I have written articles before on sugar withdrawal and sugar addiction and the negative effects that refined sugar can have on the human body. Beating sugar addiction is just that much easier with the 5-6 meal a day plan. In fact, you will barely even miss it if you are planning your meals correctly.

When it comes to dividing your daily intake up into 6 meal portions, it is perfectly fine to get slow digesting carbohydrates and simple sugars from fruit or all natural organic fruit juice such as cranberry juice. Along with getting protein in each of the 6 meals, making at least 3 of the meals with a good blend of carbohydrates will do the trick. It will give you the proper fuel and nutrition to kickstart your workouts and keep your metabolism at optimal levels while you are at rest. If you are skipping meals and going hungry, such as those period of times in between meals if you only eat 3 meals a day, your blood sugar level drops. At this point, the sugar cravings kick in. This can easily be taken care of with the 6 meal plan. Keeping your blood sugar level afloat will take away cravings to the point that you will not even think twice about eating some ice cream or those peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. It is a definite must not to eat any refined carbohydrates in the form of cheap white bread, pasta, flour tortillas, fried or battered food, you get the picture. Any carbs that you eat should come from things such as whole grain sources, wheat tortillas, natural organic fruit juices, etc. Once again, the 6 meals you would eat aren’t large meals. It will basically be slightly more calories than you would eat at 3 meals all together, but divided into 6 parts that make up 6 small mini-meals throughout the day.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Sugar addiction is pretty much drug addiction. Once you are hooked on it, your body will crave it all day every day. You will find yourself making late night runs to the store to buy junk with sugar so you can get your fix. You will develop mood swings and bad breath. This sounds just like a drug addict doesn’t it? Be very careful with the food that you buy that you are going to include into your mini-meals. For example, I must have looked at 10 nutrition bars one day that all had high fructose corn syrup in them. I couldn’t believe it. You might as well just go eat a candy bar if you were to eat one of those things. Because what is even worse than the bleached white refined sugar is the corn syrup. That stuff is cheap and it is nasty. Keep it out of your body. It affects each person differently. It’s unbelievable how there are people sitting on the board of food corporations that can careless to put this stuff into your food supply. They would rather risk your health so they can make an extra dollar. So why is this stuff in your food? Believe it or not, and it is reality, the people that sit of the boards of these corporations view consumers as animals. This is no exaggeration. Most people in the general public will think that sugar must be, because if it wasn’t, well they would not have put it into our food that we buy at the grocery store, right? Well think again. The elites that are richer than you can imagine and they see themselves as something more special than you.  You are nothing but cattle to them. They want you to work, spend, and consume so they can get even richer. Who cares about your health. It’s reality and these people truly do think this way. 

Consumption of sugar will lead to addiction which then will lead to over-consumption. This is where the health problems begin. Even though I try my best to keep the stuff out of my system as much as I can, of course there are going to be times when I do consume it. Whether it’s in a salad dressing on a salad I ordered at a resturant, or a cracker or some bread I ate.  However, I don’t believe that it is going to affect me that much unless I continue to eat food tainted with it.  Therefore, I stick to my 6 mini-meal plan and only get my carbs from slow digesting foods. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t freak out if I do get some sugar or refined carbs into my system. And yes, once in a while it happens. But again, my meal plan curbs any addiction that can develop. And before I know it, weeks will go by and I’ll notice that I haven’t had anything refined.

So when it comes to breaking sugar addiction, do it the smart way. Don’t starve yourself or let yourself go hungry, because you don’t have to. If you are smart and educated in what you are doing, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to achieve your nutritional goals. And then the rest will follow.
