Sugar addiction

[mambios]

Any fellow sugar addicts out there?

I'm in the midst of commencing a health kick - lots of water, exercise, quitting smoking etc.

All is going well except for one thing - I can't knock sugar on the head! Cakes, chocolate, biscuits, sugary tea, I am finding I am wasting many empty calories on the sweet stuff.

I lived for years, never eating a bit of sugar. I don't have a shred of a sweet tooth, and I just went along and never ate sugar because I knew the calories were bad.

Somewhere along the way, though, I discovered sugar. I discovered how absolutely great you can feel after eating a candy bar!:D In all my years of kind of going along, feeling "regular", it had never occurred to me that I could eat a candy bar and feel like running a marathon. :)

The trouble with sugar, though, isn't just that the calories are empty. Those calories do a whole different thing than the calories from a little tuna salad would do.

I'm guessing you may want the sugar if you've quit smoking and are feeling a little less than your previous, zippy, smoking, self. I can only guess that gradually cutting back on the sugar over the course of several days may be the way to go.

I used to be a sugar addict and i know that it is very bad for the health because you tend to store glycogen and be a body fat in the liver. So moderating and cutting it back is the best idea
