Are You Ready to Kick the Sugar Cravings Once & For All?
Like most Americans, I used to be addicted to sugar. I was tired all of the time, and needed that afternoon pick-me-up or that quick sugary fix to keep me going. And despite the jolt of energy most of us experience after eating a sugary treat, the reality is that sugar is terrible for one’s health. So let’s face it, it’s time to get the sugar cravings under control.
Many people don’t understand how detrimental sugar can be. It’s more addicting than drugs, one of the major toxins, and leads to inflammation and weight gain, depletes the adrenals, and leads to other serious health problems.
Put simply – sugar burdens your body.
What’s worse is that it’s hidden in most of the foods you’ll find at your local grocery store. I challenge you to grab a few items out of your pantry and read the labels. You will be shocked at what you find. Your favorite store-bought granola bar that claims to be filled with vitamins and minerals, is most likely made with mostly sugar.
But what about the “sugar-free” alternatives? The truth is, most “sugar-free” options are often packed with artificial sweeteners and these are even worse for your body than sugar. They slow down the metabolism and disrupt the endocrine system, among other unwanted side effects.
If you get those cravings when you are at a party, or find yourself eating your child’s graham crackers, or grabbing a diet soda out of the cooler at the store, you are probably addicted to sugar. Experience headaches, fatigue and exhaustion when you don’t eat sugar? That’s your body urging you to satisfy the desire.
