Sugar Correction Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Last week I went to see an alternative doctor for the first time. She

said I was having problems with hormonal imbalance, and from a high

sugar diet. I knew I had a problem with sugar. ..I eat well generally -

try to stick to whole foods, grass-fed meats, pastured eggs, whole

wheats, etc. but have a weakness for icecream, cookies,

twizlers. . .yum. So this doctor put me on a " Sugar Correction Diet "

for 2 weeks. No sugars or sweeteners (except for sucenant), meats,

eggs, nuts, dairy all ok, sprouted breads ok, roasted rice, ok. No soy

products, wheat, pasta, alcohol, corn, etc.

After my first full day of this, I was sick as a dog! I stuck to the

diet and by nighttime I had a horrible headache, was shaky and nausous.

I assumed I was going through withdrawl? The next day I put some real

sugar in my coffe, and that seemed to pep me up a little, then stayed

on the diet all day, but by night was feeling awful again. I had about

3 spoonfulls of icecream and felt better momentarily, but then crummy

again.

Am I right in thinking what I'm experiencing is withdrawl from an

addiction? Has anyone had similar experiences, and have advice on how

to get through it?

Thanks!
