Before I began this journey I was blind about sugar. I had to idea what sugar did to my body. I could not see clearly what was happening to my body when I was putting table sugar in my system. The more I ate sugar(doughnuts,candy,sodas,etc. The more I craved and wanted more sugar. It got to the point that when I had a headache, I would go and drink a coke, because I said whew I need some caffeine to get rid of this headache. Well, after the coke, my headache would leave. I was relieved, but today looking back, it was not the caffeine, it was the sugar in the coke. My body was craving that sugar and caused me to get a headache. It is so crazy how your body is so use to sugar(table sugar)and when you dont have in a day your body starts to have withdrawals…WOW!!! Is that not crazy???
The more I read up on sugar I am so amazed at some of the symptoms that you get just eating sugar, here are some…
Sugar can cause depression,
Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance,
Sugar can cause headaches, including migraines,
Sugar causes food allergies,
Sugar can cause drowsiness and decreased activity in children, and there are a lot more.
Just look up on google, what sugar does to your body, you will be surprised…I was. I am so thankful that the Lord opened my eyes, and He is restoring my body. I dont think I look at sweets the same as I did.
They say it takes at least 12 weeks, before your body will stop completely thinking about sugar. But, I can tell you already I do not crave sugar like I use to. It is so amazing, because if you knew how I was with sweets you would be amazed at the difference in me now. For instance everytime I went to my moms I would grab something sweet, but now I grab some fruit. It is so amazing.
I am so thankful for God showing me what sugar does to my body, and so thankful He is restoring my body.
Mark 8:25
25Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
you are becoming quite the nutritionist in your journey – this is very informative. I really LOVE what you are doing Neecie, Keep it up!
Thank you!!! Sugar is very interesting. It is very interesting, because sugar comes from sugar cane, but its the chemicals that man puts in the sugar(after it crystallizes from the sugar cane) that makes it bad. See that is a prime example. God made sugar cane because it comes from the ground, but man had to go and add chemicals to it, so no wonder it is bad for you. You can not add or take anything away what God makes. It never works!!
