Sugar is every where. It is advertised on television, at parties, in drinks, and hidden in many foods. So, to get the sugar out of your diet, where do you start? The tips below will get you started.................
Know all the sneaky names for sugar.
Read food labels and get rid of condiments, sauces, and dressings with sugar in them. Learn to make condiments and dressings with out the sugar.
Eat fruit
Fruit is a great way to eat something sweet, and control calories. Just stay away from dried fruit or sweetened fruit.
Avoid artificial sweeteners
just a crutch. They keep you from learning to enjoy the natural sweetness of real food. There are also studies that show that they can make you crave sugar, not to mention the studies that show other dangerous health effects like cancer
Eliminate the white stuff.
White flour, white rice, and white potatoes. These have the same affect on blood sugar as sugar, and this will make sugar harder to kick. These foods keep you on the insulin- low blood sugar cycle.
Avoid juice
Even 100% juice is sugar water in disguise. Drink water, and if you must, only a splash of juice for flavor.
Try stevia.
Stevia is an herb that is very sweet and has a slight licorice flavor. While it is a stretch to make a whole dessert with stevia, it is great in coffee and on cereal. It may take some getting used to, but it is way better than loading your food with sugar or known toxic chemicals.Tip: Look for stevia in the dietary supplement section. It will not be with the sweeteners
Learn to use honey.
If you really need a sugar fix, eat some honey. Learn to cook with it. Learn how to drizzle it in thin steams. It is very high in sugar but, has other benefits that sugar does not and it is all natural.Tip:Buy honey local to your area. The local pollens the bees use to make the honey could help prevent some seasonal allergies.
Limit alcohol
.Alcohol is made from sugar. It acts like sugar in the body. Especially when you first are trying to kick sugar stay away from any alcoholic beverages.
Bring a low sugar dessert to share.
Temptations are everywhere. Show others how delicious a low sugar life style can be
Keep it out of the house.
Do not temp yourself with your child's pop tarts or your husband's ice cream. Tell your family what you are doing and then put your foot down. It is hard enough with out sweets calling your name all day long.
Eat sweet potatoes, red potatoes, and brown rice with meals.
These are the foods to replace the white foods with. Sweet potatoes make a yummy dessert with a little yogurt. Steam small red potatoes or some brown rice to eat with dinner. If time is an issue, cook these items ahead of time.
If you must eat sweets, eat them after meals
.After meals sugar has less of an effect on blood sugar. You will be less likely to crash and crave more late
Sugar is a hard habit to kick. Cravings will lessen with time. The longer sugar is out of your diet the easier it gets.
