You can&#8217;t detox sugar. It simply means that you are going to stop eating sugar. You are going to kick your sugar habit. Your health will be so much better for it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Quit Sugar?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just recently The Mail on Sunday included a 31 page handbook written by Australian Journalist, Sarah Wilson, former editor of Cosmopolitan magazine and the author of the bestselling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0804186014\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0804186014&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=detoxblog0d-20\">I Quit Sugar<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=detoxblog0d-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0804186014\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>.<\/p>\n<p>From her teens she&#8217;d been riding a horrible rollercoaster of sugar highs and lows. She would binge. Then, feeling guilty, she would starve herself the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>She developed mood disorders, sleep problems, and finally adrenal issues and her first autoimmune disease \u2013 Graves, or overactive thyroid. She also had stomach problems linked to poor gut balance caused by the sugar and high carb diet.<\/p>\n<p>She then developed Hashimoto\u2019s, another autoimmune disease. She decided she had to quit sugar.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sugar is Addictive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5642\" src=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Sugar-addiction-L.jpg\" alt=\"sugar detox diet\" width=\"550\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Sugar-addiction-L.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Sugar-addiction-L-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the booklet she reminds us that sugar may be more addictive than cocaine and could be as harmful as tobacco.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true, researchers have shown that the chemicals in sugar communicate with the same parts of the brain as morphine and heroin.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah explains right at the beginning that when she is talking about sugar she&#8217;s talking about quitting fructose.<\/p>\n<p>She says that it&#8217;s fructose that is the enemy and not sugar per se.<\/p>\n<p>I disagree. Sugar is the enemy for many reasons but many health experts are now saying that fructose is even worse. They are both the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Robert Lustig, author of Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar, and numerous scientific articles, explains that instead of helping to sate us, some scientists believe that fructose fools our brains into thinking we are not full, so we overeat.<\/p>\n<p>Excess fructose cannot be converted into energy by our cells like glucose (from sugar) can. It is turned into liver fat instead. When your liver is full of fat it cannot function efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>That starts a cascade of insulin resistance (insulin promotes sugar uptake from blood) which leads to chronic metabolic disease, including diabetes and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>But, excess glucose that is not converted into energy is turned into fat too and stored in fat cells all over the body.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough Nikki Oakley, whose story of sugar addiction recently appeared in The Daily Mail, said that her weight did not balloon in spite of eating equivalent of 50 teaspoons a day. But, she admits that she did lose weight when she quit sugar.<\/p>\n<p>She ate chocolate cookies (biscuits) for breakfast, ate puddings instead of an evening meal and raided the candy (sweet) cupboard during years of overindulgence to satisfy her cravings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Leptin &amp; Sugar Cravings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The reason we suffer from such strong sugar cravings is due to a hormone called leptin, which regulates your craving for sweet foods.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, when sugar is metabolized and stored as fat, it releases excessive amounts of leptin into your blood. Too much leptin, and you become resistant to it. Once that happens, your body has difficulty communicating to your brain that you aren\u2019t hungry.<\/p>\n<p>People with leptin disorders eat uncontrollably.<\/p>\n<p>Kicking the sugar habit has transformed Nikki&#8217;s life. But it wasn&#8217;t easy.<\/p>\n<p>Her addiction was so severe that when she quit sugar she would often burst into tears, was short-tempered, listless, depressed and suffered severe headaches.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don&#8217;t go cold turkey<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sarah&#8217;s advice when you detox sugar is not to go cold turkey but to start with easy swaps. You cut back on refined carbohydrates such as pastries, white pasta, white bread and white flour products as well because these type of foods release sugars into the blood stream fast.<\/p>\n<p>After the first two weeks she says to cut out fruit entirely too for the 8 week program. Sarah says that from her research she has learnt that we are designed to metabolise a small amount of sugar a day &#8211; about 5 &#8211; 9 teaspoons which she says is the equivalent of 2 pieces of fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I don&#8217;t know where she got that fact from but 2 pieces of fruit does not seem a lot to me. I&#8217;ve asked around and no one knows of any scientific research that states how much sugar we are designed to metabolize.<\/p>\n<p>A lot depends on your particular metabolic type, your nutrient status and probably your genes. Fructose in fruit behaves a lot differently than high fructose corn syrup.<\/p>\n<p>When you eat fruit you are also eating fiber and vitamins and minerals. Fruit will not spike your blood sugar the same way as table sugar or high fructose corn syrup.<\/p>\n<p>What we do know for a fact is that the small fruits that paleolithic man ate bore almost no resemblance to today\u2019s fruit. Modern fruit is bred to be huge and much sweeter. Some say 30 times sweeter. That must make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>She explains how replacing sugar with healthy fat and protein is the trick to making the sugar detox work. They fill you up and stop cravings.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy fats include butter, ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil and cold pressed olive oil for cooking although olive oil should not be heated to high temperatures. Some say it should not be heated at all as the essential fatty acids can be damaged making them unhealthy.<\/p>\n<p>She uses olive oil, walnut oil and macadamia oil for pouring over salads and vegetables. I like pumpkin seed oil.<\/p>\n<p>For protein she suggests eggs, cheese, nuts and coconuts. Yogurt is good too and you can include free range meat, poultry, and fish.<\/p>\n<p>You have to get away from the idea of cereal for breakfast and she gives her recipe for Green Eggs with Ham: (my additions in brackets)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Eggs with Ham<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4 eggs (organic are best)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5644\" src=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Green-Eggs-Ham.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar detox diet \" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Green-Eggs-Ham.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thedetoxspecialist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Green-Eggs-Ham-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><br \/>\nSplash of milk or cream (organic)<br \/>\nKnob of butter (organic)<br \/>\n3 tbsp Kale Pesto (see recipe below)<br \/>\nToast ( wholemeal)<br \/>\nCherry tomatoes, halved<br \/>\nSlices of grilled ham to serve (organic)<br \/>\nPinch of salt (Celtic or Himalayan)<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lightly mix eggs, salt, milk or cream with fork in a small bowl.<br \/>\nMelt butter in a frying pan over medium heat.<br \/>\nPour in egg mixture.<br \/>\nOnce eggs take a little, gently fold and lift using a flat wooden spatula- don&#8217;t stir<br \/>\nPause and fold again.<br \/>\nAfter a minute add pesto and fold a little more until the whole lot is soft and still a bit runny.<br \/>\nRemove from heat and let sit.
