Hi Violet;

 

All of us are born with 'sweet teeth'. It is how we know what is good to eat. Commercialization and the industrialization of sugar has twisted that taste desire into an addiction of a particular chemical -- high fructose corn syrup, which,, these days, has little to do with corn.

 

Tell me your favorite bit of garbage snack and your favorite fruit and I'll happily give you a substitute to try. to rid yourself of your addiction, however, you really need to commit to a month or so long term without the craola. It is at that point that your addiction will begin to abate in favor of good, whole, natural foods which Nature provides.

 

Cheers.

According to Mike the Health Ranger, good chocolate is a superfood. I go to the health food store and buy some Endangered Species Extreme Dark Chocolate and have a couple or three or four squares. It's a healthy indulgence that I will never feel bad about. I don't think you can feel bad and eat chocolate at the same time.

 

So combat the urge with some of the finest chocolate in the world, the darker the better and more satisfying. And chocolate doesn't fit the definition of addiction. You don't require more and more as time goes by, you don't go through physical withdrawal, you just require better quality.

Hi Vanessa,Is your addiction to chocolates or sweets in general? Are those comfort foods just to hard to pass up? If this is the case, I want to share that a few years ago, I had cravings for sweets, carbs, and any junk food that you can imagine. And they were adversely affecting my health. I had several chronic conditions. Upon switching to a mostly raw diet and taking plant derived trace minerals, I found that these cravings ceased, and it really did not take that long. The problem with craving sweets and comfort foods is that we are not nourishing our bodies properly, merely feeding our bodies empty calories. Therefore, there is always that hunger for more. By giving your body the nutrients it truly needs, you will find that this addiction will

disappear.My Best,

In the past I have experimented with a mixture of good quality cocoa

powder, virgin cold-pressed coconut oil and a little stevia extract,

with maybe a drop or two of vanilla extract. Mix to your taste (more

cocoa is more like dark chocolate, less is like milk chocolate), then

refrigerate or freeze so the coconut oil solidifies and you have a

surprisingly good, tasty, sugar-free chocolate substitute.

Hi Kathy,I know what you mean about HFCS. Fortunately we don't use much of it in Australia - yet!! I was however addicted to sugar for years. My health issues really started though when I moved to the US for 5 years and tried out all the yummy sweet dishes there. My adrenals couldn't cope and my alternative doctor eventually told me about HFCS. I don't have a craving for sweet stuff anymore due to my balanced diet and I make sure I read labels if I buy anything that is packaged.Eva. --- On Fri, 2/5/10, Kathy <geekling wrote:Kathy <geekling Yummiesoleander soup Date: Friday, February 5, 2010, 5:00
