The first sentence most people with weight problems make is "I love sugary foods so much, I can't stop." Dealing with this sentence, which I hear from most of my clients/patients, is not as easy as it seems. Because according to research, sugar is addictive!
In a study conducted at Princeton University, mice addicted to cocaine were made to drink sugar water for 15 days. After 15 days, the mice are given two options: cocaine or sugar water. After all, 98% of mice prefer sugar water. It is observed that sugar and substance addiction have a stimulating effect on the brain and create addiction on living things.
How can we take precautions?

I do not eat anything during the day, but in the evening I have an irresistible need for dessert. In this case, if you say that you eat everything sweet without control, it means it is time to clean up your diet. If a person does not consume enough food for his body during the day, he directly attacks the energy source he can get at the end of the day to fill that gap. This situation, which is observed together with falling blood sugar, turns into carbohydrate addiction. At the end of the day, everyone needs to get enough quality carbohydrates, proteins and fat group nutrients for their body. While doing this, eating attacks are prevented by adjusting the timing correctly.

The issue of whether it is actually a matter of debate. in America and In some European countries, it is possible to see studies saying that fat, rather than sugar, is a poison and that sugar is innocent.
