sugar addiction

[Guest guest]

I am starting a living foods, (raw) eating plan in the week ahead to overcome a

life long sugar addiction. I would welcome the opportunity for some mutual

support if there is anyone else in this group on this same path right now. I

would also welcome suggestions and accounts of others who have walked this path

before me. I am in the seattle area until may or so when I will return to orcas

island, if that makes a difference. -stephen guy

I hope you have yourself (maybe you already have) checked out by a

naturopath who can determine if there is a yeast problem or some other

imbalance that contributes to the craving. I have found that when my

craving comes back I have to stick to greens and veggies, up my protein and

minimize the whole fruit. Later I can have a goodie without it bouncing me

into a cycle of craving.

You could also have hypoglycemia caused by the overproduction of

insulin by the pancreas. I've read that blueberries are the safest fruit to

eat when you have blood sugar problems. I'd get a professional opinion

from a herbalist or naturopath if the craving is severe. It needs to be

addressed at the physical level as well as the emotional level.

Stephen,

You might want to look into, " Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine " by

Gabriel Cousens, MD. www.treeoflife.nu " a relatively low-sugar and low

mycotoxic approach that reverses chronic degenerative disease " . I just

ordered a copy from Amazon. Yes, it's a raw food book.

today is d-day done with sugar day! thanks for all the great support

and suggestions. I am starting with the book the hidden addicton and

how to get free by janice keller phelps as a guide and the cook book

back to the house of health shelley redford young. soon to be ordered

books will be the no grain diet and Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine as

suggested. thanks again. what a great group.

Good luck on your new diet. I might add that you might check at your

library for the Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine, as I hear phase 1 is

pretty restrictive, but does contain tons of phase 2 recipes that are

rich and decadent.
