THE 10-DAY SUGAR DETOX DIET (TO RESET YOUR BODY AND BRAIN)
Knowing that consuming too much sugar can lead to cancer, diabetes, acne, infertility, depression, dementia and heart disease does not make it sound so sweet.
The average man in the US consumes near 152 pounds of sugar per year. The average man in the US weighs 195.5 pounds, the average woman – 167 lbs. compared to the results from 1960s, it has increased significantly, since then the results were the following: 167 lbs for the average US man and 141 lbs for the average US woman.
That is astounding.
If you divide the 152 pounds per year, it comes out that the average man consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar every day. When it comes to children, they consume around 34 teaspoons of sugar every day, which makes one of four kids pre-diabetic. Inflammations are also very often results of consuming too much sugar and flour, as well as increased blood sugar. These products do not have a particular nutritional value that cannot be gotten elsewhere.
In a Harvard study the experts have found that a high-sugar milkshake spiked blood sugar levels, insulin creation, and the sugar craving centers in the brain. In an examination of the brain that involves scanning, the sugar lit up the craving center like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
The Big 10
About 600 people undertook the Mark Hyman’s, (M.D.) diet and have reported that they have lost 4,000 pounds in 10 days. Do you remember something similar, that you have lost 7 pounds in less than two weeks? If you have, how hard did you work to have those results? This diet guarantees no cravings, no tasteless foods or tedious diets, no deprivation – simply rewire your thinking of food in general.
Dr. Hyman has made this diet rich in sugar addiction-reversing foods that will reorganize your body and brain and let cut sugar from your diet and regain your life back at the normal intake of sugars.
10-Day Detox Diet
These are the greatest 10 ideas for detoxification from sugar and refined carbohydrates that will work for you in 10 days already.
Decide To Detox
In his book, Mark Hyman asks a set of questions to help you find out if you need to detox or not. If you answer yes to at least one of the questions, you will need a sugar detox that will help you feel better and lose weight effortlessly.
Cold Turkey
The best and the only way to stop physiological addictions is if you just stop. You cannot give “just one drink” to an alcoholic – the trick is to go cold turkey. Stop consuming sugar in all forms; eliminate all flour products, and all artificial sweeteners from your diet. These ingredients slow metabolism down, spike cravings, and pile up fat. In ideal conditions, for 10 days you will be away from any foods that come in a package, a can or in a box that are labeled. Instead that, start consuming genuine, whole, fresh foods.
Don’t Drink Your Calories
According to Dr. Hyman, any type of liquid sugar calories is worse than firm food containing sugar or flour. If you do take in liquid sugar, you actually mainline the sugar straight to your liver. Juices, sports drinks, sweetened teas, sodas and sweetened coffees are the chief source of sugar calories in the diets of most of the people.
One can of soda daily raises the chances in children to become obese by 60 percent and in women raises the chances to get type 2 diabetes by 80 percent.
Protein Power
Protein is a source of energy free of carbohydrates. This is what makes it helpful in balancing the blood sugar and insulin levels. Start the day healthy and have breakfast made of whole farm eggs or a protein shake. Using nuts, eggs, fish, chicken, seeds or grass-fed meat for protein at every meal is highly recommendable. Protein make you fuller longer because it breaks down more slowly compared to sugar and is great for delivering the energy we necessitate. The average serving size of the meal rich in proteins should be 4-6 ounces – about the size of your palm.
Unlimited (Good) Carbs
Many vegetables are also made of carbs. This means that you can eat a lot of them, as much as you want and whichever you want, not just the starchy ones such as beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes or winter squash. It is recommendable to consume more greens, including cauliflower, kale, broccoli, peppers, asparagus, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, green beans, artichokes, the whole 10 days.
Fight Sugar With Fat
Fat is very useful because it makes you feel full, it doesn’t make you fat. It is also good for balancing the sugar levels in the blood and a necessary constituent of your cells. You can keep your mind off sugar and avoid it with the help of good fat, which you can find in extra virgin olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut butter, fish etc.
Prepare For Emergencies
Many vending machines and fast food joints will make you think of sugar, especially if your blood levels of it are decreased. Dr. Hyman advices:
You should always have an emergency life pack with yourself. It should consist of protein, good fats, good snacks, like for example: coconut butter and packet of Artisana nut butters, walnuts, almonds, turkey or salmon jerky, pumpkin seeds, wild salmon or sardines and wild blueberries, without sugar of course.
Distress or De-Stress?
The hormone of stress, cortisol often times causes hunger, belly fat storage, and can also cause type 2 diabetes. According to some studies, taking deep breaths triggers the vagus nerve which shifts metabolism from fat storage to fat burning. This also takes you out from your stress state. Dr. Hyman also has a solution to this, the Five deep breaths exercise:
Take five deep breaths, slowly. Inhale to the count of five and exhale to the count of five, and repeat this five times. It is all that you should do, before every meal. Notice the differences.
Douse Inflammation
Inflammation can cause imbalances of the blood sugar levels, of the insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Most people are most frequently sensitive to gluten and dairy products. Still, most of them crave these allergens. It is always hard to quit on something, even if it is for ten days, but one should always try and restore their energy, as well as try to get rid of the cravings.
Sound Sleep
In researches, students were deprived 2 hours only of the recommended 8 hours of night sleep. This has led to increase in the hormones of hunger and decrease of the hormones that prevent appetite and enormous cravings for carbs and sugar. It is natural for the body to seek for energy compensation, because the sleep deprivation requires more energy, so the students reached for products high in sugar that at first, gave them a boost, and then, a crash. That is why you need to take enough sleep so that you can prevent the sugar cravings.
