Are you addicted to sugar?

 
Halloween is over! But do you still have some extra candy laying around? 

Do you find it hard to go a day without some chocolate, soda pop, or ice cream?

If so you just might have a sugar addiction.

Oh no! Does this mean you need to check yourself into rehab or go to Sugar Addicts Anonymous?

No, not necessarily but if you finding yourself not making it through the day without your late afternoon  pop or candy pick me up then you might need some help jumping off the sugar high roller coaster.

When you eat simple sugar all that sugar is absorbed through your blood stream at once. So for that moment you now have high blood sugar. The problem with this is your body has a hormone called “Insulin”. Insulin is a storage hormone  and it’s job is remove all that sugar from your blood and store it into your muscles and liver. The major problem with this is insulin does such a great job of removing this sugar it actually removes to much…so from this you will end up with low blood sugar!

When you have low blood sugar guess what? Your body will crave MORE SUGAR. You will choose more sugar and start the up and down roller coaster all over again.

The nice thing is you can break this cycle and kill your sugar addiction with the right plan. Once you are off the sugar addiction you can have twice as much energy and burn twice as much fat than you ever did before.
