Simple Ways To Do Sugar Detox

There are shorter sugar detoxes available. A three-day sugar detox plan from damyhealth.com will give a quicker boost to your system. In this plan, you can eat:

* Lean proteins (chicken, salmon, eggs)
* Oatmeal and sweet potato
* Vegetables
* Modest amount of blueberries, apples and lemons
* Peanut butter and almonds
* Balsamic vinegar and healthy oils (such as olive oil)

You can also use Stevia as a sweetener if you wish. The key in this detox is to eat every 2 to 3 hours so that you won’t feel hungry and develop cravings. As with most detox plans, it is important that you consume a lot of water during the day to keep removing the toxins.

Doctor Johnson advises that people don’t consume more than 35 grams of fructose (sugar) a day. The best way is to start removing sugar products from your diet slowly. If you are up to it, you can also always go ‘cold turkey’ and remove all fructose from your diet. Doctor Johnson and others advise this total removal of fructose to only be for two weeks before adding some better fructose in the form of fruits to your diet. By doing this, the experts believe you are more likely to remove the addiction craving associated with sugar.

Be prepared that a sugar detox program often comes with some unwanted side affects. According to nutrition consultant Brittany Watkins, this is much to do with sugar behaving like a drug in our body. As already mentioned, sugar causes us to crave for it even when we are full, and when we remove it from our diet, our brains aren’t too happy. This might cause headaches and mood swings. As Watkins says, these are typical withdrawal symptoms.

Once you finish the sugar detox protocol, however, the results will be worth it. You will have more energy, you would have lost weight, and there will be a noticeable change in your mood – no more mood swings and sluggish afternoons!
