Before we talk about HOW to overcome sugar addiction, let’s talk about the WHY.
Refined sugar increases our risk for inflammation, cancer, digestive trouble, obesity, diabetes, other diseases, and accelerates cellular aging! Refined sugar also acts on the same circuits in the brain hit by many illegal drugs.
If you experience sugar cravings, this will help you go a long way in curbing it.
The good news is that your cravings for sugar can subside by focusing on a diet abundant in earth-grown nutrients plus doing at least a short term complete elimination of refined sugar.
I have seen this strategy work over and over again.
First, by creating an ABUNDANCE OF DELICIOUS REAL food, there is a natural crowding out of unhealthy foods without a sense of deprivation.
Second, the anti-inflammatory properties of earth-grown foods restore insulin sensitivity and cause the brain’s biochemistry to shift so that satiety hormones like leptin work well. Consequently, cravings subside.
Also, strictly eliminating refined sugar even for a few weeks can reset your brain’s reward circuits to crave less sugar. I highly recommend a detox.
Last but not least, the fiber in these foods feeds the good bacteria in your microbiome shifting it into a healthier state, which can curb sugar cravings.
Now let’s talk spices! The ones to focus on are:
1. Black pepper has anti-inflammatory piperine
2 . Coriander improves insulin secretion and reduces free-radical damage in insulin producing cells
3 Cardamom’s floral and dessert-like notes which reduce the need for added sugar. You can sip this in tea by purchasing #Chibtox Normal tea (Everyday Detox).
4. Sumac blocks inflammation in multiple ways
5. Turmeric curbs inflammation and supports the integrity of the gut lining. You can sip this in #Chibtox Joint and Bone Wellness Tea.
6. Nutmeg is anti-inflammatory
7. Cloves contain nigricin which can improve insulin sensitivity. Get Chibtox Women's Wellness Tea.
8. Cayenne / paprika have capsaicin which curbs inflammation and boosts healthy bugs in our gut
9.Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde which is anti-inflammatory and improves insulin signaling. Use True cinnamon for its lower liver toxin levels.
