The Sugar Addiction Test
Are you addicted to sugar? Are you trying to get rid of flabby arms? If you answered yes to both of these questions, a very tough road lies ahead. You see, an addiction to sugar will keep your body from burning fat.
Perhaps you think you may be addicted, but aren't sure. After all, many people are addicted to many things they aren't even aware of. Thus, a little introspection is required. Think about the following questions to help figure out if you're addicted:
1. Does it seem impossible to stop having sugar? Do you keep on consuming large amounts of sugar despite the best of efforts to stop? If so, you may be addicted. At this stage, it's very common for the brain to have undergone some changes that make rejecting sugar extremely difficult.
2. Do you feel horrible when you don't have sugar? This is called withdrawal! If your head hurts, if you get extremely vivid cravings and if your mood goes up and down in the absence of sugar You are withdrawing
3. Have you developed the ability to generate complex reasons as to why you are NOT addicted? If you consistently come up with detailed arguments in defense of not being addicted, then you may be addicted. This is denial at its max.
4. Have you developed the ability to ignore the risks of sugar despite having a serious health problem? If you have become desensitized or convinced yourself that there is no risk to having sugar, than you may be addicted.
5. Does your sugar intake offset other negative aspects of life? If you find yourself bingeing on sugar to compensate for other negative areas, it's time for an overhaul. Seriously. Life can be painful, and using sugar to appease the pain is dangerous for your health.
And rest assured that sugar addiction is real, very real. Rodents given high intakes of sugar show similar brain alterations as compared to drug use. Also, doctors routinely use sugar as a powerful pain killer when performing surgery on infants.
Now you have to be honest with yourself. Are you addicted to sugar? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you very well may be addicted. Seeking out competent psychological, nutritional and medical help is a good approach for helping you overcome the battle. And remember, there is always hope! - 17268
