Sweet Endings

When I was growing up I was exposed to a lot of treats that came in many forms. These treats were filled with an addictive ingredient called sugar. I loved eating desserts because they tasted good and it made me happy. Who doesn't like to feel happy all the time?

Over the years I continued to experiment with many different types of desserts like the usual suspects, cookies, candy, cheesecake, all baked goods and the list goes on and on. I always tell people that I never met a sweet I didn't like. Well, there was one ingredient that I didn't care for and it was coconut. Other than that, nothing was off limits. Every time I was around a sweet I felt compelled to eat it, whether I was hungry or not.

My company does a lot of work with law firms and every time I'm at one of my clients offices I walk by and see doughnuts, cake or cookies in their lunch room. You will find these items in just about every business in the country. Kind of a scary thought, but it is the norm in today's society. I find it interesting that there is such a push for healthy employees and yet most companies don't discourage these types of foods in their lunch rooms.
Maybe they feel that their employees need a sugar boost to keep them awake and engaged?

There is an alternative to keeping someone engaged and that would be to provide an environment of better health. I know that is so foreign to most everyone on the planet, but it is an alternative. As I mentioned before, I was the same way as so many people that couldn't kick the sweet tooth. Sugar is addicting and there is no way around it. Maybe they should set up facilities where you can go to "detox" from sugar. I'm not sure the insurance companies would pay for that, but it is a thought.

So, how did I kick the sweet habit? Well, it wasn't easy, but I did it with nutrition. Huh? Yes, I did it by flooding my body with high quality nutrient dense super food. Once I tried the "7 Day Super Food Challenge" I lost all of my cravings for sweets. When I say all, I mean ALL! I no longer eat any sweets and the only sugar I put into my body is natural sugar that is found in the Isagenix products. The sugar that they use is all natural and it is not processed. The amount of sugar is like eating 1/8 of an apple.

If you were like me, at the end of the day after dinner or after any meal for that matter, I needed something sweet. I always would have a craving for something sweet before bedtime and, of course, that is the worst thing you can put in your body before bed. The reason I needed something sweet? My body was craving it because the meal I just consumed had NO nutrition. If you have a perpetual sweet tooth then I recommend you start putting nutrition in your diet. I know it will be a challenge at first because you are so conditioned to eating something sweet after dinner, but soon you will find yourself losing the cravings for something sweet.

I can't tell you how good I feel that I no longer am enticed by sweets or soda. It has dramatically changed my life and I am on a mission to help others do the same. Of course, there has to be one thing that must be included in moving away from sweets and that is DESIRE. If you don't have the desire to change then you won't, but know that if you do you can say goodbye to sweet endings for good! I believe it's in your best interest to do so.
