Biscuit addiction has killed me

I guess sugary biscuit? I was once like you, with craving for sweets too. Imagine leaving my house just to go buy sweet and lick. I think it has to do with your eating habits while growing up. Some parents always created 'snacks time' alongside the normal 3 square meal.
My advice.. start eating crackers. That yellow tasteless one. make that the only biscuit you eat, then you'd gradually lose the addiction. Again if aboki stall dey front of your house pack comot

DarkJeddi:
Her body needs carbohydrates..

Not sugar..

They are not one and the same

Bros, sugar and carbohydrates are the same thing.

The carbohydrate we take are still sugar, that's what they are called.

The sugar people call sugar is actually sucrose. Not all sugars are sweet to the tongue but all na still same thing.

Too much of carbohydrates (sugar) is bad in any form, whether through sugar (sucrose), starch, glucose or any other form.

5 bottles a day!!!! And you are still alive....thank God.

culf:
but your body need sugar too? that means you don't usually take bitter stuffs nor do rigorous activities?

Congrats though, its not easy.

All your rice, eba, fufu etc already contain more than enough sugar needed by the body. Why add artificial Sugar to your struggles

what do really need a 600k bottle of wine for

There is nothing special about champagne, people pay for the brand not the substance.

CandyOps:


So if them ask you "what are the sources of sugar (or glucose) to the body?" you go talk mineral abi?

Epic.

NovesaTillie:
Hurray
I think it's worth celebrating my one year anniversary away from taking soft drinks and any kind of Sugary drinks especially because I was so addicted to the extent of drinking 5 bottles of soft drink everyday. It started like a movie and before I knew it, one plastic bottle of soft drink couldn't satisfy me anymore.

From substituting water with soft drink especially during the lock down whenever I had my meal or felt dehydrated to just drinking it for fun and I loved it chilled.
Each time I finished drinking it there was this burst of energy and happiness that follows .
I remember a particular weekend when I didn't have any cash on me I begged the neighborhood store to give me a pack of Coca-Cola drink to take me for the weekend till workday before I paid for it.

Then towards the last quarter of the year last year, I started noticing how yellowish my urine became and it dawned on me that I needed to cut down on the intake and so my journey began. It was a tough one because I was already used to taking 5-6 pet bottles daily. But I started by reducing by 1 bottle each week and replacing it with water. By December last year I firmly decided to put an end to what had become my addiction.
Now here I am today, healthier and happier.
No matter how chilled or iced, so far it's soft drink I won't take it. Even at work, when lunch is served I always consciously change my drink for water.
Then at home, whenever the urge came I replaced it with taking fresh fruits juices and smoothies which I make myself..

Who be the person for ur profile pic?

I am observing you profile picture

WibusJaga:


Well, there's really no addictive substance in soft drinks so it's much easier to quit if you decide to, unlike cigarettes & alcohol.

This statement is not true. Soft drinks contain sugar which is one of the most addictive substances in this world.

Hmmmmm, beware of your high sugar level.

All sugars are sweet..

When you hear sugars..

It means MONOSACHARIDES AND DIASACHARIDES..

Which includes sucrose,fructose,maltose,galactose,glucose,lactose etc

All bar non,are sweet...

All sugars are carbohydrates..

But not all carbohydrates are sugars ..

Why?

Because carbohydrates comes in THREE FORMS..

Monosacharides ,diasacharides and POLYSACCHARIDES..

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates..

BUT they are NOT sugars..

And yeah..

Too much of everything is bad..

But too much SUGARS are worse than too much polysaccharides..

In the context of nutrition..

Which is the topic of the discussion..

The distinction between simple sugars and polysaccharides is more than academic..
