Refined sugar is one of the main causes of many chronic diseases, fatigue, and aging today. The body's addiction to sugar is just like a drug addiction; the more you cut it, the more you crave it. A 7-day detox is a great start to break this cycle.
7-Day Detox Rules
- Throw away all carbonated drinks, packaged snacks, and ready-made fruit juices.
- Limit daily fruit consumption to one serving (e.g., 1 green apple) because fruits also contain natural sugar (fructose).
- Consume plenty of water, mineral water, and green tea.
How to Deal with Sweet Cravings?
It is very normal to experience headaches, fatigue, and severe sweet cravings during the first 3 days of the detox. At these moments, you can balance your insulin level by consuming a handful of raw almonds, yogurt with cinnamon, or sugar-free peanut butter. Cinnamon is one of the most powerful spices that regulate blood sugar. After 7 days, you will notice that your taste buds have changed and your energy has increased.
