Sweet Tooth?

I have a very sweet tooth and I love chocolate and sweets, I also take sugar in my tea. I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners, but I'm looking for some way to cut down the amount of sugar I'm eating, because I have lots of cavities in my teeth and I've been gaining weight as well. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can cut down? And don't just suggest artificial sweeteners, because I've just said I HATE the taste!!!

Reply:Anyone who exercises intensely on a regular basis will know the answer to the question of how to cure sweet cravings, which is, of course, significant cardiovascular exercise.





It always amazes me how my appetite, especially for sweets, dramatically decreases after exercise.





Now Japanese investigators have performed rat experiments that validate this observation. My guess is the mechanism is related to a dramatic reduction in insulin levels after exercise.





Elevated insulin levels are one of the primary reasons for food cravings and if insulin levels are reduced, many of these cravings disappear. So if you haven't already picked up the exercise habit, here is a powerful motivation to do so if you struggle with sweet cravings.





Grains and sugars are often an overlooked addiction and the way to manage any addiction is though complete abstinence.





The reason most people struggle with giving up sugar is that they are still eating grains. The grains break down to sugar and perpetuate the addiction. Eliminating grains and sugars and eating properly for your metabolic type are discussed in detail in my new book, TOTAL HEALTH Program.





So again, the solution is total abstinence from grains and sugars.





The amazing thing that happens is that in about three days, the cravings disappear.





It is important to note that it is wise to eat some animal protein and a small amount of vegetables every two hours while awake when first starting this approach.





This will compensate for the secondary hypoglycemia that tends to occur when stopping suddenly stopping sugars and grains. These symptoms would be lightheadedness, fatigue, headache and a decrease in the ability to focus and concentrate.





This is only necessary to do for several days, as after that time most people's insulin levels will come into a new balance.





It's important to remember that no matter how devoted you are to a healthy lifestyle, it is nearly impossible to reach your goals if emotional barriers stand in your way. The energy psychology tool EFT uses a combination of kinetic energy input and positive affirmations to release you of your emotional "blocks."
