Part II of Cravings, Sugar Sensitivity, and Weight Loss

 

Tips for The Sugar Sensitive

Being sugar sensitive gives us the opportunity to make different choices to support our bodies.  We can use activities in life to produce the brain chemical changes necessary to reduce the use of sugar.  It is a far healthier choice to produce beta-endorphins and seratonin naturally through activity than to stimulate the production with a legal drug…sugar.

 

 Here are some of my favorite ways to curb the need for sugar, gain energy, gain mental clarity and feel great!

 

  1. Do something physical like dancing or taking a walk this will boost your bodies production of beta endorphins and seratonin (the feel good chemicals)
  2. Have a massage or rub some lotion into your hands and feet.  This stimulates the feel good chemicals too!
  3. Do some deep breathing.  In through the nose for a slow count of 5, then out through the mouth for a slow count of 5.  Repeat the process for about 5 minutes.
  4. Seek some support.  Phone a friend.
  5. Get out into the sun for 15 minutes.  This is an awesome way to stimulate your body’s production of seratonin.
  6. If you are going to indulge always include some protein with your treat.  The protein will help to offset the rapid rise and fall of your blood sugar.

 

Ninety percent of people who create new habits and do these things will see rapid changes in how there body is feeling.  Cravings will go away.  A meal will satisfy your body’s need for energy and you will feel satisfied.  Your energy level will go through the roof.  For the few however, these steps might only start moving you in the right direction.  Some will requires specific nutritional supplements to assist in getting you over the hump and others may be dealing with greater levels of imbalance in their metabolic systems.  So what is the answer… reach for the support that you need. Support and assistance is available.  It is the Key to Your Success!
