voted to obscurity is astonishing. It gets buried immediately.

So not only will you get fat, but you're literally killing yourself on sugar even when you cheat. Damn it!!! All those ice creams, granola's, and dark chocolates e.t.c are killing you especially when you bend, but don't break!!!

Sugar is straight up a f**king drug, compared to cocaine, it is very dangerous and should be regulated as such. Here’s a fun experiment: next time, when you allow yourself, try to eat one piece of processed sugary candy (a gummy bear or Swedish fish or something). Soon, you’ll find that all you can think about is more of that candy (just like a junkie looking to get his next fix). It’s so subtle though that you don’t really consciously think about it, it just kinda happens. Next thing you know, you finish a whole box and wonder where your life has gone.

Personally, I have seen people been using sugar to manage depression, and it only makes everything wrong in their life more worse. This is because some are addicted to it and still haven't been fully able to kick the sugar even though all these years.

Quitting smoking or drugs is a cinch compared to regulating food. For  smoking, you just don't smoke anymore. But with food - oh here's the thing you are addicted to, how's about you have to eat some form of it every day. Exhausting. It may take you long to get to the point where you can specifically pass up foods that you don't want to eat, but it can be a SLOG. And very rarely do people want to meet up to have a cigarette. But everyone and their mom wants to go out for lunch. Guess it depends on the person. In instance of smoking, you can just go to a doctor and use a special product to quit smoking. There is no "just stop" for sugar. Sugar on the other hand is comparatively simply hard to cut down on.

We are all the same! Sugar is crack and its everywhere! You find it in bread, candles, coffee, milk, french fries, chips, pretzels, and many more. The insatiable feeling with no full reflex is exactly what most people are after! They certainly enjoy not feeling the dreaded lack.

It hurt so much to read a lot of people going through carbs addiction, especially when wanting to loss weight. If you're eating sugar while burning fat you are in for a mess. Eating carbs can cause your weight to come back again after losing it back. The best you can do is to stop eating carbs. Don't eat things like bread pasta or rice...do that all week. Then the following week cut out the rest of the sugar. Buy some easy meat like sausages and ham and bacon. Buy some eggs and low carb wraps grab a thing of frozen spinach and cauliflower and give it a try. Do it! Get rid of everything or buy yourself some nice keto food.

You may never really understand what is going on with your eating habits until you cut the carbs. Also, some people have intolerance to carbs. For carbs, as soon as they start eating them, everything goes sideways. A carb bender gives them a hangover. They feel like garbage for some days, get super bloated and puffy, digestion goes wackadoo, all anxious and grouchy and miserable. Carbs are ALWAYS tasty, but afterwards they ALWAYS feel crap and wish they hadn’t indulged, every time.

At some point, you will realized that you arguing with reality whenever you eat carbs, like thinking that it would somehow be different this time. However, it’s never different. You might just be addicted. You have to avoid bad carbs. if ain't good enough, you need to stop desiring bad carbs like drugs. You can't understand the drive to get 1 more hit of excessive starchy, sugary carbs. You won't realize what addiction felt like until then.

Excessive carbs can cause your insulin levels to raise. So when your insulin sensitivity is increased, you're prone to diabetes. First thing you need to do is to quit sugar. And if you are looking to lose weight and control your carbs addiction, then Keto is one way to go. With Keto you will understand how important to control addiction to proper fuel. The wide availability of carbs and bad nutritional standards does not help us at all and now my heart breaks for those who really believe it is some kind of personal failing on their part --- when the science shows it has nothing to do with willpower (or how much you exercise). A carb-addicted brain is never going to regulate itself and fighting against it feels so impossible. You need to fuel your body properly the next time. 

I found that intermittent fasting really helped some people with breaking free of the carbs too. I even had a doctor prescribing a med (I think it's naltrexone) to take if sugar craving got bad.

I heard a quote ‘treat your body like it belongs to someone you love’ and that’s what did it for some people. It's very hard to imagine but wonder why most people stuff their body with garbage foods. Once you learn there are a ton of 'low carb alternatives', really it becomes easy. Sola bread is still the best out there (for bread, to make french toast, or for burger buns). Breyer's does amazing low-carb ice cream that is AMAZING with sprinkled salt and cacao powder on top. Walmart has good red lentil pasta that tastes great al-dente. I prefer it over the 'miracle noodles' - they're gross. You need to keep up the ride to avoid sugar as much as possible.

The ride will take you to a place where you feel better. Carb/sugar temptations are difficult to control. Things that may help is to drink water or mineral water. Sugar free sodas are not too bad, but the sweetness can lead you to potato chips or some other snack. If you are really craving a soda, you can mix it with mineral water. Pretty much, if you feel hungry but a bowl of vegetables will not do the trick, then you do not need to eat and probably have not drank enough water. Food began to taste better once slowly began to cut out added sugars.

However, for cheat days, you can have  one treat during the day or some extra carbs at one meal. For example, you can have a delicious keto dinner but I added a baked potato. And honestly this will not cause changes to your weight loss. This may not be the best practice, but it seems to work if you’re not doing it too often. You can do.  Just try. Don't eat bread pasta or rice...do that all week, then the following week cut out the rest of the sugar. Buy some easy meat like sausages and ham and bacon buy some eggs and low carb wraps grab a thing of frozen spinach and cauliflower and give it a try.

Even if you go on a 1, 2 , 7 days bender, your diet regime (e.g Keto, Paleo) will forgive you and welcome you back with open arms. Just starts with some eggs and sausage for breakfast/lunch and then steak and broccoli for dinner and you’re on your way!

You can still have barley and potato in your beef stew, but carefully weighed and portioned now and then. However, with time, you will find they are less and less worth it.

Carbs are just a convenient vehicle to get real food in the mouth. And forks, spoons, low carb veggie options and some things like 0 carb bread and low carb tortillas can do the same thing.
