Excessive sugar lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, health problems.

We often equate sugar with “empty calories”; as it turns out, it’s a lot worse than that. Not only does sugar not provide any health benefits, it can actually do significant harm.

We find sugar (often under the guise of high-fructose corn syrup or some other nom de plume) in almost every processed food you can buy. Because of this, there are actually two sugar addictions in America—the addiction an individual can get through consuming too much of it, and the addiction our society has to putting sugar in everything.

Personal sugar addiction has serious negative side effects, and in many ways parallels other drug addictions. Individuals can have insatiable cravings, shakes, and other withdrawal symptoms when separated from consistent sugar intake. Excessive sugar can also lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems.

All of the same negative health effects an individual experiences from sugar addiction are reflected in the nation-wide addiction to sugar. America is a global leader in obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other symptoms of sugar addiction.
The good news is there are options. Here are some tips to overcoming sugar addiction:

• Treat it like an addiction. While you may not be severely addicted to sugar, you can still act like you are. Ask your friends for support. Put reminders where you can see them. Join a support group. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

• Don’t give up. Even if you falter a bit, fall off the wagon, or otherwise break your commitment, there’s no reason you can’t start over again. You’re looking for progress, not necessarily being able to quit cold turkey.

• Don’t make it about weight loss. Your goal is to limit your sugar intake, not to lose weight. You will likely lose weight, and once you tackle the sugar issue you’ll be better able to lose weight. But when combating a sugar addiction, don’t make it about anything else.

• Eat. This isn’t about starving yourself; it’s about getting rid of sugar. And one great way to avoid sugar cravings is to eat good food. Eat high-fiber snacks and healthy treats. Don’t stop eating or stop enjoying life; just cut the bad stuff out of your diet.
