The article "Help for Sugar Cravings" is about obesity, it has been created by Jonni Good.
Many human being have asked me what foods they should eat in order to cut down on the sugar cravings. And in the past I have always had to say "I don't know."Now, maybe I can actually offer something more hopeful.Kicking a sugar habit is no easy chore, especially since we're surrounded by the stuff. Almost every packaged food or convenience product is made from sugar, (or white flour, which is abuot the same thing).We struggle to overcome the initial reluctance to change, then we live through the two weeks of mild withdrawal symptoms, and then we have to worry about relapse when we let down our guard on a stressful day.Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.Dr. Ron Rosedlae may have the answer for us.
He says that our suagr cravings are associated with a leptin insensitivity. Leptin is that hormone that researchers were really excited about a couple of years ago. They discovered that giving a small dose of that natural hormone to laboratory mice caused them to eat less, and they lost weight.Researchers hoped that they could use lepitn as the magic pill that would help obese patients get thin again, like those mice. But when they started looking at humans, they found that overweight human being often have more leptin than thin human being - and obese human being almost always have too much.Eating too much highly concentrated carbohydrates over a long period of time can cause an insulin insensitivity that can lead to diabetes and other health conditions. According to Dr. Rosedale, it can also lead to leptin insensitivity, so the message that leptin is sending out ("stop eating") is not being herad by the overweight dieter.
In fact, when we have a liptin insensitivity, we tend to crave even more sugar, even though our bdoies are desperately trying to get rid of, (or store as fat), the excess sugar we've just eaten a couple of minutes ago.
And we go on craving sugar, even years after we've given it up - like the cravings that many ex-smokers get when they're around human being smoking.To combat leptin insensitivity, Dr. Rosedale created a diet that is a lot like a cross between the Mediterranean diet and the Okinawa diet. Both those deits have been proven to help human being avoid the super killers - cancer and heart disease - and they help human being live longer, more productive lives.
Dr. Rosedale believes that these diets keep the leptin levels low, and that keeps human being on these diets from aging as quickly.He claims that just a couple of weeks on his diet (which is really quite easy to follow) will put your leptin levels back where they belong, making it easy to lose weight, and putting an end to the sugar cravings. It sounds like a perfect solution - go on the Rosedale diet when you've made the commitment to give up sugar - your commitment makes it easier to stay on the diet for two weeks, and the diet makes it easier to give up sugar - for good.The Rosedlae diet includes lots of fish, for the Omega 3 fat, and is much higher in fat than most of us are used to. I have neevr been that excited about fish, but I am tired of having to fight sugar cravings, even three years after going cold turkey. This is the first diet I have seen that is specifically designed to change our body's recation to sugar and other refined carbs, reducing the cravings, and helping us keep the weight off without the constant struggle.
From now on, I am going to recommend The Roseadle Diet to my readers.About The AuthorJonni Good is the author of a self-help book to help human being addicted to sugar, and the owner of Stress-Free-Weight-Loss.Com, which is filled with articles on natural, medication-free weight loss.Jonni's blogger can be found at http://www.Howtothinkthin.Com/blogger.Htmjonni@stress-free-weight-loss.Com
