I'm addicted to sugar, how do I stop it?

Question

I know for sure i'm addicted to sugar. Psycologically, and physically. its like morphine. food sans sugar doesn't give me that an effect.
So, it's pretty serious and I know I need to stop my addicition. I lose all my energy when I just eat normal food. In fact, I'd rather not eat than have to eat non-sugared food. How long does it take to end a sugar addiction? What are the symptoms of sugar addiction detox? Should I totally go off of sugar, do it slowly?
How do I go about this?
Thanks.
By the way, I might not be ready to let go if it's that serious but I suppose that self-discipline will come with work if I really want it.
And I think I might really want it.

Answer 1

Sugar addiction - all it takes is 3 days to get rid of it - all you do is go cold turkey with no sugar and those 3 days will seem like months but you will see that on day 4 you wont even want anything sweet.

Answer 2

I've went off sugar before. When you first quit eating sugar you will have some withdrawl, I recommend doing it slowly. Eating a bite size candy bar or hard candy helps. In a couple weeks you will start feeling much better and won't crave it like you do now. I admit I eat sugar now, but much smaller amounts. You can still eat fruits and other foods with 'natural' sugar. Go for it and see how you feel-good luck!

Answer 3

Its not easy to do when you are addicted but you need to do it because if you keep eating nothing but sugar you WILL end up with diabetes.

To begin with you will need to subsitute fresh fruits for all those sugary foods and drinks. You will have cravings but you need to make your mind up your health is worth it. Once you stop consuming sugar you wont be craving foods as much anymore.

Its a hard thing to deal with, but you can do it.

Answer 4
