The Dangers Of Type-1 Sugar Addiction: Breaking The Energy Drink Cycle
As satisfying as they may be in the moment, don’t trust energy drinks to leave you with energy in the long run.
Even popular drinks like Red Bull can be dangerous if overconsumed; these sugary beverages feature high doses of caffeine that can lead to type-1 sugar addiction amongst perfectionists.
These individuals typically lack time for all the activities they need to finish during the day, so they reach for an energy drink to keep them going – but this is only a short-term solution that not only fails to give them necessary energy, but can actually wear them out further.
What’s more, these types of drinks can create a vicious cycle: one feels tired and grabs an energy drink to get a boost that only lasts temporarily before leading to depletion once again.
People then feel compelled to grab yet another energy drink repeating the vicious cycle.
But if you’re a type-1 sugar addict there is still hope!
It is possible to break out of these destructive habits and achieve long lasting energy without relying on sugary or caffeinated drinks.
Overcome Fatigue With The Shine Method: Sleep, Hormonal Support, Infections, Nutritional Support, And Exercise
The SHINE method is designed to help you beat a type-1 sugar addiction.
SHINE stands for Sleep, Hormonal support, Infections, Nutritional support and Exercise.
All five areas are essential to beating an addiction to sugar.
First off, make sure that you’re getting enough sleep – this helps reduce the craving for sugar as well as giving your body the energy it needs without having to rely on sugary snacks.
You can also look into hormonal support – if your thyroid isn’t active enough it can result in tiredness and sugar cravings.
Your physician can work with you to find the best solution for this issue based on your individual needs.
Infections come next – too much sugar consumption can flatten your energy levels and weaken your immune system which predisposes you to infections like the flu.
Having proper nutritional support is also important; consuming plenty of whole foods (like unprocessed fruits, veggies, grains and meat) will cut down on sugar consumption as well as providing you with all the necessary vitamins and minerals you need – so a multivitamin supplement might be a good idea here!
And finally exercise – don’t underestimate how helpful physical activity is in alleviating sugar cravings!
Even a half hour walk four times or more per week will go a long way in helping you beat your addiction!
The Risks Of A Type-2 Sugar Addiction: Why Stress-Laden Women Take Comfort In Unhealthy Food Cravings
Do you feel irritable when your stomach grumbles? If so, you might be a type-2 sugar addict.
Type-2 sugar addiction is associated with high levels of daily stress.
All that stress depletes your body’s supply of adrenaline, which could lead to a drop in blood sugar levels.
Chronic stress can cause the adrenal glands to produce extra cortisol and adrenaline hormones, but if those glands become overworked it can still cause a drop in blood sugar level -which is why many turn to sugary snacks for an energy boost.
Unfortunately, this only provides a temporary solution as blood sugar levels will soon return to their pre-candy crash level.
The lack of glucose can create feelings of anxiousness and make you desperately crave food just to make it go away.
Type-2 addictions are more often found in women who have complex lives that involve working and caretaking roles -all while trying to meet everyone else’s needs before their own.
When feeling sluggish from exhaustion, these people reach for sugary foods for an energy boost but this only creates problems in the long run.
So if you live under constant stress and find yourself reaching out for sweets often, then it’s possible that you might be a type-2 sugar addict
Overcoming A Type-2 Sugar Addiction: Getting Your Adrenal Glands Back To Normal
A type-2 sugar addiction can be difficult to overcome and often times, cutting back on a busy lifestyle is not an option.
That’s why it is important to support your adrenal glands with the right nutrients so that they can get back to their normal level of functioning.
The best way to do this is to cut back on sugar, caffeine and white flour intake.
Refined sugar and caffeine are known for spiking blood sugar levels while white flour digests quickly, leading to sudden dips in levels which should be avoided.
Whole grains take more time to breakdown in the body, leading to a consistent and stable blood sugar level so make sure you incorporate them in your diet.
Protein is also very important as it takes longer for the body to process and provides long-term stability when it comes to sugar levels.
Eating foods such as cheese, eggs, nuts or fish will help reduce fatigue from hypoglycemia caused by changes in blood sugar levels.
Small snacks throughout the day are also necessary if you want a regular flow of energy without too many highs or lows so stock up on protein-rich snacks at all times!
How To Overcome Type-3 Sugar Addiction And Beat Yeast Overgrowth In The Gut
If you’re someone who is particularly fond of sweet treats, then you’ll want to be aware of the associated risks.
Eating too many sweets can cause yeast to thrive in your gut, putting you at risk of type-3 sugar addiction.
This type of addiction is caused by a fermented sugar buildup in the gut, that feeds an overgrowth of candida albicans – a type of yeast.
This yeast releases a mystery chemical that’s still being studied and causes people to crave even more sugar-filled snacks, creating an unhealthy cycle that can easily turn into an obsession if left unchecked.
Over time this excess sugar leads to weakened immune systems, fatigue and even painful chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Type-3 sugar addicts will find themselves reaching for sugary snacks throughout the day – donuts and coffee for breakfast, candy bars and cookies in between meals or desserts at dinner time.
It’s all too easy for these individuals to fall into their unhealthy habits without realizing it until it’s too late.
Eliminate Yeast Overgrowth By Starving It Of Sugar And Maintaining A Healthy Diet
If you want to beat your type-3 sugar addiction, the first step is to starve your yeast overgrowth.
This means removing those cakes, cookies and other sugary treats from your diet.
The next four steps will help you beat the overgrowth, as well as decrease sugar cravings in the long run.
First, maintain a healthy diet that’s rich in protein and low in sugar – think plenty of whole grains, vegetables and fruit.
Second, incorporate prescription drugs like Diflucan or natural remedies like antifungal herbs (Coconut oil powder, grapefruit seed extract and milk thistle being some examples).
Thirdly, supplement your diet with extra nutrients (Zinc at about 15-25 mg/day), as well as vitamins A, C and D for a healthier body and better energy levels.
Finally, see if you have any allergies or food intolerances that could be making matters worse.
By following these five easy steps to starve your yeast overgrowth, you can finally beat your type-3 sugar addiction once and for all!
Suffering From Pms? You Might Be A Type-4 Sugar Addict
If you experience cravings for sugar around your period, it might be due to hormonal changes and insulin resistance.
Many experts believe that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is actually caused by reduced levels of hormones such as progesterone and prostaglandin.
As these hormone levels decrease during this time, the body starts to crave sugar as a result.
When you indulge in some sugar as a way to satisfy these cravings, the effects are only temporary and the cravings come back in no time.
Unfortunately, giving in to these cravings can cause an increase in insulin resistance.
Insulin plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels, acting like a gatekeeper that allows cells to access the required energy from sugars and starches being consumed.
With insulin resistance, however, cells don’t respond appropriately and too much glucose builds up in the bloodstream resulting in greater fatigue, depression and continued craving for sugar.
The Benefits Of Adapting Your Diet And Using Natural Hormones To Treat Pms Symptoms
If you want to beat your type-4 sugar addiction, it is crucial that you change your diet and only use natural remedies or bio-identical hormones.
To start off right away, switch over to a high-protein and low-sugar diet and avoid junk food, processed food, white flour and soda.
If suffering from an insulin resistance, follow the wellness prescription – a long list of natural remedies designed to alleviate certain PMS symptoms such as sugar addiction.
These could include primrose oil, certain types of fish and vitamins.
Certain natural remedies can be effective in dealing with PMS and sugar addiction caused by a prostaglandin deficiency.
Vitamin B6 can make it easier to cope with low levels of the “feel good” hormone – take 150 to 200 mg per day for three to six months and results are likely.
Natural hormones such as Progesterone can also be used while synthetic alternatives like Provera should be avoided because they may have side effects according to some studies.
Bioidentical hormones on the other hand, have proven positive effects through helped people enjoy improved quality of life according to a 2000 study in the Journal of Women’s Health & Gender Based Medicine.
