Great post Dr Scott. I agree with you and Ryan. Reducing the amount of refined sugar in my diet has led to a noticeable improvement in my sugar cravings. Whilst I have not completely eradicated natural sugar from my diet (I still let myself have a small sugary treat every week or two) I never get strong cravings for it.

Ryan, I would agree and say that the healthier we become the more our tastes adjust to what they should be. Try sugar after staying away from it for a while and it tastes so strong (like the difference between drinking beer and vodka).

A really great article, Evita! I am lucky that I don’t suffer from this addiction, but I know many people who do and they are so frustrated! I will definitely link back to this article…

I can 2nd Ryan’s comment!

This sugar addict left the world of highly refined, processed foods and entered the land of raw, living foods four months ago.

I start my day, every day, with a quart of freshly juiced greens — spinach, cuke, apple, ginger today — and consume only fresh fruit until noon.

Goodbye sugar cravings.

And, goodbye sugar buzz! The mental clarity I have today is astounding to me.

Sugar cravings used to plague me. I recently switched to local, organic foods (no more processed food!) and magically the cravings went away.

Perhaps all that hidden sugar I had been eating had something to do with it?
