Is there safe Binge Eating Sugar?





If you are binge eating it can result in many health complications, if it is sugar which you are bingeing a new study shows that it can literally shorten the lifespan. We received an email from a reader who describes herself as a “binger”, she drinks about 2 liters of soda per day whenever she is bingeing. Binge eating usually involves the consumption of many different foods but there are times when we simply crave an abundance of sugar.

 

 

Sugars have received a lot of negative attention lately and some of this bad press has actually not been fair, in moderation plain white sugar is very safe. There are many people who are consuming a tremendous amount of the natural sweeteners and it causing a tremendous amount of medical complications. Sugars are safe in limited quantities but once a person is consuming a lot of sugar it affects the brain, heart, liver and even speeds the ageing process. A New study from The University of California study reveals the stunning way that sugars speed the aging process and causes wrinkling of the skin. The shorter your telomere, the harder it is for a cell to regenerate, this is why some people age faster than others, the new study shows sugars actually speed up the aging process.

“We think we can get away with drinking lots of soda as long as we are not gaining weight, but this suggests that there is an invisible pathway that leads to accelerated aging, regardless of weight,”   said psychiatry professor Elissa Epel, Senior researcher. 

It is clear that binge eating sugar damages the cells of the body, all bingeing is causes by an emotional experience which triggers the need to binge. Often there are hidden emotional experiences which trigger a brain response to consume a mass amount of food; this may have been formed in childhood or adulthood.

There is good news, researchers have shown that you can have your sugar and eat it too, a diet for bingers is now used in over 10 countries, it allows bingers to eat what they like while de-activating the brain trigger to binge.

Can't control Food Craving? See Why

If you can't control a food craving it is important to know that this is a very strong addiction that can result in obesity, diabetes or other serious health complications. For many people the cravings for certain foods can become a very difficult habit to break, it is not your fault; science shows that the reason why the urge is so uncontrollable is due to the fact that the brain impulses triggers and fire an uncontrollable desire to keep eating. This is not your fault but it is an dangerous cycle.

How the brain hooks you and the danger

Brain chemicals such as insulin and leptin are extremely powerful, leptin and insulin and other chemicals all interact and determine your cravings for food; the brain triggers fire resulting in the desire to keep eating. For some night time cravings are when the brain triggers fires a response causing the desire to eat (or at times “pig out”, this is not something that will power can control. This is a powerful urge that can lead to diabetes, obesity and heart disease. The longer you have the habit the harder it is to break, the brain is in control not will power.

If you can't control food craving science shows us that for example sugar cravings react on the brain similar to narcotics such as heroin!

A study published in North American Association for the Study of Obesity revealed the amazing results of how the cravings can be difficult to stop.

The study conclusion:
Repeated, excessive intake of sugar created a state in which an opioid antagonist caused behavioral and neurochemical signs of opioid withdrawal. The indices of anxiety and DA/ACh imbalance were qualitatively similar to withdrawal from morphine or nicotine, suggesting that the rats had become sugar-dependent.

Sugar addiction is no different than Cigarettes or any opiates(Heroin or Cocaine)

What works

If you can't control your food craving it must be addressed before the effects ruin the heart,liver or kidneys, the longer the habit continues the harder it is to break. Each year people fail at dieting for the simple reason that most diets never address these powerful brain triggers, only a diet created for food addictions has ever been shown to stop sugar or any other food cravings. Will power is no match for a powerful brain trigger causing an urge to eat or overeat, will power is no match for the brain triggers for sugars and fats. Only a diet created for food cravings was ever shown to stop the brain triggers naturally, people were allowed to eat what they wanted and still learned to deactivate the cravings. This worked in over 10 countries naturally over thousands.
