Sugar addiction exists, the research proves this. And it’s in your best interest to avoid it at all costs if you want to maximize your arm toning. Beating ANY addiction is no walk in the park, but you can do it.
What evidence is there that sugar addiction is real? Well, for one, doctors use sugar as a powerful analgesic (painkiller) when performing routine medical procedures on infants. Also, when given high levels of sugar, rodents show the same types of brain alterations that drug addiction induces. Finally, drugs used to combat drug addictions (i.e., naxolone) can eliminate sugar addictions.
Now you need to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you addicted to sugar and do you need to have it on a regular basis? Do you get in a bad mood if you don’t have it? Most importantly, are you coming up with elaborate reasons as to why you are NOT addicted as you read this? A yes to any of the above questions indicates an addiction.
The main issue with sugar, is that it prevents your body from secreting arm fat burning hormones. And without said hormones, your arms will never get toned. So without further ado, here are 4 things you can start doing today to kick that addiction out the window:
1. Start using sugar substitutes. Although they won’t give you an energy high, sugar substitutes will definitely appease your sweet tooth. And they don’t taste like they used to. Remember that strange aftertaste diet sodas used to have? Stevia, an all natural herbal substitute, is my top choice.
2. Yerba mate loose leaf tea. This is the most powerful all-natural appetite suppressant I have ever found. The key is to make sure you experiment with small doses first and then gradually increase. And be patient because unlike coffee, it takes about an hour to take effect. Yerba mate is a powerful tool for cancelling out your sugar cravings. As an added bonus, it will increase your metabolism which will accelerate arm toning.
3. Working out with weights. Weight lifting is the best way to increase your appetite. And increasing your appetite is a great way to eat healthy. The increase is so large that your palate recalibrates to liking foods that you would otherwise find bland. You will no longer need that hyper-taste that sugar gives foods.
4. Emotional healing. You need to address the emotional side of the addiction if you want long term success. The best method I have found for doing this is cognitive therapy. “Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy” by David Burns M.D. is your best bet for self-administering this powerful method. Mind you, this is the number one recommended book by therapists.
We enter this world with a sweet tooth for sugar. And live in this world with the food industry trying to push sugar onto us from every angle. Thus, our environment is a breeding ground for sugar addictions. And if arm toning is your goal, sugar is enemy number 1.
One more thing: it’s vital that you take action on this information sooner rather than later. After all, rapid action ensures the quickest results.
