Diet food
When you are on the Sugar Addicts plan, the diet food you eat will be very natural and focused on minimal processing.
The point of the plan is to avoid any refined type of carbohydrates so that you don't send your blood sugar levels fluctuating considerably.
By eating the diet food recommendations they give you will find that naturally you'll lose weight, as you'll likely consume fewer calories each day. The main diet food to eat when you are adopting this approach is going to be whole grain breads, brown rice, potatoes, yams, fruits and vegetables. Additionally, you should then be having lean protein sources including chicken breasts, lean beef, egg whites (with the occasional yolk thrown in), fish, salmon, cottage cheese and other low-fat cheese products. Finally, with that you'll supplement the program with healthy sources of fat like nuts, olive oil and avocado's.
The types of choices you want to avoid then are going to be refined carbohydrates such as white bread, white rice, pasta, chips, sweetened cereals, cakes, candy, soda, cooking sauces made with sugar, ketchup, yogurt sweetened with sugar and fancy coffee dessert drinks.
While on the plan, if you feel like you are really, really craving a more processed food, allow yourself a small amount however be sure to eat it with some protein or healthy fat in order to slow its release in the blood stream. This will prevent you from noticing the negative side effects that would occur if you had just eaten it alone.
