Withdrawl From Sugar/carbs?
Question by livitup11: Withdrawl from sugar/carbs?
I just found out that I’m hypoglycemic. Unfortunately, as a side-effect of this, I have been eating a TON of sugars and carbs in order to compensate for my condition. What I really need to do is regulate my blood sugar by eating less sugar and carbs- it would really be best to eliminate them altogether.
How do I do this? Sugar and carbs are like a drug to me- I’m emotionally attached and I feel like crap if I don’t eat any. If I decide to go cold-turkey, how many days would I have to avoid carbs/sugar altogether before I can expect to be rid of my addiction?

going cold turkey usually doesn’t work for most people with addictions. why don’t u gradually cut down, that way ure body will be in less of a shock when u stop all together

It’s not a good idea to quit sugar cold turkey. Sugar effects the brain the same way an opiate does, so you won’t feel very well. Try the Radiant Recovery program.

“You can get addicted to sugar, sweet foods, and white-flour products (which your body responds to as if they were sugars). This addiction is physiological and affects the same biochemical systems in your body that are affected by addictive drugs like morphine and heroin.
You can actually get “high” on sugar. Eating it can make you feel euphoric immediately. If you don’t have your regular sugar “fix,” you can experience withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, headaches, and other flu-like symptoms. Your body can become physiologically dependent upon the effect the sugars have on you.”
