My sugar detox is over!
Did you watch the videos over my last four posts?
The withdrawal symptoms of a sugar detox are unpleasant and the cravings intense. Fortunately for me they only lasted three days, however it can take longer. Much tougher than a caffeine detox.
If you know what to expect, it can help guide you through a very demanding and difficult physical and psychological process.
For me, attachment to sugar is a physical dependency. Something I continue to struggle with. For many, however, it can be a much deeper psychological addiction.
I believe counseling should be made available for people who are addicted to sugary products, as we have for drug, alcohol and ni****ne addiction.
Sugar addiction is very real…
PS. I recorded these 4 videos and took this photo 4 years ago for a TED talk that sadly never eventuated.
