Sugar Addiction
Step 1: Do not replace real sugar with artificial sugar.
To provide the sweet feeling we want without taking too many calories, manufacturers have created artificial sweeteners. According to a study, these sweeteners can change the way the body metabolizes sugar, and they are blamed for many events that bother us. A 2008 study found that mice given artificial sweeteners consumed more calories throughout the day than those who were not given it, resulting in weight gain. Researchers have noted that ingesting artificial sweeteners causes confusion between the gut and the brain. If you want to lose weight, these studies can take you away from sugar addiction. But the thought-provoking thing is that artificial sweeteners add to your sugar-laden diet. Replacing regular sugars with artificial sweeteners is just like smoking occasional cigars instead of smoking addiction. You still get the sweet feeling you want so that you never, ever get rid of that sweet desire that always calls you.
Step 2: Start an exercise program and add milk to your diet.
Too much sugar has been known to improve reward mechanisms in the brain, so breaking the habit can be very difficult. This means that if you have foods such as wafers, jelly beans, candy in your office drawer or in your home, you will definitely want to eat them. If they are there and you have to make a choice for it, there is a high opinion that you will want to eat most of them. And you’ll feel pretty good after eating, but only for a while and until your next cravings come … But what other way to quickly access all those good feelings without taking any of the negative effects of sugar?
For example, one study showed that consuming whey protein (the main protein found in milk) raises serotonin (the hormone that makes you feel good), and another study can boost serotonin levels through exercise.
Step 3: Say no to oil-free products.
Here’s the inside of lean foods; Fat (something we love and tastes good) goes and sugar (something really tastes good) comes along. Why is that? Because the producers sell you the product “without fat”, not without “sugar”. Known as notorious criminals; salad dressings, cookies, cakes, puddings and reduced fat peanut butter, etc.
Solution: You should consume full-fat salad dressings and peanut butter. In fact, the monounsaturated fats they contain will help increase your satiety in general. You will consume unnecessary sugar by eating too much because it is fat-free, and by eating small portions of full fat, you will reduce your sugar intake and become more saturated.
Step 4: Improve your sleeping habits
According to a 2013 study, circadian sleep cycles keep us away from snacking on junk food late at night. If we’re drowsy all day, we’ll have a hard time resisting a high-calorie dessert. No matter how much diet and exercise manage to keep you sugar-free, you won’t see any of these effects without getting enough sleep.
Step 5: Have healthy snacks nearby
One tactic that has worked for most of my clients is to have healthy snacks on hand. One day, while driving, a client suddenly finds himself in front of the ice cream parlor without realizing it. But suddenly the dried fruits in his torpedo come to his mind and he gives up his desire for ice cream. You can easily overcome such sudden attacks in the healthiest way if you have healthy snacks such as hazelnuts, almonds, prunes and dried apples that you can easily reach. Find the healthiest food that gives you the most comfort and keep it close to distract you. For example, like an apple in your bag or a small packet of fat-free salt-free popcorn …
