Sugar DetoxBenefits The word “Detox” has become a staple when talking about health, nutrition and weight loss. People go on many types of detoxes in the hopes that eliminating certain foods and toxins from the body will help them lose weight and become healthier. In reality, no detox packs a bigger physiological punch than a sugar detox. Read on to find out what a sugar detox entails, what benefits you can expect and a few tips on how to live without added sugar in your diet.
Why Is Added Sugar So Dangerous? It is estimated that Americans eat 22 teaspoons of sugar a day. That’s more then 3 times the recommended amount. If you’re a soda drinker, that number is probably double. How do we consume so much sugar each day? The answer is “added sugar,” the sugar that food processors add to things like breads, sauces and drinks. When people think about cutting out sugar they automatically think of dessert and candy. You don’t think about the amount of sugar in ketchup, salad dressing and other processed foods.
Sugar and processed foods release feel-good brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin.The brain and body literally get a “sugar high” and as the sugar leaves the system it crashes. You are left feeling weak, tired and unhappy. Much like addictive narcotics and street drugs, the brain quickly gets addicted to the good feeling it once had and seeks to get more of what caused it. In this case, that drug is sugar. Sugar is the real cause of most food addiction leading to obesity and diabetes in America.
What Benefits Can Be Expected From Eliminating Added Sugar? Eliminating the dangerous added sugars, sugar derivatives and artificial sweeteners from your diet can result in rapid long term weight loss. The food you continue to eat will leave you more satisfied and reverse the effects of food addiction. Without the rollercoaster of sugar highs and lows, you will feel more energetic and have a more stable mood. A sugar detox will help eliminate all types of food cravings and result in healthier meals and a lower chance of developing adult diabetes. Many people also report clear eyes and brighter skin as they remove sugar toxins from their bodies.
How To Sugar Detox Without Getting Sick and Grouchy The best way to approach your sugar addiction is the very same way you would want to quite drinking alcohol or taking drugs - full stop, cold turkey. Since the consumption of sugar causes a craving for more, it is difficult to get any results by simply lessening the amount of added sugar you eat. Most nutritionalists would recommend a three day zero-sugar detox to start you off. Once you have survived your first three days you can add back in natural sugar that is found in fruit and nuts.
Drink a lot of water to help you feel full. Eat foods that digest more slowly like whole grain oats and beans. Sweeten your food naturally with nuts and sugar as needed. Enjoy a fruit based dessert with no added sugar to help curb sugar cravings. Engage in other actives that release pleasant brain chemicals like cardio exercise and laughing and spending time with loved ones. Endorphins that are released during exercise are just as powerful with the added benefit of making your body healthier and stronger.
