Food Addictions, pt. 2: The Sugar Solution

"Eat less sugar you are sweet enough already."

Last week we discussed food addictions. One of the biggest contributors to the global issue of overweight and obesity is excess sugar consumption. The problem is two-fold, sugar is added to many foods and sugar is highly addictive.

Added sugar is the single worst ingredient in the modern diet. It provides calories with no added nutrients and in the long run, can damage your metabolism. Eating too much sugar is linked to weight gain and various diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and increased risk of cancer to name a few. According to the American Dietetic and Diabetic Association, increased sugar consumption is the leading cause of degenerative diseases.

Marketing campaigns and advertisements often mislead us into thinking we are making a healthy choice when this is not the case. We have all seen the commercials with Michael Phelps and contestants on The Biggest Loser eating Subway sandwiches while on their journey to improved health.  Consider this, recently Ireland's Supreme Court ruled that bread sold by the fast-food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread and should be classified as a confectionary. To be classified as bread sugar should not exceed 2% of the weight of flour included in the dough. Subway’s bread contains five times as much sugar. As the supreme court put it: “In this case, there is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10% of the weight of the flour included in the dough.”

Hidden Sugar

There are over 600,000 food items sold in the U.S and over 80% of these have added sugar. If you want a self care awakening look at the nutrition facts label on the food in your cupboards, refrigerator, and freezer. It will list sugar content expressed in grams per serving. Let us use a few examples, one soda can have as much as 45 grams of sugar per 12 ounces serving, which is equivalent to nearly 12 teaspoons of sugar. Popular breakfast cereals are spiked with sugar, some being as much as 55% sugar. Some surprising foods with more sugar than a Twinkie would include yogurt, tomato sauce, granola bars, fat-free salad dressings, muffins, and many canned fruits, typically containing 30 to 40 grams of sugar per serving. Even frozen green beans may have added sugar. You do not always see the word "sugar" on a food label. Marketers use other names, such as:

Agave nectar

Brown rice syrup

High-fructose corn syrup

Dextrose

Evaporated cane juice

Glucose

Lactose

Malt syrup

Molasses

Sucrose

Watch out for items that list any form of sugar in the first few ingredients or have more than 4 total grams of sugar per serving.

Marketing campaigns and advertisements often mislead us into thinking we are making a healthy choice when this is not the case.

Break the Sugar Addiction:

Most of us overindulge at times. But the more sugar we consume, the more sugar we want. However, the good news is that people can break the sugar addiction in 10 days. To break the sugar addiction, we need to monitor our daily consumption and keep it within a healthy level.

Monitor Sugar Consumption

To monitor sugar consumption, it is helpful to understand that 4 grams of sugar are equivalent to one teaspoon. It is recommended that a healthy daily consumption of sugar should not exceed 24 grams or six teaspoons for women and 36 grams or nine teaspoons for men, according to the American Heart Association.

Read food labels

The first step we need to take is to read food labels to keep your daily consumption at a healthy level. Read labels and journal your daily added sugar consumption. Heather has created a simple Weekly Self Care Journal to help track this and other self-care activities.

Crowding Out

Crowding is a method we have recently implemented in our diets. “Crowding Out” or “crowding” is a simple and positive approach that helps you fill up on healthy food. Try buying healthy foods that you actually like, this is important. There is no nutritional value to that shriveled fruit or veggie decomposing in your refrigerator. Get things that you like to eat and you will eat.

Let protein help

Eating protein is an easy way to curb sugar cravings. High-protein foods digest slowly, keeping you feeling full longer. Protein doesn't make your blood sugar spike the way refined carbs and sugars do. Protein shakes are ideal for this and a great way to start your day.

We choose Nikken’s Kenzen Vital Balance protein shake which contains organic moringa and naturally sweet monk fruit in addition to organic pea protein and organic vegetables. It is designed to help burn fat and boost metabolism as well as promote healthy brain function and the elimination of toxins in the body. With pre- and probiotics to assist in digestive and immune system activity, Kenzen Vital Balance is food for action and food for thought, perfect for all ages and a great way to not only nourish your body but also break the sugar addiction.



In addition, staying well hydrated and getting a good night’s sleep will help with cravings and assist in breaking the sugar addiction. Be Healthy by Choice.

Went to a superfun #realfoodrealpleasure @kettlechipsuk event where we dug up a veggie and won a bag of crisps then got to try a cocktail themed for that crisp. 🥔🍎🍠 This was all to introduce us to the three new crisp flavours from Kettle Chips which combine vegetable/fruit crisps and potato chips together with amazing flavours like smoked chipotle & creme fraiche, goats cheese & caramelised onions, and Norfolk pork sausage (with actual pork). 🥔🍎🍠 My favourite was smoked chipotle & creme fraiche which was on the sweet potato blend. Really delicious and I ate absolutely tons of them at the event. Really fun way to introduce us to the new flavours! 🥔🍎🍠 #kettlechips #kettlechipsuk #crisps #kettlecrisps #snackfood #potatochips #sweetpotatochips #sweetpotatocrisps #pressevent #pressday #iginfluencer #iginfluencersunite #addictedtofood #instafoodlover #instafoodgram #foodideas #foodinspiration #simplefood #simplefoods #foodblog #foodbloggers #londonfoodie #foodinspiration #foodinstagram #🥔 #🍠 http://bit.ly/2LRuAgn

Oh hell YES! Invited to the press launch of #bonnemaman fruit conserves and got to try my hand at making crepes for #chandeleur and I made the BEST #crepe of the day - GO ME! . So as I was with Bonne Maman I thought I’d take the opportunity to request some salted caramel sauce which is DIVINE! I cannot find it locally (either they hide it or don’t stock it) and as I was getting a jar LOOK at what they created for #lachandeleur 🤤 . They of course do all things sweet but they also made me a savoury crepe with goats cheese and their fig conservative and it was magical! So delicious I ate all of it! . So these amazing salted caramel crepes are easy to replicate if you have a few minutes and a jar of salted caramel sauce! . Just make 10 traditional crepes: 125g plain flour Pinch of salt 1 tbsp caster sugar 2 eggs beaten 25g melted butter plus extra for cooking 250ml semi-skim milk 3 tbsp cold water . Method: Add dry ingredients into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the beaten eggs to the well. Whisk slowly with a balloon whisk and as you do, add in the melted butter, milk and water. Whisk briskly into a thin batter. Heat a pan and wipe a little melted butter over the base. A crepe pan works best though. Drop a ladle full of batter and swirl around pan to thinly coat base. Cook for 2 mins until underside golden, then flip and cook other side. Because it will be mostly cooked, you can fold to flip. Cook for 1 more minute. . Stack the 10 crepes one by one, melting a 4 tbsp of salted caramel sauce and spreading a little between each layer. On the top, drizzle the remaining salted caramel over the top. If you are like me, you’ll likely use around 6tbsp of salted caramel sauce (ish) and there is no shame in licking the plate clean 😉 . #ad #soyummy #foodideas #foodinspiration #simplefood #simplefoods #epicurious #foodblog #foodbloggers #londonfoodie #foodinspiration #foodinstagram #foodporn #foodie #crepelovers #crepecake #creperie #colouryourcrepe #frenchcrepes #addictedtofood #instafoodporn #instafoodlover #instafoodgram http://bit.ly/2sXEPDM
