Right now Americans eat 100 pounds of sugar and 8 pounds of broccoli. Interesting. The USDAs recommendation for Americans is to not have more then 10 teaspoons of sugar but Americans have 30 teaspoons of sugar. America is the fatest people in the world and about half of America are over wight. Scary right????
I see people every day walking around with a Starbucks "whatever sugary coffee drink" they are drinking. The blood sugar goes up and down for them. Like a roller coaster.
We all know that sugar gives us some kind of discomfort. We also know that it gives us a fast energy that shoots up to the roof and then we drop down really hard. We all have our own relationship with sugar. But it's not the sugar that is the problem it's the solution at that moment that is the problem. Meaning you lost your energy and need fast energy normally that is sugar or can it be something else you craving? Really ask your self what you are craving. Is it comfort is it a hug from your sweetheart or is your diet not balanced? These are what it can be. Only you know.
So ask yourself "what am I craving now" and really try to understand what it is. Find better food to crave then sugar. Like nuts, dried fruits etc.
So that was all this Monday.
With love C
Stay happy.
