Read some more about blood sugar and insulin response to foods. Once you know more you can understand your cravings and see changes as your body is not pumping out insulin constantly during the day. Especially bad is when people 'nurse' a soda (or sweet tea) all day long. "But I don't eat anything, I just sip throughout the day'. Bad news - that keeps your insulin response going constantly. Fill your day with other pursuits to distract your cravings. After 3 - 5 days of no sugar, your body stops 'expecting' it/carbs/sugar and looks for other sources of energy (liver moves to your fat stores to get the energy for bodily functions). You will also see a big flush of retained water out of your body that your heart was having to deal with. Please give this a chance. Saying "I can't" do this (avoid cravings, miss a meal, eschew carbs) sets you up for failure. In anything.
Awesome info. Thanks fren!! I really only eat a lot of sugar when i have the munchies but i know i get a ton from all the carbs i need to sustain me lol. Obviously, thats bc of a lack of trying to change that but still. :) and when im trying to cut back on nicotine....i will sugar out. I can never say i eat anything bc while in the smallest person i know, i have to eat more than anyone i know to not feel weird. But thank you so much fren!
