SEVEN EASY-TO-FOLLOW STEPS
TO BREAK SUGAR ADDICTION:
Step 1:EATING BREAKFAST WITH PROTEIN creates blood-sugar stability and allows you to have enough tryptophan in your blood to manufacture serotonin.
Step 2:JOURNALING teaches you how to read your body and adjust its rhythm and pace to your own needs.
Step 3:THREE MEALS A DAY WITH PROTEIN maintains blood-sugar stability and prepares for the increase of serotonin production. Step 4: HAVING VITAMINS AND A NIGHTLY POTATO increases your serotonin level and gives your brain what it needs for serotonin manufacturing to work.
Step 5:SHIFTING FROM WHITES TO BROWNS turns you away from your love affair with carbohydrates and gives your body the positive effects of carbs while eliminating your craving for them.
Step 6:TAKING OUT THE SUGAR reduces the craving for sugar by eliminating beta-endorphin priming and thereby healing the addiction.
Step 7:FINDING RADIANCE, OR GETTING A LIFE, teaches you the behaviors that enhance the increase of beta-endorphin.

A re you a sugar addict? Have you ever wondered why you love sweet foods so much? Does chocolate run your life more than you want to admit? Do you joke about being a sweet freak? Does it ever scare you to feel so compulsive about wanting sugar? The questions listed below will help you understand what it means to be a sugar addict. When I say sweet foods, I mean coffee or tea with sugar, cookies, cakes, candy, cereal, soda, ice cream, sweet rolls, energy bars, lattes iced with syrups, chocolate, or any food that you know is sweetened with sugar, honey, or artificial sweeteners.

Are you unable to keep a stash anywhere because you eat it first?
Have you ever lied about how much sweet food you eat?
Have you ever told your kids you don't know where the last box of Girl Scout Thin Mints is when you know you ate them and put the box in the bottom of the trash?

Have you ever gone out of your way to get something sweet?
Have you ever gone far out of your way to stop at the coffee shop for your favorite drink and sweet roll?
