the last word...

I read a lot of articles on nutrition and diets... this article is really the last word. It explains THE KEYS TO AUTOMATIC WEIGHT LOSS.

I succumbed to sugar again and am back where I started. It is discouraging but not unsolvable. I understand the addiction side and it is real. But I don't really know what percent of relapsing is addiction and what percent is self-destructive behavior due to emotional issues.

Sugar is eight times as addictive as cocaine!

Dr Mark Hyman (Wellness Center, Lenox and author of The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day

Detox Diet) states: "Being addicted to sugar and flour is not an emotional eating disorder. It’s a biological disorder, driven by hormones and neurotransmitters that fuel sugar and carb cravings — leading to uncontrolled overeating."

This 1000% describes me and my struggle with sugar! It's nice to hear Doctors confirm what I've known... that my tries at eating sugar in moderation don't work. See Dr Hyman's TOP 10 BIG IDEAS... the 10 commandments of the detox.

I haven't been doing well in my attempts to detox - keep having setbacks as sweets are put in my path but I am not giving up. Today is day 4 and I was able to bring a few cookies home for my son without caring to eat any... not much willpower needed. The longest I went sugar free was 3 years but when I tried to reintroduce it the cravings came back and I let them take over and it led to weight gain.
 

Detox from Sugar

I haven't had any sugar (or white flour) for 10 days! I am back on the wagon as they say and it's amazing how much willpower I have now that it's out of my body. There were Milky Way bars behind me at work and I never even thought about them. That would have been impossible if there was sugar in my system.

A very well respected Dr and author has a new book coming out - how to detox from sugar and lose 10 pounds in 10 days. I actually lost 10 pounds in 7 days by giving up sugar, white flour and processed foods. I like the nutrition of Isagenix IsaLean Pro. I like that more Dr are coming out with this information. Sugar addiction is very real and is causing our population to be overweight and sick.
