I am addicted to sugar?

Lots of ideas for you:\n\nDrink plenty of water - being dehydrated makes you crave sugar.\nEat good chocolate - get some of the 70% stuff, you won't want to eat so much of it.\nEat good food before you get too hungry - that'll stop you craving a sugar fix.\nEat sweet things like fresh or dried fruit and have a drink of water when you want to eat sugar.\nOnly eat sugar after a meal, that way it won't make you go sugar high and then hit a sugar low.

Salad... but load it up with mushrooms, egg, lean ham or turkey, low-fat/non-fat cheese, sprouts, etc... No croutons.  Then use a light dressing like a balsamic vinegarette which you can make yourself... mustard, a dash of Splenda, salt, olive oil, and pepper blended well makes a good dressing too.  Fruit, unfortunately, has sugars in it.  Granted, they are better for you than pure cane sugar, to get your body off of the sugar addiction try eating more vegetables (raw, roasted, grilled), chicken with no sauce (just rub with seasoning), seafood, and beef. Then slowly allow yourself FRESH fruit, and you will see a major difference with your cravings. I'm completely off sugar now, and couldn't be happier with my health or weight!

Stop eating sugar and while flour products.  Eat only meat, nuts, and vegatables and your cravings will disappear.

Some people do have a craving such as this with little effect. You must have several blood sugar levels done to rule out diabetes. Glucose tolerance test. \n\nIf you don't have this problem, then not a big deal. Unless there are an adverse effects on you in some way to your health. I hope you are getting the other nutrition as you should to balance some of this.

You need to see a doctor and get a glucose tolerance test.  That is a high fasting blood sugar and needs investigating...;

Try a little negative association-every time you want chocolate,dab hot sauce on your tongue,or be good 6 days a wk,indulging on the seventh day.I think there's more power in the pull of something forbidden to us,so maybe foregoing it altogether isn't an option,but a sugar free alternative may help you atleast curb it,GOOD LUCK

it isnt good for your heath...that's for sure.  lays are full of transfat and sodium (which is probably the reason you are addicted, salt makes you want MORE!!!).  My suggestion:  If you really want some Lays.....go for something else that is better for you.  Im addicted to Lemonheads candy, strange I know, but every time I want some, I go for raisins.  They are good for you and they taste sweet.  I know that some ppl dont like raisins, but you can find something that is better to eat and for you.  Good luck!!

Eat regularly. Avoid skipping meals or starving yourself. Include planned,\nhealthy snacks into your eating plan. Sugar cravings get more intense\nwhen you’re over-hungry.\n• Eat more complex carbohydrates, especially high fiber, whole grain\nproducts. Minimize simple sugars and refined products. Cakes, cookies,\nsweets, white rice, white bread, and white pasta may cause an “insulin\nreaction” which makes you feel sluggish and crave more sugar.\n• Include a good source of protein and/or healthy fat with each meal.\nProtein and fat are digested more slowly and give satiety to meals.\n• Cut back on caffeine. Caffeine wreaks havok with blood sugar levels,\nincreasing the chance of overeating later.\nHave you got a sweet tooth that never seems to get its fill?  If so, take a look at your diet. Have you eaten foods that are high in simple, fast absorbing carbohydrates?  \n\nIf so, fast absorbing carbs equals an overload of glucose in the blood.  Insulin pushes out the glucose, thus creating low blood sugar in some individuals.  \n\nSolution:  Better management of blood sugar, smarter food choices and eating at regular intervals. And it wouldn't hurt to get your blood sugar evaluated by your doctor.

I have same trouble. .  dessert has always been my favorite part of the meal.   Unfortunately, there really aren't any shortcuts;  there are four factors that will affect your sugar level   1)Food and 2)Stress will make it go up  and 3) Physical exertion and 4) Insulin will make it go down.  It's a daily chore to maintain a balance of all of these but it's really the only way.   To echo others' sentiments here on Yahoo! Answers,  even if it sounds like really excellent advice!,  Don't depend on it to determine your actions.  Talk to your Doctor or a registered Dietitian please!

Low sugar is dangerous when it gets down to 60 mg/dl and lower.\n\nwhen it get down to dangerous level, you will sweat heavily, and feel\nsleepy,because brain can not work without sugar.Your body will start shaking.If you are sleeping you will suddenly wake up.\n\nWhen you are in this situation body wants sugar very fast.\nDRINK ORANGE JUICE OR ANY SWEET JUICE.\niF YOU HAVETHIS PROBLEM MORE OFTEN, THEN ALWAYS KEEP CANDY IN YOUR  POCKET. BUT EAT CANDY IN A LIMIT.\nYOU DO NOT WANT TO SHOOT UP THE SUGAR TO VERY HIGH. EAT CANDY OR DRINK JUICE ONLY SO YOU FEEL\nSTRENGTH IN THE BODY.\n\nIf low sugar is a  frequent problem, then always keep some snack \nwith you. Eat when you feel hungry. Do not wait till you starve, and do not over eat. Eat regularly at regular time.\n\nBut also discuss this with your doctor.\nI am not a doctor, but I am an experienced diabetic.\n\nGood luck

Yes. sugar can be an addiction, plus can cause teeth and gum problems. WEIGHT gain and it can cause bad skin problems in some people. Getting a sugar High, lasts only a short time and the cycle continues... Eat FRESH FRUIT AND THINK BEFORE YOU EAT THE CANDY.  It is hard to get off sugar. but you can substitute for a healty snack.. Good Luck

I've been blessed with an addictive personality.\n\nSo far in life I've gotten myself addicted to Pepsi, Coffee, Ensure, Orange Juice, Chocolate (I have never discriminated against any chocolate), smoking, drugs, alcohol, singing, bad boys, following the leader, rollerblading, and self-pity.\n\nI've also been blessed with the power to overcome most of these addictions ... I'm left with Coffee, Chocolate (in moderation), singing, Italian men (oops it went from bad boys worse to Italian men), rollerblading, and laziness (more of a fear of change).\n\nYou may have the power to overcome your addiction, or it may linger your entire life ... I believe it's a combination of choice - destiny - and luck.

You should be under the care of an endocrinologist who is a specialist \nin diabetes.I am surprised that you are not on a certain amount of grams of carbs per meal and snack.You should try the sugar free pies,cakes and candy if you get a taste for something sweet.They are good.But remember to count them with your carb limit.Stay away from sodas unless sugar free.You can live a long and healthy life.The key is to check your blood sugars frequently and keep your diabetes under control.Don't let it control you
