Many of the chronic health problems today originate from sugar. Learn how to quit sugar addiction with a 21 day sugar cleanse diet to detox and lower your risk of chronic diseases.

Human scientific discovery has led to many great innovations. We have eradicated many disease. Extended lifespans. Found cures or coping methods to help people with difficult diseases.

However, the increase in refined foods has brought human progress to a jolting stop. Refined foods like pastas and other wheat-processed products has led to issues of itself. This is why it is essential to live a low carb lifestyle.

Humans were not build to run on carbohydrates such as glucose or sugar. That’s why many have chosen to break their addiction with a 21 day sugar cleanse diet.

There are 56 different types of sugars that exist in foods. For the purpose of this post sugars will be collectively referred to as such or glucose.

This post will discuss why it is necessary to quit sugar addiction. Just as important, it is crucial to detox to get your body back to the way it should be.

What is the big deal about sugar? For starters sugar has never been seen as a health food. That is no surprise. It is responsible for the rise in diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Why though?

Statistics show that the average person consumes over three times the recommended amount of sugar. At 22 teaspoons per day, that is a lot.

Sugar hides in most everything so it is very hard to avoid. This is why so much is consumed per day. Many people are just not aware of how much sugar actually gets put into their food and drinks.

The second issue is that sugar is addicting, but a 21 day sugar cleanse diet can break the addiction. Consuming sugar gives the mind a “buzz” which is, to a lesser degree, similar to one produced from consuming cocaine.

Which is worse? You may immediately answer cocaine. That is true, but sugar is actually eight times more addictive than cocaine. Food for thought.

How to Start a 21 Day Sugar Cleanse Diet

So how does one start a 21 day sugar cleanse diet to quit sugar addiction for good? To answer this we must know what to avoid.

The number one culprit is refined white sugar. This sugar is commonly used for sweetening coffee or adding some fluff and sweetness to baked goods.

Refined sugar is also found in countless food and beverage items on the shelves at your local store as a flavor enhancer. From ketchup, to salad dressing, to soda, to oddly enough beef jerky… all contain white sugar.

The obvious plan of action is to cut soda, cookies, and other unnecessary items from your diet for a minimum of 21 days. Check. But what else?

It is absolutely necessary to read food labels on everything. I know it seems odd to check your crackers for sugar, but oftentimes sugar finds itself on the top of the ingredient list.

This link provides insight to all of the sugars you need to look out for when reading labels. An easy recommendation is to look for any words that end in “ose”. This is the scientific tell tale of any sugar relatives.

Other plans of actions include buying unsweetened products. By doing this you remove the excess processed sugar that is inserted into the sweetened products.

You are also going to want to reduce your intake slowly. Sugar is addictive. Cutting all sugar at once will leave you feeling like a rehabilitation patient.

If you add three sugars to your daily coffee, reduce your sugar load by one packet each week. This will prevent the withdrawal feelings you may get. Do this with any other products that you add sugar too.

Eat a Low Carb Diet

Push for a low carb diet. There are plenty of delicious recipe ideas that will make moving to a low sugar diet relatively easy.

On short, a low carb diet entails a high fat and moderate protein consumption with little to no sugar. These types of foods will also leaving you full longer curbing hunger.

Glucose causes rapid spikes in blood sugar levels and leaves you hungry shortly later. A sugar cleanse diet consisting of low carb foods will get rid of this constant hunger.

Other alternatives should not be “fake” sugars. These include artificial sugars found in “sugar-free” candies and “diet” sodas.

Claimed to be better, these artificial, but still technically sugar, are actually worse for you than the real sugar. The best sugar alternatives are naturally derived stevia extracts and erythritol.

The move to quit sugar addiction is a difficult task for many. As with any “drug” going cold turkey is not necessary the best option.

Slowly cut back the normal amounts of sugars that you intake. Any reduction will bring your closer to reducing the risk of chronic disease.

Besides fixing your eating habits, be sure to read the food labels before buying them. Many items shocked me as containing quite a bit of sugar.

Stay away from the obvious high sugar items. And always check the nutrition label for grams of sugar per serving. Detoxing may be tough, but once you succeed your health will improve dramatically.

For more great tips, take a look at Dr. Hyman’s list of ways to detox from sugar.
