Everyone knows that over-consuming cakes, pastries and sweets is extremely harmful: it damages your teeth and excess weight appears. However, very, very many people are familiar with the problem firsthand sweet tooth. They cannot live a day without a cake, or even two, they cannot deny themselves the pleasure of eating a piece of cake, and preferably more, and at the sight of sweets they simply forget about everything in the world. Is this eating behavior really as harmful as doctors say? And if so, what are the reasons for this phenomenon, and how can you get rid of it? Let's try to figure it out.

Let's talk about the reasons first
The first thing that comes to mind when you see a sweet tooth is that excessive consumption of sweets is simply a bad habit. In fact, this is completely wrong, and it’s not a matter of habits. The reasons for the irrepressible craving for sweets lie in something completely different, and are also divided into biochemical and psychological.
Not long ago, Canadian scientists from the University of Toronto found that sweet tooth may also be due to a person’s genetic characteristics. According to researchers, carriers of a certain gene consume more sugar and sweeteners.

Do you want a sweet life?
But psychologists say that with sweets people compensate for the lack of happiness, positivity and positive emotions In my life. The fact is that during the absorption of food in general, and when consuming large amounts of glucose, that is, sugar, especially in the brain in large quantities hormone-like substances are released - endorphins, in particular serotonin, which are called “pleasure hormones”. It is thanks to these chemical substances that our mood improves. And that is why many people especially want something sweet during stressful periods of life, during times of stress and overload. British doctors involved in the treatment of diet-related diseases, for example, found that 52% of people over the age of 24 eat chocolate.
Therefore, the first thing you need to do if you feel a pathological craving for sweets is to try to track under what life circumstances you want sweets especially strongly.

Sugar addiction

Scientists at Princeton University conducted a series of interesting experiments, as a result of which they came to the conclusion that ordinary sugar can be regarded as a narcotic substance. During the study, it was found that sugar can cause addiction similar to alcohol, drugs and tobacco. Scientists have been studying the effects of sugar on laboratory rats for several years. In previous studies, the researchers found that rats fed sweets tended to increase their sugar intake over time and experienced discomfort if sugar was suddenly removed from their diet. As it turned out, rodents with a sweet tooth are capable of experiencing a passionate desire for sugar and are able to experience periods of remission. All these phenomena are signs of acquired addiction. Sugar is capable of providing long-term effect on the brain, increasing the release of the pleasure hormone, that is, actually acting like a mild drug. It is logical to assume that some people are capable of developing a similar sugar addiction.

So, if you suspect that you are suffering from a sugar addiction, get rid of it as soon as possible before you are classified as a drug addict.

What's bad about it?
Sugar in pure form- in the form of refined sugar - our body does not need it at all. It does not contain anything useful - it is just carbohydrates, and easily digestible ones (fast, as they are also called). There is practically no benefit from them, because just as quickly as they are absorbed, they turn into excess fat. Excess fat tissue accumulated in the body has its own hormone-like activity that resists the action of insulin. Decreased insulin sensitivity is a precursor diabetes mellitus and a whole bunch of diseases that tend to develop against its background. In addition, intestinal function is disrupted, since pathogenic microorganisms also “love” sweets. Due to a violation of the acid-base balance of the mucous membranes, fungal diseases of the oral cavity, genitals, and intestines occur. Hormonal metabolism and metabolism are disrupted: the body gets used to easily accessible sources of energy, and then it can be very difficult to “retrain” it. And healthy person With a normal metabolism, the body does not feel any need to make its work easier and is completely satisfied with the carbohydrates contained in food.

How to get rid of your sweet tooth
Because, as stated above, sweet tooth associated with the need to increase serotonin levels, it is wise to supplement your diet with foods that contain it.
We produce serotonin from its precursors, in particular from tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids supplied with food. A person needs at least 1 gram (1000 mg) of tryptophan per day, and naturally more during stress. French nutritionists consider 1-2 grams of tryptophan per day to be the norm.
Here is how much tryptophan in milligrams is contained in 100 g of various foods:

legumes: peas, beans - 260 mg, soybeans - 714 mg, lentils - 284 mg
cereals, potatoes: buckwheat - 180 mg, pasta - 130 mg, wheat flour (grade I) - 120 mg, oatmeal - 160 mg, millet - 180 mg, rice - 80 mg, rye bread - 70 mg, wheat bread - 100 mg, potatoes - 30 mg
dairy: milk, kefir - 40-50 mg, Dutch cheese - 790 mg, processed cheese - 500 mg, low-fat cottage cheese - 180 mg, full-fat cottage cheese - 210 mg
meat: beef, turkey - 200 mg and even higher
vegetables, mushrooms, fruits: white cabbage - 10 mg, carrots - 10 mg, beets - 10 mg, champignons, oyster mushrooms - 210-230 mg, apples - 3 mg
eggs: 200 mg per 100 g (one and a half to two eggs).

Having analyzed these data, it is easy to notice that the record holder for tryptophan content is cheese. Agree that this is a worthy substitute for cakes and pastries, especially since the huge variety of cheese varieties allows you to satisfy almost any taste.
Another champion among serotonin-containing foods is bananas.
You can also make it easier to fight sugar addiction and improve your metabolism with the help of dietary supplements. For example, the well-known Robert Atkins used glutamine to relieve patients of cravings for sweets. When a craving for sweets appears, take 1-2 grams of the amino acid, preferably with heavy cream, and the unbearable desire will pass. American National Institute mental health recognizes the importance of glutamine in the treatment of sugar addiction.
Another possible assistant in the fight against sweet tooth- biologically active additive Chromium picolinate. It has a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism in the body, reduces cravings for sweets, reduces appetite and promotes weight loss.
But don’t forget that you need to start the fight against sugar addiction by improving your diet and diet in general. It is important not to wait until you are overwhelmed by an uncontrollable feeling of hunger, but to eat in small portions, but more often. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of carbohydrates, which keep you full. Try to replace candy or cake with them (but not grapes!).
And finally, if nothing helps at all, and life without candy is not pleasant for you, give preference to confectionery products for diabetics. They do not contain glucose, but have a fairly sweet taste. They are inexpensive, and you can now buy them in almost any store.

If you carefully read the labels in stores, it becomes clear that sugar is now everywhere. Moreover, in large quantities. It is added to almost all ready-made drinks, to all types of industrially baked bread, to all sauces, and semi-finished products. Sugar, by the way, is added to many dishes and in restaurants, as it improves the taste of the dish, making it brighter, more memorable, and richer. We look forward to repeating this taste again and again. And we ourselves don’t notice how sugar and sweets begin to form a noticeable part of our daily diet.

An analysis by World Health Organization experts showed that the share of sugar in the average diet of a person from a developed country is about 15%. But it is necessary that sugar does not exceed 5% of the total diet.

American doctor Jacob Teitelbaum in his book “No Sugar” says that the average annual sugar consumption in the United States is 63.5-68 kilograms per year. And this is for one person. Imagine a 50-kilogram bag and about a third of it - that's how much sugar enters the body. In Russia, this figure is lower - about 39 kg per year per person. Now let's go back in time. In Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, sugar consumption was only 2 kilograms per person per year! At the beginning of the 20th century, the figure had already increased noticeably - 17 kg, and at the beginning of the 21st century - 37 kilograms. So gradually sugar from a treat became a very big problem.

Dr. Teitelbaum believes that such excessive sugar consumption causes great amount health problems. It may be the cause or one of the causes of such phenomena as:

Chronic fatigue syndrome
Deterioration of immunity
Chronic sinusitis
Metabolic syndrome with high cholesterol and hypertension
Heart diseases
Hormonal disorders
Infection with Candida and other yeasts

After all, the huge amount of sugar and white flour in our diet leads to obesity and related health problems. When you consume sugar, your blood glucose level rises, insulin soars, and fat reserves are deposited throughout your body.

But limiting sugar in your diet is not so easy. Especially when the entire food industry uses it so intensively. To get off the sugary diet and normalize the consumption of sweets, Dr. Teitelbaum recommends next steps and various techniques that will help you part with the “white killer” without any problems.

Read labels. Avoid products that list sugar in any form (sugar, sucrose, glucose, fructose, corn syrup) among the first three ingredients on the label. You should also avoid white flour, which is found in many types of bread and pasta, because the body will quickly turn it into sugar and give you a sugar high, followed by withdrawal symptoms.

Gradual withdrawal of products containing sugar. Start by eliminating high-sugar foods from your diet, including fast food, processed foods, soda and fruit drinks.

Withstand 7-10 days without sugar. This is enough to overcome addiction. If you feel unwell during the withdrawal process, you can support yourself with fruit and 1-2 squares of dark chocolate.

If you really want something sweet, you need to eat it. But not all the cake, but just a little bit. Very slowly and savoring it.

After the persistent need for sweets leaves you, you can introduce a little dark chocolate and fruit into your diet.

Remove excess caffeine. Excess caffeine aggravates the symptoms of sugar addiction, so start limiting yourself to 1 cup of coffee per day, or better yet, switch to tea.

Take vitamins. Nutrient-poor foods lead to food cravings in general and sugar cravings in particular. Therefore, you should not neglect multivitamin complexes. When treating sugar addiction, the following are especially important: magnesium, iodine, chromium, vitamin C, B6, D. It is useful to supplement vitamin complex taking fish oil.

Choose whole foods . These are unprocessed fruits, vegetables, grains and meats. Most of them have a low glycemic index and do not feed the desire to eat sweets.

Follow glycemic index products. A product with a glycemic index above 85 raises blood sugar very quickly, and if the glycemic index is below 30, sugar levels practically do not rise.

Drink water. Water helps the body remove toxins. How much water should you drink per day? Check your mouth and lips from time to time. If they are dry, it means there is not enough moisture and you need to drink more.

Sleep. Adequate sleep optimizes the body's energy levels, reduces appetite and combats sugar cravings.

How to replace sugar

Ann Ritchie offers just four steps to free your diet from sugar. Follow in order (only the fourth tip can be used at any time).

1. Make a plan for a month (or more)

There is growing evidence that sugar is addictive. But even if you cannot live without sweets and are accustomed to sugar, then do not despair.

Many will try to convince you that it is very difficult to get rid of addiction due to the influence of hormones and neurotransmitters on the brain. But such a position does not give confidence. In fact, when the right approach You can get rid of your sugar addiction. I have helped many women this way with great success.

The best plan is to try to transition to a new diet gradually, step by step, giving your body and taste time to adapt.

When people decide to give up sugar, they make the mistake of wanting to be perfect right away, so they completely cut sugar off the menu from day one. This method may be suitable for people with very strong addictions, but experience with moderate addictions has shown that a humane, gentle approach works much better.

Believe that you can do it and promise yourself to give it your all in a time period that you think is realistic.

2. Find the number one source of sugar in your diet.

Think about what you eat and drink and find the main source of sugar. Prime suspects: soda and drinks you add sugar to, baked goods.

Perhaps you drink a lot of ready-made fruit juices, buy liters of lemonade, maybe put four spoons of sugar in every cup of tea, or constantly snack on sweet yoghurts and desserts. Or maybe you snack on cookies or muffins all day.

Once you're clear on what you need to cross off the menu, make a plan. If you drink tea with three spoons of sugar, reduce the amount gradually so that after a week you drink with two. In another week - with one.

If you drink 4 liters of soda a week, give up two glasses in the first seven days, then another and another. Gradual weaning will not cause you any discomfort.

To succeed, you need to maintain your enthusiasm for forgetting about sugar, not constantly thinking about your deprivations or obsessing over your own imperfections.

3. Choose natural products

Of course, the choice of semi-finished and ready-made food is huge. And sugar is hidden in cakes, cookies, ice cream, popcorn, cereals, granola bars, seasonings, sauces and spices.

Replace gradually ready-made food and semi-finished products for natural products. Cooking your own meals will significantly reduce your sugar intake in the long run. Progress in this direction for 30 days, using the same gradual transition as before.

4. Fight addiction with sleep

Every time sugar addicts say they need to eat six times a day, I ask them how many hours of sleep they get. And it often turns out that no more than six.

Cleansing the body of sugar is The best way get rid of addiction to sweets, which is 8 times stronger than cocaine. WHO recommends eating no more than 6 teaspoons of sugar per day, but most adults eat more than 22 spoons per day, and children eat even more - about 34.

Sounds good, right? Until you have confidence and motivation, it will be difficult to get rid of addiction. Let's learn about the dangers of sugar so that we can give it up once and for all.

How does excess sugar affect the body?

Immediately after eating something sweet (ice cream, chocolate, cupcake or waffles), your soul feels good. However, the effect of sugar on the body is not so harmless. Scientists have discovered that sugar affects the same nerve endings as psychotropic or addictive drugs.

Dr. James DiNicolantonio told The Guardian that "sugar is the most commonly consumed drug in the world and causes irreparable harm to the human body."

Why is sugar so harmful? What does it do or what does its excess amount lead to? Here are the main risk factors for sweet lovers:

Obesity is the first thing that all lovers of sweets will have to face. When a lot of sugar enters the body, and the lifestyle remains inactive or completely sedentary, then sugar begins to accumulate in the body in the form of fat. First in the form of subcutaneous, and then visceral, that is, around internal organs. This moment is considered the beginning of the end of health and wellness.
Prediabetes/Diabetes – high level sugar leads to insulin resistance. Which in turn prevents body cells from using available glucose. A person craves more sweets, and the blood sugar level rises greatly. As a result, a person faces prediabetes and diabetes.
Increased LDL cholesterol - Excessive sugar consumption leads to obesity, in which the level of bad cholesterol constantly increases. LDL cholesterol is deposited on the walls of blood vessels in the form of plaques, which increases the risk of heart attacks significantly.
Polycystic ovary syndrome and infertility – Polycystic ovary syndrome has already become the norm for women of reproductive age. The main causes of this disease are poor lifestyle choices, including excessive consumption of sugars. This leads to obesity and insulin resistance, which in turn leads to hormonal imbalance in the body and the formation of cysts in the ovaries. Irregular periods, facial hair, and male-pattern accumulation of fat in the abdominal area are symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. If treatment is not started on time, then it will lead to infertility.
Depression – Do you think sugar makes life sweeter?! It turns out that this is not the case. Scientists have proven that excessive consumption of sweets leads to depression. The feeling of satisfaction does not last long, and the problems, just as they were real, will remain so. In addition, they will be overweight, which is one of the main causes of depression and complexes in most women.

Temporary relief and satisfaction will not solve the problem, but will only add a whole range of physical and mental health problems.

Giving up sweets forever is not so easy. Let's find out why quitting sugar is just as difficult as quitting smoking.

Why is it difficult to give up sugar?

If you have an addiction to sugar, it will be difficult to get rid of it. A person becomes dependent on it emotionally, just like on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, only in our case on a chocolate bar, cupcake, candy or ice cream.

There will be suffering both physically and emotionally, especially at those moments when the body demands another portion of sweets. When attempting to eliminate sugar from your diet, withdrawal symptoms may include: headache, anger, physical pain and mood swings. All this can lead to failure of the intended goal and a return to square one. How to force yourself not to eat sweets and starchy foods?

Why do you want sweets?

Everyone's relationship with sweets is different. Some treat it quite calmly, some don’t like it at all, and some feel completely dependent. There may be several reasons why people want sweets. Before highlighting the main ones, you need to look at the process of human evolution.

Our sense of taste is like no other. Scientific evidence confirms the existence of sugar addiction in perhaps half of people. We are already born with certain habits given to us by nature. The need for sweets is partly hereditary.

From an evolutionary perspective, our survival depends on our ability to obtain energy from our food. One of the main sources of energy is carbohydrates, which include sugars. To maximize energy intake, the need to consume more carbohydrates, including in the form of sweets, increases.

People are not alone in this regard. Many animals whose diet consists of carbohydrates obtained from plant foods show a preference for sweets. The only mammal species that do not respond to sweetness are carnivores, such as cats, which do not depend on plant carbohydrates.

There are many different theories to explain sugar cravings, including:

Food allergies;

Adrenal gland dysfunction;

Hormonal imbalances (especially for women);

Fungal diseases, such as candidiasis;

Bacterial lesions.

Premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy or hormonal imbalance can cause the body to crave certain simple carbohydrates, such as chips or a sweet bun.

Before your period, especially if the woman's diet consisted mainly of foods such as animal protein, cravings for sweets may increase. They allow you to relax and make it easier to go through this period.

Many pathogenic bacteria and fungi feed on sugar. The more sweets you eat, the more favorable the environment you create for their life.

How to get rid of sugar addiction

Many people can be addicted to sweets. But the good news is that it is relatively easy to get rid of. If you're ready to win the battle against sweets, here are some top tips.

Avoid processed (store-bought) foods. Eating such foods creates a vicious cycle. By consuming sweets, we artificially stimulate the production of dopamine, the neurotransmitter of pleasure. When levels of the happiness hormone decrease, we begin to feel the need to replenish our reserves of sweets.

Boost your serotonin levels. Serotonin, also known as the happiness hormone. Its reserves can be replenished not only with sweets. Exercises, healthy sleep, diet contribute to the production of this hormone and, as a result, the craving for sweets decreases.

Satisfy your natural sweet tooth with natural products. Stevia is known to have a sweet taste, but does not raise blood sugar levels. In addition, it is 300 times sweeter than sugar. In baking, sugar can be replaced, for example, with the natural sweetener Lakanto. In addition, according to manufacturers, it has zero calories.

Drink enough water. Our body may actually be asking for just water, but we think we need sugar. Cup lemon water, sweetened with stevia, will quench your thirst and satisfy your need for sweets.

Keep your blood sugar levels stable. Eating small, healthy, organic foods throughout the day can stabilize your blood sugar and reduce cravings for sweets. Fermented foods can help balance blood sugar and wean you off sugar addiction.

Include more greens. Nutrient-rich green drinks can increase energy levels and reduce sugar intake.

Include seafood additives. Compared to sugar, which depletes nutrients, seaweed is rich in vitamins and minerals that the body needs to function properly.

Include fermented foods and drinks in your diet. This point is most important to overcome sugar cravings. And effective. The sour taste of such products eliminates the desire to eat sweets and ready-made store products.

Meditate. Meditation can help you avoid sugar cravings and relieve stress in your body. Stress stimulates the production of cortisol, which increases blood sugar levels. A vicious circle is created that is harmful to health.

Impact on biologically active points. Acupuncture, i.e. influencing active points by pressing will help cope with addiction to sweets. These techniques can be easily mastered in a few minutes.

By following a proper diet, you actually don't even have to crave something sweet all the time. Gradually, you will notice that your taste habits change and you can get a “sweet pleasure” from the sugar found in natural foods. By making small changes in your habits, you can get rid of sugar addiction and overcome cravings for sweets.
