A Balanced Approach to Wellness!

Sugar addiction is generally stronger than addiction to nicotine. It is an addiction that starts in infancy or childhood so that its foundation is deep-seated and broad. To break sugar addiction requires more than a desire to limit sugar intake. The pull of sugar outweighs most people’s ability to resist its tremendous power.

The way to beat sugar cravings is as follows:

  • Eat a diet high in at least two of these food items: (a) bell peppers; (b) nuts, such as walnuts and pecans; (c) sesame products, such as tahini and sesame oil; and/or (d) seaweed, such as dulse and wakame. During this time, drink extra liquids such as water and chicory drinks (chicory drinks that aren’t mixed with coffee).
  • Eat amounts of food that fill but don’t overfill. A meal that leaves a sense of something missing usually leads to consumption of a sugary food item.
  • When a sugar pull is felt, do three things immediately: (a) do deep breathing exercises for two minutes; (b) think about a future goal; and (c) empty your mind–no thoughts–for a minute or two.
  • Learn about health afflictions that are caused by sugar consumption.
  • Remove tempting sugary food items from your home. If other people living in your home object, reduce as much as possible the items that tempt you.
  • Design your days to include moments of deep breathing, moments of mild physical activity, and moments of fresh air.

Sugar addiction is powerful, but can be overcome by training your body to respond to the sugar pull clearly–>through eating foods that temper the pull, through breathing exercises and directed thought processes, through education about sugar’s harmful effects on your body, through careful purchasing, and through thoughtful activities that refresh and realign your body. The six steps listed above, when all included in daily living, will guarantee a path to release from the stranglehold of sugar addiction.
