Are You a Sugar Addict?

Just a brief post to tell you about Anitag Flegg's excellent site on hypoglycemia - where you can sign up for her regular newsletter.

Here is the latest newsletter, as an example of what you'll find in it:

"Eating sugar makes us feel good. I used to crave sugar constantly and I realized that I was addicted. That sounds extreme but I found that one sugary treat inevitably lead to another. How else could I describe it but as an addiction?

The continual sugar ups and down are very hard on the system and long-term “sugar abuse” causes wear and tear on your body. You will probably feel tired, hungry, frequently irritable and unable to concentrate.

The best way to feel better is to get off the “sugar rollercoaster”. It’s not easy but the problem can’t finally be solved until your system gets used to being without the instant gratification of the sugar “hit”.

Next week: How to start getting off sugar… "
