4 Ways To Overcome Sugar Addiction-For Maximum Arm Toning

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Unlike the tooth fairy, sugar addiction is real. Very real. And if you want the fastest arm toning possible, you need to overcome it. Now I'll be honest, overcoming any addiction is not easy, but there is hope.

What data points to the existence of sugar addictions? First, rodents given massive amounts of sugar demonstrate the same brain changes that someone would present when addicted to opiates. Second, naxolone, a drug used to combat overdoses, has the ability to temporarily blunt a sugar addiction. And finally, sugar is routinely used in hospitals as an effective pain killer for infants during surgery and other procedures.

Now you need to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you addicted to sugar? 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

And it's critical that you beat this thing if you want to maximize your arm toning. Why? Because sugar blocks the release of arm fat burning hormones into your body. Sad, but true. So today I am going to discuss 4 tools that can help you overcome sugar addiction:

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. Loose leaf yerba mate taragui. More popular than coffee in south America, yerba mate is the most powerful craving killer I have ever found. Just make sure you keep on eating even though you aren't hungry. This will prevent you from bingeing once the effect wears off. And be patient because it takes about an hour for the tea to take full effect.

3. Using weights. Weight lifting is the best way to skyrocket your appetite and readjust your palate to liking healthy foods just as much as sugary foods. That salad with grilled chicken breasts and an olive oil vinaigrette will taste better than ever after an intense workout.

4. Psychological treatment. This is the most important one of them all because once you reach the addicted level, your emotional state is intimately tied to your sugar intake. The best form of treatment I have found is cognitive therapy. The most economical source of cognitive therapy I have found is a book called Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David Burns M.D. Read this book before making any appointments. Millions of copies have been sold, it's the number one recommended book by therapists and it's brutally effective.

Overcoming sugar addiction is no walk in the park. And there are a lot of forces working against you. Especially, the food industry. But if you want to maximize your arm toning, you have to tackle this monster head on. And remember, there are many tools at your immediate disposal that can help you win the war. The key is to apply this information now and not later. Do not wait, take action! - 17273
