I recently had the revelation that I'm addicted to sugar. I'll go on restricting diets and then fail miserably and binge eat till I'm sick. I sit and eat cookies and chocolate till I'm uncomfortable and sick. A few weeks back, I had a blood test that revealed my resting glucose level to be on the lower end of normal. Is this a product from years of binge eating simple carbs (hyperinsulin production)? Would that prevent me from losing weight if I went on a normal diet? Would sugar addiction explain an absent menstrual cycle?

Eating sugar does not cause diabetes however, you conintual eating of sugar may suggest some other condition or your body is lacking something and thus trying to make up for it through eating sugar. If you had diebetes and consumed the amounts of sugar you claim you would be in a diabetic coma. However if your blood sugar was under 65 then you would need to worry if the doctor did not seem alarmed then I would suggest your okay. Also, you may have a very active metabolism!

REALLY--WATCH THE SHORT VIDEO LINK!

Blood sugar imbalances are often prompted by chronic mineral deficiencies. The vast majority of people living in industrialized nations suffer from deficiencies in major minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, and in other nutrients. The brain, sensing these deficiencies, sends the signal to keep eating until the needed minerals are acquired, but since most modern processed foods are virtually devoid of these minerals, a person will never achieve the necessary mineralization consumption, no matter how much food they eat.

That's one reason why people can eat enormous quantities of processed or manufactured foods and still feel hungry. Their body is not receiving the proper hormonal "full" signals due to the absence of minerals necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and hormone balance.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.
