If you're addicted to or consume a lot of sugar, you may think this is an "unreasonable request" or you may think it's "impossible" to stop eating sugar. Believe me; I'm a sugar-aholic myself; if you reach into my pockets you may find a brownie or cake crumbs…
Many years ago, the same things were said about tobacco.
Now the world is waking up to the poisonous effects of refined sugar. In fact, in some cities, people eating sugary foods are frowned upon in the same way smokers are. Can you imagine; people telling folks to go outside to eat their sugary frosted flakes…
Removing refined sugar from your diet will eventually have a huge impact on your Energy. The week or so may be tough (you may be irritable or may feel your Energy is lower), but once you get past that you will definitely notice a huge impact on your Energy levels.
Note: beware of hidden sugar in your food. Look for some of these labels; sucrose, corn syrup, anything that ends in "-ose" … These are some of the many ways sugars hide in your food. If you're unsure, take a look at the carbohydrate content on the label. They are in just about every thing; but you want to see how many grams and begin your quest of avoidance or drastically reducing the amount you consume.
Simply eating piece of fruit can do wonders to curb your sweet craving. The next best thing to do is to get on a good multi-vitamin; getting an abundance of minerals into your system will curb your appetite and sugar cravings.
If you can, strive to avoid overly sweet foods altogether to help retrain your palate, which has become accustomed to and reliant on sweet foods. However, if you absolutely must have something sweet, and a piece of fruit isn't cutting it, try a sugar alternative such as Stevia.
As one of my health mentors pointed out to me; sugar puts holes in people's teeth (especially those who lack a good intake of calcium); think about the damage it does to the other body organs. Make this one a habit sooner than later.
