Removing sugar from your diet is not as easy as you think, because sugar is used as an additive for preservation and to make things more palatable. So it is basically found in most commercial foods. Unless you are living a health conscious life-style and picking your food wisely, sugar is in your catsup, morning cereal, spaghetti sauce, soup, salad dressing, peanut butter, pancake syrup, bread, yogurt, you name it and it probably has sugar in it. They even put sugar in your salt. You must learn to read labels very carefully to eliminate sugar from your diet.

Other steps to take to help you kick sugar habit are as follows: -Keep sugar and all sugar products out of house, so you won’t be tempted and give in during times of stress and hunger. -When you go to a social event, take your own food, or eat before going. -Use alternative whole foods snacks such as fruit, dates, whole grain crackers in place of sweets. -Exercising will reduce cravings -Supplementation with l-glutamine can reduce cravings. -Get emotional support. -Keep healthy snacks on hand for when cravings come on. -A chromium supplement may be helpful. -Be patient and forgiving of yourself. It will take time to be successful. More than likely you will fall off wagon repeatedly. Get back on and start again.
