Get rid of your sugar craving !

Many of you have asked me how I managed to get rid of my sugar addiction in just a few days so I decided to make a blog post about it,  that hopefully will be able to help others. 

Already as a child I was addicted to sugar, my mum used to say "having you and sugar together is like having a dynamite".I used to cry and literally get hysterical if I did not get my daily intake of 100g of white chocolate.  I used to eat something with sugar after every meal and to every snack. I ate cookies and ice cream for breakfast. I could never have only one slice of cake and one slice always led to an other. I even dreamed of chocolate and cakes at night ! 

So two weeks ago, I was tired of the situation I found myself in, and decided that it was time that I made a few changes:  

1. I got rid of all sugar containing things inside my kitchen.

2. I stared taking 1 teaspoon of spirulina every day in a glass of water 30 minutes before eating lunch. 

3.  I stopped sweetening my tea with stevia and started drinking only green tea.

4  I also increased my fat and protein intake and lowered my carbohydrate intake. I ate berries and fresh coconut instead of fruit, hid the protein bars inside my brothers room and bought a LOT of quark, eggs,cheese, nuts, nut butters (almond and peanut) and coconut oil  that I filled the kitchen with. I ended all my dinners  with a few slices of mature cheese and a few tbsp coconut oil or almond butter. 

5. I bought a lot of packages of chewing gum.

IT WAS NOT EASY !!!!!
And do not expect the sugar craving to disappear over night! 

The first three days were horrible. I cried and cried and cried for everything. I argued with everyone and  I felt as if everyone was against me. So many times I wanted to run to the supermarket to buy some Ben & Jerry ice cream or just a few chocolate chip cookies.  I was anxious and I even shaked at times because all I could think of was a way of getting to the supermarket alone so that I could buy sugary food and eat it in secret. Thankfully my mum was always with me, guarding me and controlling me. When my sugar craving was worst I chewed gum and headed of the gym. 

After 5 days I became "human" again. My craving for sugar was gone and I started taking protein powder again. Now I eat sweet (no white sugar, only stevia as a sweetener) only once a day because baking is therapy and not because I crave something sweet. I still drink my spirulina drink before lunch and eat high fat and high protein.

 I will now start reintroducing root vegetables, fruits and protein bars. I am truly enjoying benefits (both physical and psychological) that a high fat diet has given me. 
I have never been able to sleep as well as I do now, my anxiety and panic attacks are gone and i feel happy deep inside. Physically my muscles are growing so fast!

I HAVE MADE IT AND SO CAN YOU !
