Made it seem as though it was normal to be obsessed with sugary treats, right? The truth is, it\u2019s not. We weren\u2019t born with this sugar addiction. It develops over time. Our taste buds send signals to our brains telling us it\u2019s what we want, when it\u2019s not actually natural or good for us.<\/p>\n<p>Train Your Brain-\u00a0Now that we know these sugar cravings are something that we develop rather than something we\u2019re born with, it\u2019s a matter of training our brains. Fitness trainer and expert, Patrick Murphy told\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/quit-sugar-addiction\/slide6\">Byrdie<\/a>, it\u2019s mind over matter. According to Murphy, \u201cNow it\u2019s the time to change your choices and give your taste buds the chance to develop a craving (or liking for) the opposite of sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Detox-\u00a0Going on a healthy detox is another way to quit that sugar addiction. Eating well in order to reset your body feels less intimidating than quitting cold turkey. My suggestion? Read Super\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shop.com\/Super+Cleanse+Detox+Your+Body+for+Long+Lasting+Health+and+Beauty+Paperback+-531991772-o+.xhtml\">Cleanse: Detox Your Body for Long- Lasting Health and Beauty<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This book gives you all the tips you need for a healthy detox.<\/p>\n<p>Steer Clear of Artificial Sweeteners-\u00a0You aren\u2019t fooling anyone by using artificial sweeteners over real sugar. They\u2019ll actually heighten your sugar craving, according to Murphy. When grocery-shopping aim for words like \u201cunsweetened\u201d or \u201cno sugar added.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s scary. Letting go of sugar is no easy task, but it\u2019s also not doing you any favors. You can do it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In need of a sugar fix?
