Unlike the tooth fairy, sugar addiction is real. And if you want the fastest arm toning possible, you need to overcome it. Now I’ll be honest, overcoming any addiction is not easy, but there is hope.
What evidence is there that sugar addiction is real? Well, for one, doctors use sugar as a powerful analgesic (painkiller) when performing routine medical procedures on infants. Also, when given high levels of sugar, rodents show the same types of brain alterations that drug addiction induces. Finally, drugs used to combat drug addictions (i.e., naxolone) can eliminate sugar addictions.
Now you need to be brutally honest with yourself. Are you addicted to sugar and do you need to have it on a regular basis? Do you get in a bad mood if you don’t have it? Most importantly, are you coming up with elaborate reasons as to why you are NOT addicted as you read this? A yes to any of the above questions indicates an addiction.
The main issue with sugar, is that it prevents your body from secreting arm fat burning hormones. And without said hormones, your arms will never get toned. So without further ado, here are 4 things you can start doing today to kick that addiction out the window:
1. Start using sugar substitutes. Although they won’t give you an energy high, sugar substitutes will definitely appease your sweet tooth. And they don’t taste like they used to. Remember that strange aftertaste diet sodas used to have? Stevia, an all natural herbal substitute, is my top choice.
2. Yerba mate loose leaf tea. This is the most powerful all-natural appetite suppressant I have ever found. The key is to make sure you experiment with small doses first and then gradually increase. And be patient because unlike coffee, it takes about an hour to take effect. Yerba mate is a powerful tool for cancelling out your sugar cravings. As an added bonus, it will increase your metabolism which will accelerate arm toning.
3. Using weights. Weight lifting is the best way to skyrocket your appetite and readjust your palate to liking healthy foods just as much as sugary foods. That salad with grilled chicken breasts and an olive oil vinaigrette will taste better than ever after an intense workout.
4. Emotional healing. You need to address the emotional side of the addiction if you want long term success. The best method I have found for doing this is cognitive therapy. “Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy” by David Burns M.D. is your best bet for self-administering this powerful method. Mind you, this is the number one recommended book by therapists.
Overcoming sugar addiction is no walk in the park. And there are a lot of forces working against you-especially the food industry. But if you want to maximize your arm toning, you have to tackle this monster head on. And remember, there are many tools at your immediate disposal that can help you win the war.
And remember that implementing this information is just as important as being aware of it. After all, without action new information is rendered useless.
