Hypnotherapy for Sugar Addiction

'Put some sugar in your tea', 'Yogurt should not be eaten like that, much too sour, take some sugar' or 'Porridge should be eaten with sugar, otherwise it won't taste good...'. Just some statements I grew up with. Ignorance then, addiction now, unfortunately. Sugar addiction is just as bad as drug addiction and how do you get rid of it?

Sugar and Drugs

Sugar, like drugs, is an addictive substance. It is a substance that makes you dependent and you don't even realize it. In fact, it's in so many things that you unknowingly ingest a lot of sugar.

You may be wondering if that's such a bad thing. What difference does that little bit of sugar make. And you might be right in your case. For you, it doesn't matter that much. You feel fine.

People who use cocaine often feel the same way until the point comes when it turns around and they experience all sorts of vague symptoms. Headaches, restlessness, poor sleep, rapid fatigue or other vague complaints.

The difference with a drug user is that they know it's because they know it's not really good. A sugar user doesn't know that and that's insidious. You don't know that those vague symptoms probably come from too much sugar....

Now it is not my intention to make you sugar-free(although that would be a good idea;-)). In fact, there is a course on the market that could help you do that. The course is by a good acquaintance of mine and I can really recommend it. Check out that course from her here.

No, my concern is with the people who really have a sugar addiction and really need to snack and snack because otherwise they are miserable.

Sugar Addiction and Hypnotherapy

Sugar addiction is very annoying and especially since it is in so many products. you don't have to call a courier to get an ounce of white powder. That white powder is practically in everything already. So your addiction is easily maintained.sugar addiction

It has become completely unconscious at some point. Suddenly you get an urge to eat and it doesn't go away until that urge is stilled. It has become an unconscious automatic program. Addicts sometimes refer to it as if someone else is deciding, as if there is a monkey on my back (the monkey on your back)

That program stays active in the background, which is so annoying. It may go ok for a while when you decide with willpower to fight it. However, the program remains active.

Then, when you only surrender yourself again because the willpower has run out, the unconscious program resurfaces and there you go again....

If you don't address that cause it will keep running that program. In our practice, we work with SVR™. That is a unique detection method that ensures that the program can be exposed.

Then when you transform that program it will never again give you the craving for the sugar. You can just keep eating it (if you want to...), because you will no longer experience the craving. A great effective way to break with that sugar addiction for good.

Of course, if you want to get rid of it for good, you can always make an appointment.

I'd love to hear what you think of this article!

To the best of my knowledge, anything with “too” in front of it is never good. Too much chocolate, too much coffee, etc., can have a negative effect on the human body, so too much sugar also belongs on that list. For example, children who have trouble concentrating or are very hyperactive are consistently advised to eat less sugar. And there are certainly other factors that play a role in sugar addiction. In that case, I think your statement definitely contains a grain of truth. This article is definitely worth reading for many people, and it gives them a chance to really think about whether they might be affected and consider taking action. Clear and insightful! Good luck with it!

Sugar itself is not addictive. It’s the way it’s processed in our food—a calculated “ideal” combination of fat, sugar, salt, and other substances—that causes us to become addicted. Try eating unlimited amounts of pure sugar—you’ll quickly lose your appetite for even one more bite. Whereas with chips or cookies, you’ll want more and more. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s far too much sugar in our products, and it hinders the absorption of healthy nutrients.

I totally agree with you. It's bad for your teeth, it will give you diabetes and it's so-called empty calories that contribute nothing to your health. And it is indeed addictive because of the direct effect on your sugar level. From me it can be forbidden!

Hi Edwin, The article is really spot on. Always being tired, tired, tired.... (It’s really annoying, and you feel like there’s nothing you can do about it—you feel listless, can’t get anything done, ...). You end up eating sugar to get a quick energy boost. Too much sugar is also very bad for your joints. So you definitely need to be careful with this when it comes to children. Fruit juices and smoothies contain a lot of sugar. They seem healthy, but… For a few years now (I’m not sure when it started), I needed my daily dose of sugar. I say “needed.” Since the hypnosis session on August 30 with you, I’ve been better able to say no. I really wanted to do something about it. After all, my problem was also affecting my little son. From now on, fruit (though I have to be careful—it contains sugar too) and vegetables have replaced cookies and candy. People who don’t see him very often are already saying he’s changed (much happier). Let me go back to the hypnosis day for a moment. During that day, one of the other participants made it very clear to me that I would find sugar disgusting and that I’d be able to say no to it. So far, days have gone by without me even thinking about sugar. In any case, I’m so grateful for it. Hopefully, my life will now get back on track. Best regards, Heidi

Hey Edwin and everyone, I really agree with this article. Especially the part about too much sugar. A delicious sweet pastry with coffee, and then a little extra sugar than usual—otherwise the coffee doesn’t taste good anymore. Now I’ve started cutting back on coffee right away. In fact, I don’t put any sugar or milk in my coffee at all. You should see my face when I drink it, haha. Anyway, I drink a lot of coffee, so that saves me 4 big sugar cubes per regular cup of coffee. This already makes me feel better. With willpower, you can definitely do it, and I’m less tired than before. The moral of the story… less is better ;) Keep it up, Edwin.

Refined sugars can go on the hard drug list as far as I'm concerned. Another effect of sugar that almost isn't mentioned: Your stomach can't completely digest refined sugars so some of it ends up in your intestines, there it makes the intestines porous causing nutrients before they are broken down into coloidal units to enter your bloodstream making it no longer "nutrition" but ballast for your blood. If you can help people get rid of their sugar addiction then you are doing good!

Hi Edwin, Sugar is definitely an addiction, and it’s also something that’s almost impossible—or very difficult—to give up! There are many synthetic sweet flavor enhancers found in a wide range of products, but your body does get used to them! These ingredients are often assigned an E-number; for example, aspartame is E951. You consume them unconsciously through things like candy, soft drinks, desserts, and the list goes on! The problem is that many products contain a flavor enhancer with the E621 number, which keeps you eating more and more! Because you keep eating, you automatically consume those substances again! So anything you consume in excess becomes an addiction. I used to drink so much coffee myself that at one point I was downing 16 cups a day! And that went on for months. It creeps up on you without you realizing it—you just think, “Hey, I’ll have one more cup, and then one more.” I’ve started cutting back to a maximum of 5 cups a day, and it takes a lot of effort on my part. But it’s up to you to flip the switch and stick with it! And that’s hard with all the things you overdo! And I definitely think it’s great that hypnotherapy can make such a big difference in your life!! It’s definitely something to consider for people who don’t have the willpower to break the habit on their own!! Good luck, Edwin—I thought it was a great article you wrote ;-)

As far as I know, we are talking about sugars in all the products we buy. We only need 20 a day, but we consume pounds by the year. But the danger is in the combination with fat. But as was said on TV the same brain area as in drug addicts lights up when examined with the mri scan. Edwin you can be better and more honest and not that it is subconscious but rather talk about ignorance. Because we(society) did not know it is/was so bad. You better post the link of the program it was on yesterday with your article is my advice rather than using it as something for your sale. Just be honest about that. Greetings and good luck.

@Peter Of course it’s ignorance—just as smoking once was. Still, the fact is that even if you know this now, it doesn’t make it any easier to kick the habit. That’s because it has become an unconscious, automatic program. And that program is easier to transform through hypnosis than through willpower. Of course, it’s also possible to do so—as many smokers prove every year by quitting—but it takes more energy.

That’s absolutely right; Candida (a fungus that feeds on sugar) is also very common and can cause, for example, vaginal discomfort, fatigue, etc. However, this doesn’t apply to everyone. You can get tested to see if your physical symptoms are caused by sugar. In conventional medicine, they don’t make a big deal out of it, but in the alternative sector, they certainly do.
