“I’m addicted to sugar”
These were the words that prompted the start of my Sweet Freedom Journey.
As soon as I accepted that my relationship with sugar was an addiction, it was a huge weight off my mind.
For years I had blamed my inability to follow diets on a lack of willpower and assumed I would never be free of the snacks and treats I relied on when times got tough.
My attitude towards food was that of an addict.
I would bake myself a batch of cookies, expecting them to last a week, but would finish them all in one sitting.
My work desk had a draw of emergency sweets in case I got stressed or, more often, bored.
There were times when I would drive the long way home so that I could stop by my favourite ‘sugar dealer’.
Sugar vs Cocaine
Strict diets and going cold-turkey fail 95% of time.
Sweet Freedom attributes this to the addictive nature of the foods we are eating, especially heavily processed foods like sugar.
Sugar lights up the brain’s dopamine receptors 8x more than cocaine.
Dopamine is the chemical in our brain that motivates us to seek rewards.
In this case, when you see, hear, taste, or even think about sugar, your brain will be triggered to take action in order to obtain that next sweet treat.
But sugar can’t be THAT addictive, right?
Well, ask yourself this…
What If Sugar Was Made Illegal Today?
Imagine if processed sugar was made illegal today AND it was just as expensive as cocaine or heroin.
This would mean that 74% of all products from your local supermarket would be taken off the shelves.
How would you react? Your friends & family? Society?
I’m betting it wouldn’t take long for a riot to break out.
I’m addicted to sugar, but how do I quit eating it?
