#1 Umm….STOP EATING SUGAR!
How healthy do I have to be? I dont smoke, drink, drug, or eat lots of processed food. If I want a cookie, Im gonna have one. Hows that saying go? Eat right. Exercise daily. Die anyway.
If this works for me I will give $5,000 to a charity of your choice.
Cant you just give me a pill?
So, Dr. Lipman:I get it and am thankful for the article and all the tips, too. Can you next tackle some real advice on how to deal with sugar addiction in children? Power struggles over food are not known to help decrease a childs food issues, and our culture makes it extremely difficult to take this on as our children get messages (and food marketed to them) that increases their addiction. Of course it is up to me to limit my childs access to sweets, and I do, but its not a long term solution and the craving is still there. Appealing on an intellectual level is also ongoing, but kids dont have a sense of long-term consequences.I am serious about real, non-simplistic, advice on this, btw.
Actually, addicts are incapable of recognizing reasonable limits….thats why theyre addicts….But people CAN recognize and place limits on their consumption of "junk food"…
Like any addiction, it can be incredibly hard to take the first step and get away from sugar.
When I first got away from sugar, I ended up losing 85 pounds in 6 months because I no longer craved the carbs, either. It was easy to stay away from breads and chips after I kicked the sugar.
Congrats!
Oh man. I dont know if I could give up chocolate. For me it is one small piece. I get one small piece out of the pantry, close the pantry and take the chocolate elsewhere. I get only that one piece per day. It works for me, but not my husband (who is like your friend).
Im glad it works for you, but you have to realize you are a very small sample size (literally
.
I know sugar is part of my diet also…I only eat desserts that about FAN TAS TIC….
drink water, only…no sugar drinks…and I am 60 and weigh 130lbs… I will never give up desserts that I love…What is the point?
Thats why he put it last. He wasnt recommending it, but saying if you are going to give in, giving in with fruit is better than giving in with candy.
Does anybody ever consider the fact that breast milk happens to be sweet tasting? Is not human nature to love the sweet taste….
no problem…if you dont have diabetes.
Reading this … I just went and got a piece of Pumkin Pecan pie with a couple of spoons of vanilla Blue Ice Cream…Loved it… Thanks HP>>
I love sugar but try not to go overboard, Ive cut out baking and buying "bags" of candy. When I want something sweet I buy a candy bar, eat 1/4 and put the remainder in the freezer, munch on what is left later on in the day. I never eat doughnuts or drink soda, I think you have to "pick and choose", foods that contain sugar. I could never do without sugar. MODERATION folks…is what its all about.
Addicts say exactly the same thing about cocaine, heroin, etc.
But it is just so sweet …. mmmmm
In all seriousness, thanks for the article. America clearly has a big problem with sweets and these suggestions appear to be reasonable and worth investigating.
Fruits sugar is fructose.
Still a sugar but metabolized by your body differently. It is also metabolized slower but sugar is sugar.
Sugar crack head that I am I could eat crates of fruit. But……...I know I am not kidding anybody. It is still sugar.
Ive quit drinking... Ive quit drugging... Ive quit smoking…
All I got left is the caffiends and sugar… cmon… gimme a break already!!!
I dont know that I have any interest in living a life without sugar. Its so damned good.
This is an EXCELLENT article. I am already doing most of these things. I am a sugaraholic. I dont agree with the suggestion to eat fruit as a substitute–fruit has sugar too…even though its "natural," it will still spike your blood sugar level.
Ive lost over 14 pounds by whenever I have a snack craving I substitute with 2-3 flavored almonds instead. If one does some research you will find that almonds are practically a miracle food for dieters who fight the dreaded sugar cravings.
its an addiction. an actual physical addiction. if people could just stop, im sure theyd love to have it be that easy
LMAO, love it!
I dont agree that if you eat sugar at breakfast the craving will stay with you all day.
I have cereal , hot chocolate , and yogurt w /sugar, for breakfast almost every morning and dont have sugar at lunch or dinner.
I rarely ever snack.
It doesnt seem to be harming me.
I am 63 years old, 110 pounds and wear a size 6.
Heres a tip: stop eating sugar
your breakfast smoothies made with banana, pineapple and whatever other sweet fruit is still sugar and your body will respond accordingly. If you want to help stop sugar cravings and give your body fuel that will last for many hours keeping you sated eat lots of saturated fats. They are only HEALTHY. Beans made with organic lard or beef tallow, coconut oil, butter are all healthy and delicious.
Thanks for the great tips. Sugar is definitely an addictive substance. I have the best luck when detoxing. It is easy to fall of the wagon, but important to get back on. I have a friend who recognized that when she ate a piece of chocolate, she would eat more and more, so she gave up chocolate--and has been chocolate free for 15 years.
