[Forum] Does Phase 2 of South Beach Stop Sugar Addiction?
Friday, November 6, 2009 10:37I am an avid fan of the south beach diet. I have lost weight on it and most importantly stopped my sugar addiction (well that was 4 months ago). It is important to me not to have a sugar addiction because doctors have told me that due to my insulin levels (when I was on a high-sugar diet to treat a previous hypoglycemia that I suffered with) I am developing insulin resistance. Many family members in my family have passed away with type-2 diabetes (non-obseity linked). Sugar addiction scares me.
I have slipped up recently and have noticed a greater urge for eating and sugared foods (breads, milk, fruit, ice cream, etc.). I want to loose the sugar craving but I want to start on phase 2 since I don't necessarily have weight to loose. Has anyone had success loosing the sugar cravings on phase 2?
