That alone will help you tough it out and make it through your sugar detox days.

 

It Takes Willpower

 

It’s going to take some willpower to make it through a sugar detox. You’re going to want that candy bar or donut. Are you ready to not give in and make it through a few days of sugar cravings? The key is to keep in mind that it will get easier as time goes by and that you’re doing this for an important reason – to improve your health, lose weight, look better, feel better and reduce your risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Keep reminding yourself that you can do this and that it will be worth it in the end. If you want it bad enough, you will find the willpower to make it through your sugar detox. Of course, keeping all sugar treats out of the house will help with temptation as well.

 

It’s Not Going To Be Pleasant

 

This isn’t going to be easy and it isn’t going to be pleasant. In addition to craving your favorite sugary treats, you’ll likely experience headaches and possibly nausea, joint pain and dizziness. Knowing this ahead of time will keep you from being shocked and surprised when these detox side effects start to pop up.

 

It helps to start your sugar detox on a Friday. You can make it through your work day before the headaches start and then have all weekend to detox. By the time Monday rolls around you should be through the worst of it. Just keep yourself busy or spend a good amount of time sleeping as you make it through to the other side.

 

The Side Effects Will Be Temporary And You’ll Come Out Of It Feeling Much Better

 

Speaking of that, keep reminding yourself that this is only temporary. Make yourself tough it out one more hour. Go watch a movie, call a friend or go for a walk. Distract yourself and before you know it the hour will be over. Keep it up hour after hour and you’ll get through your sugar detox before you know it. Remember that this is only a temporary feeling.  I promise that you’ll feel much better after a few hours. The health benefits of freeing yourself from your sugar addiction are well worth the making it through the unpleasant side effects of a sugar detox.
