(133,178 posts)4. It takes a week of torture to get rid of sugar addiction. Just bear down
for a week eating no sugary things or carrots or corn. Then roast your asparagus or brussel sprouts in the oven and get your sugar that way. Carmelization. Balsamic vinegar. I or two berries at the end of a meal. They will taste sweet and divine. And you can add pumkin seeds to your greek yogurt to make it crunchy and delicious then.....when your sugar sensitivity has adjusted and is much higher you will enjoy good healthy greek yogurt or veggies cooked by roasting. Throw in some bits of coconut or blue cheese or sundried tomatoes to add flavour to your savory dishes. Lots of fresh herbs. It is a whole new world. But you have to get off sugar for a week to 10 days till your body adjusts.

Get Redmond salt (good price at Costco.) You need the minerals that good salt has.
