sugar addict and hypoglycemia

[Guest guest]

In 'The Schwarzbein Principle' she writes about sugar being a stimulant.

When our blood sugar is not stable because of our inadequate diets we crave

stimulants, including sugar to bring our seritonin levels up so we feel

'good'. I learned a lot about why I get depressed when I don't control my

hypoglycemia with my diet.

It is also why I recommend getting to a support group as it is almost

impossible to quit by yourself....the foggy brain keeps you in a place where

only a severe experience can give you the resolve to quit (called hitting

bottom). Most don't make it, THEY DIE.

Sound dramatic? Just one example is: How many people do you know who have

diabetes and won't give up their junk foods?
