Whether it’s giving up habits, compulsions and addictions for diet weight loss, quitting smoking, drinking or anything else, I have used this simple highly successful formula and it costs nothing! It does, however, require simple changes to be made and adhered to along the way and this is the key. To explain how the formula works I shall use myself as an example and how I gave up my overeating of sugar based products. Before I start I would like to mention that sugar is an unnatural, metabolic poison to the body capable of causing ageing, weight gain, diabetes, hyperactivity, depression, mood swings and a whole host of other ailments... If this isn’t your habit, compulsion or addiction then substitute it for the one that is and relate to it in principle: How to give up sugar on a slow and steady gradient This is how I have given up some of my sugar eating habits. Like I’ve said it is quite simple and has worked really well for me, without feeling too uneasy along the way. First, give up something you feel comfortable with. No matter how small or insignificant it is. Just do it. Then, after a length of time, when you no longer eat this food, and don’t want to, go on to the next step. Then, step two, give up something else you feel comfortable with…and apply the same principles as step one. Then give up something else in the same way and so on… There are two crucial principles that must be applied when it comes to giving up sugar on a slow and steady gradient (or giving up any anything for that matter). In order for it to work, chose time lengths between each above step that are comfortable for you. For example if it takes as long as a year to successfully give up sugar completely, because each step took so long then so be it…and NEVER, NEVER, go back into eating any of the smallest things you have given up along the way. The same of course applies after having kicked the habit completely. Just the slightest fanciful morsel eaten will open the floodgates for your habit to return fully and no doubt becomes your ruin! Turn to fruits instead There are plenty of highly nutritious low-glycemic index fruits, which could be eaten as a compromise for the sweet stuff. Low glycemic index fruits include: Apples, cherries, plumbs, grapefruit, and bananas… Eat more proteins and fats, instead of the starchy/grainy carbohydrate foods on the market with little nutrition value. Some of the starchy/grainy foods are advertised as low-calorie, but it also follows they have a low nutrition value. Don’t be fooled by the advertising on the label. Finally, eat at regular intervals so that your insulin levels are more consistent. In summary, yes, I know it is simple but I have learned and observed how people not only kick habits this way but also grow and transform...
