Serious Sugar Problems


Question Posted Tuesday October 30 2007, 6:42 am


All of my life I would eat sugary stuff in mass quantities. Everything was fine until recently. I think that now my body is unable to control this extreme amount of sugar that has piled up inside of me because I suffer from incontinence - even if I take in small quantities of sugar.
The thing is I can't resist sugar; Like, I can finish a freezer full of icecream or a whole cake or a whole jar of jam in a few hours. This has caused me to suffer from incontinence an uncountless number of times ...I've even had public embarrasments.
So now I try to not eat any sugar for several days and then on my days off, I go overboard (on sugar) to make up for what I missed out on.
The problem is that when I don't take any sugar, I don't have any energy and wind up sleeping most of the day, unable to accomplish anything. And on the days that I do take sugar, I suffer from incontinence.
So , my questions are:

1. How do I resist sugar?

2. How do I gain energy naturally without eating sugar?

Hey, You could go for artificially sweetened things. Look out for the ingredient "aspartame". It will not contribute any calories cos it's something like a lying agent that will "trick" your taste buds into thinking that you are tasting smthing sweet, but aspartame isn't sugar so no worries there.

You can't gain energy naturally without eating sugar. Glucose is our metabolic fuel. Fats are also our metabolic fuel. But i doubt you'd wan to stock up on fats cos it's unhealthy to do so. You have to consume carbohydrates and of cos proteins and fats in the right amounts. You can't stay away from sugar. Your body needs it.

Exercise makes you more refreshed. I'm referring to light exercises such as jogging, hoola-hooping etc and not those strenous exercises such as swimming and badminton. Strenous exercises make you more tired. Each time you feel like sleeping, snack on artificially sweetened snacks, or suck on a sweet or chew a gum or drink water.

It also takes will power and determination to tell urself to keep awake without relying on sugar.

when your body becomes so used to takin in the sugar, its hard for it to stop. just like as if its hard for people to stop smoking. they have an addiction to it. thats what the smoking patches do. they help reduce the amout of nicotine you get. obviously, there isnt a patch for sugar, but you can cut down on the amount of sugar you eat each day. untill you barley eat any at all. dont completly cut sugar out of your life, cause i dont think thats to healthy. but you can not have it in so much quantities. i hope this helps some.

btw, when your body gets normal to the shedual of not having so much sugar, you should start to gain engery back. slowly but surley.
