RE: This Is What Happened When I Quit Eating Sugar and Junk Food

in #food8 years ago

i found that sugar became fairly unappetizing when the majority became GMO beet sugar and cane is sprayed with glyphosate for harvest. still, sugar was my most difficult addiction to break. compared to sugar, cigarettes were like taking a stroll around the block. i found a hack. i think it was in a book by Daniel Amen called, Change Your Brain, Change Your Body. it said, there are 6 patterns of sugar consumption. i picked the one that most sounded like me. the trick was 2 tablespoons of whey protein twice a day for 2 weeks. it worked like a charm. it was not only not difficult, it just fell away and, i found myself thinking, "now, why was that so hard?" that is when i figured out that almost all addiction is part trauma and part diet, too much or too little of something. when the diet is fixed, the addiction, in most cases, cannot continue. people with physical addictions, like alcohol should be careful, withdrawal from physical addictions can be fatal.

Sort:  

I have compulsive tendencies but I always thought that part of me was from being a creative maniac....I survived sexual abuse as a child and had raging issues that I've finally laid to rest. I read whey when prepared correctly as to not damage the proteins is a super food. I grew up on raw milk, milked my neighbors cows! However Mom gave us lots of treats as incentives for being a good kid and that is where my sugar addiction started.

it wasn't until i got healthy physically that my ability to handle my emotions finished growing and by then i was 40!

I was around 32 when I figured out I caused a lot of my suffering from reacting .... 40 I left my dysfuntional family for good! At least we grew up! <3

there is that. it's just, i see my friends and family in these self destructive loops and i remember being the person who wouldn't listen and didn't know it, and i know they have to do it all themselves. it's frustrating. i guess living by example is all there is.

That's the only thing we can do is live and teach through example. I tried so hard to help I almost died, that would of helped no one. Now I wait and pray they see the light <3

When glyphosate and it's immune plants went commercial is when I started getting very sick. However, I think I've always had problems with too much sugar. Genetically my clan and tribes lived sugar free, I think it's genetic.

sugar fueled, glycolysis metabolism, causes people to age faster. i wish more people knew this.

I have seen this myself, look totally different compared to my peer group ...
