Your weight loss plan depends on a regimen of calories “in” versus calories “out”. Often this can mean that you feel restricted to eating the same, predictable foods over and over, or avoiding any deviations from your routine.
But life happens, and sometimes you need (or want) to eat a meal out. The good news is that a restaurant meal doesn’t have to wreck your diet! Follow these tips to keep your caloric intake in the acceptable range. Read more
You know sugar is one of the worst things you can eat, and that you should avoid it if you want to lose weight. But surely just one more bite can’t hurt… Can it?
Technically, a small amount of sugar here and there is acceptable, and certainly not the end of the world. But the problem with the “just one more bite” mindset is that it can be eerily similar to having “just one more drink” or “rolling the dice just one more time”. Like drinking alcohol, gambling, and many other activities, eating sugar can actually be addictive.
Some people eat a little bit of sugar here and there, and they’re completely healthy. Others can’t seem to shake their sugar addiction. Even worse, like many other types of addicts, those who can’t say no to sugar might actually be in denial about how much they’re really eating. If any of these eight signs point to you – especially if several of them do – you might have developed a physical or emotional dependence on sugar.
Does any of this sound familiar? That’s because sugar acts very similar to a drug. You crave it, you consume it, and then not long afterward your mood and energy crashes. You crave more of it, just to feel “normal” again, and then the cycle starts over. Some people even crave increasing amounts of sugar, to the point that all other foods taste bitter or bland.
If you have a sugar addiction, one of the best things you can do for yourself is either cut back gradually or go cold turkey on the stuff. Give yourself a few weeks on a healthy, balanced, and sugar-free diet, and you will start to feel like yourself again. You’ll even notice that healthy foods begin to taste better over time.
