How Can We Tackle Sugar Cravings

When I was searching for sugar cravings help online I came across a lot of information about why we crave for sugar and what it does to our body. At the same time there were many treatments and solutions to help beat the sugar cravings.

Apparently the UK is rushing headlong into a diabetes crisis fueled by increasing obesity. Both conditions are linked to the intake of too much sugar and refined carbohydrates.

When you pump your body full of sweet things, blood-sugar levels rocket and the body releases insulin in order to remove this excess of sugar from the bloodstream.

Where does it put this extracted sugar? On your hips, tummy and bum, in the shape of fat.

Sugar Cravings Can Be Cured

Most people's sugar cravings start right at the beginning of the day with a bowl of breakfast cereal, laden with delicious, sweet additives.

Even if you think you're being clever and eating porridge mixed with dried fruits such as raisins, you are still ingesting a fair whack of sugar. In fact, the sugar in raisins raises your blood sugar in the same way as white refined sugar.

Apples and pears contain fructose, which raise your blood sugar about 50 per cent slower than grapes; berries, plums and cherries contain xylose which releases blood sugar 50 per cent slower again.

Other culprits, aside from the obvious sugary drinks, are processed sauces and soups, which have often been sweetened.

Why Do We Get Sugar Cravings

For most of my life, I had sugar cravings. I was just like most of the people who has sugar cravings.

As a baby , I was raised on sugar and processed foods. Fast-food, snack cakes, candy, sugary sodas, and I ate all of it without thinking twice about what it might do to me and my health.

But this all changed when I turned 30. I began to notice how worn out I was feeling and how easily I was getting sick. I always felt that I knew a good deal about nutrition until I started to learn the powerful role that diet plays in our level of wellness.

One of my good friends is a nutritionist and works for a practice. She told me that as a nutritionist, she started seeing a common thread woven among many of her patients. They all seemed to complain of chronic fatigue symptoms, bloating, being overweight, constipation, and skin problems. And what is more fascinating is that they all seemed to confess to her how they constantly craved sugar and how difficult it was to break this addiction.
