Recipes That Cure Your Type Of Sugar Addiction And Help You Lose Weight And Feel Great!

Genre: Health
As many of you may know I had the pleasure of reviewing ‘Beat Sugar Addiction Now’ a short while back where I learnt a lot about different types of sugar addictions and what was necessary to make the shift away from that addiction. A valuable book with great information that helped me understand my own sugar addictions (see HERE for that review).
Now I have the pleasure of reviewing the cookbook that supports any changes from being a sugar addict to being addiction free.
‘Beat Sugar Addiction Now! Cookbook’ is equally as thorough and informative. It takes you through the different addiction types again, not in as much detail, but enough to understand what your challenges may be. It begins the book by going through the basics of how to break sugar addiction and then moves into individual chapters for each sugar addiction type. Each chapter is filled with specific recipes for the challenges posed by each sugar addiction, summarising why the recipes will help that particular type. I found the section on alternative sweeteners very informative. Some I had not heard of and will be looking into myself.
With 120 recipes this is a book to be worked through and an ongoing process of transforming your health, releasing your addiction and losing weight. The recipes include some sweet treat alternatives, but focus a lot on the savoury aspect of stopping the addiction. I found this very worthwhile and rewarding, because when I gave up sugar over 6 months ago, I knew I had to go through a period of 3 months without treats. I had to do this so that my taste-buds adjusted. I am not saying that this is what you need to do, as everyone differs, but this books gives you a roadmap for a healthier eating balance; with lots of ideas in the recipes to expand on.
The Recipes
Unlike some recipe books this is easy to read and create from. The recipes are not complicated, which is what I prefer – simple and easier cooking, and include recipes for breakfast, dinner, dessert and side dishes. For the purpose of review I tried one of the simple recipes in the PMT/Hormone sugar addiction type section of the book, because I was going through a few days of PMT myself and felt that this was the best meal to try out.
I made an absolutely delicious omelette called the BLISSFUL BONE-BUILDING OMELET
The recipe included eggs, cream, black pepper, spinach, goats cheese, basil and olive oil and was a really easy recipe. The benefits of this dish included the mood-boosting tryptophan from the goats cheese, and calcium from the spinach to build stronger bones. And it also said that calcium helps keep you calm which in turn reduces the cravings for sweet foods. The omelette was also high in the vitamin E and C that also keep hormones and blood sugar levels stable.
Along with recipes for the different types of sugar addictions it also has a section of recipes for all sugar addictions and like the other book gives you a section of supplements that can also support your lifestyle change.

splenda- I would not use this bc it has aspertame in it and i rather use sugar regardless. but thats just me and speaking of, i do need to cut back on sugar too
Yes I am with you on that one, I don't have refined sugar but if I had a choice between deadly aspartame and refined sugar I know which I would choose.
I understand, I don't have refined sugar but if I had to choose between deadly aspartame and refined sugar I know which one I would choose.
I use agave syrup a lot for baking, along with date syrup (totally delicious!) and I use xylitol quite a bit, although it sounds horribly chemical it is made from birch trees! I also occasionally use coconut palm sugar & rapadura (from cane sugar but with all the goodness still in it!)
I've found that baking without cane sugar & wheat is possible it just takes a bit more imagination during the cooking process.
I would avoid aspartame like the plague due to the dreadful results found after testing.
Splenda. I don't use sweetners.
I have been hearing a lot about Truvia & Stevia lately.
splenda / canderel / sweetex – l don't use them but my diabetic husband uses canderel
Ive heard a lot about Stevia and of course the different sweetners on the martket – I wouldnt be against trying alternatives to sugar unless there was research to prove they were unsafe.
Splenda. Don't really know much about them.
I have heard about stevia but don't know a lot about it!
Splenda. I don't really know much about it but friends recommend it.
splenda and truvia, i don't use any!
splenda and that's it!
splenda!
Sweet n Low
Canderel, Truvia, Sweet n low. I prefer Canderel because theres no aftertaste
splenda and sweet-n-low
Canderal and sweetex. I did use Canderal but not any more.
I know of Sugar Twin, Sween n Low, Splenda, Stevia
I use Stevia
Stevia though I have never used it. I find most artificial sweeteners taste, well artificial. Awful after taste, bleurgh
I try not to use alternative sweeteners because I find that they make my sugar cravings worse – I find a handful of berries is great for sweetening things like porridge or yogurt.
splenda and canderel. i dont use them though as they taste sweeter than sugar to me!
canderel, stevia and splenda and I don't use them because i LOVE sugar lol
The only ones I know are Canderel and Sweetex
canderal all the way xx
Stevia
Splenda and Sweetex
I don't use artificial sweeteners as I dislike the taste and aspartime especially makes me feel sick. I usually sweeten foods with fruits but I appreciate that even fruit sugars are a problem as a diabetic so mostly avoid sweetening foods as much as possible.
Any kind of sweetners think there yuk lol
I use Tesco granulated sweetener. I have to avoid anything containing aspartame as it makes me ill so I spend a lot of time shopping as I have to check the ingredients before buying. Sometimes aspartame is even present in non diet products. I've found that the diet products I buy from Asda (for example diet cola and lemonade) do not contain aspartame.
I mostly know of honey and maple syrup. I don't use artificial sweeteners – can't stand sugar in tea or coffee anyway!
Hi Kelly – Thanks for the great review! I'm the co-author of the Beat Sugar Addiction Now! Cookbook. I hope you all find it useful! BTW, I use Truvia, I find it tastes best! Thanks! Chrystle
Your welcome Chrystle and thanks for contacting me, lovely to connect. Thanks for the tips
Splenda and truvia
Stevia
Candarel, Splenda, Truvia…like the sound of Truvia being natural extracts
Candarel. Aspartame – I try to avoid all artificial sweetners as I have read awful things about them. I also dislike the taste so avoid diet drinks if possible
i hate chemical sweetners – if anything i try and use honey
I have have never tried it,but like the sound of Truvia or Stevia.I used to use Canderel,but it used to make me feel sick,so gone back to using ordinary sugar now,an only excuse I have is cos it's cheaper and I'm on a budget
I've only heard of saccharin. I think aspartame is used in diet drinks. I heard they are supposed to be carcigens so would like to avoid if possible.
I use Canderel xx
aspartame is the only one im aware off.. I did use sweeteners but now I swear against them because of the associated potential health risks.
honey
I use honey as a sweetner, it's natural and yummy!
i dont use sweeteners just normal sugar
I don't use any sweeteners with aspartame, but i sometimes use honey. Mostly I just use regular sugar though.
I use honey – its yum!
Manuka honey, sweet like toffee and really good for you
I've used splenda before but I prefer regular sugar.
honey or syrup
use stevia but avoid all artificial
I use sweetex and canderel.
I very rarely use sugar. I haveused canderel in cooking though
I tend not to use artificial sweetner as the research on it is imited. If I do, I use stevia as it is the most natural
I never use sugar – just sweetners
I use honey, I would never use sweet n low or chemical type sweetners, I just don't think they're as good for you are natural ones.
