Arm Toning And Sugar Addictions

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Sugar addiction exists, the research proves this. And it's in your best interest to avoid it at all costs if you want to maximize your arm toning. Beating ANY addiction is no walk in the park, but you can do it.

What data points to the existence of sugar addictions? First, rodents given massive amounts of sugar demonstrate the same brain changes that someone would present when addicted to opiates. Second, naxolone, a drug used to combat overdoses, has the ability to temporarily blunt a sugar addiction. And finally, sugar is routinely used in hospitals as an effective pain killer for infants during surgery and other procedures.

So let me ask you the million dollar question, do you think you are addicted to sugar? There are two effective ways for determining this. First, is your emotional state dependent on your sugar intake. Second, are you coming up with complex and detailed reasons as to why you are NOT addicted as you read this paragraph?

And it's critical that you beat this thing if you want to maximize your arm toning. You see, sugar blocks the release of arm fat burning hormones into your body. So today I am going to discuss 4 tools that can help you overcome sugar addiction:

1. Substitutes. Remember that strange aftertaste you used to get after drinking your favorite diet soda? Well, the good news is that sugar substitutes have changed a lot. And although a substitute won't give you an energy high, it will taste just like sugar. My favorite one is stevia, an all natural herb from south America.

2. Loose leaf teas. The king of all loose leaf teas is yerba mate. This is the most powerful appetite suppressant I have ever found. It will kill your sugar cravings on the spot and it will accelerate your arm toning because it's also a thermogenic. Don't go overboard with this one, it takes about an hour to kick in and can have effect for up to 8 hours.

3. Using weights. Weight lifting is the best way to skyrocket your appetite and readjust your palate to liking healthy foods just as much as sugary foods. That salad with grilled chicken breasts and an olive oil vinaigrette will taste better than ever after an intense workout.

4. Emotional healing. You need to address the emotional side of the addiction if you want long term success. The best method I have found for doing this is cognitive therapy. "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns M.D. is your best bet for self-administering this powerful method. Mind you, this is the number one recommended book by therapists.

Sugar is everywhere and unfortunately, we are biologically programmed to seek it out from the day we are born. However, if you want to accelerate your arm toning, you need to reduce your intake as much as possible. And if you are addicted, this won't be easy. But it's possible, and easier than ever before with all the new tools at your disposal.

Finally, I would like to point out that it's absolutely critical that you take quick action on this information. If you let this article simply sit in the back of your head, you'll forget the tips. - 32369
