"Now if I could only find something to reduce the
cravings for coffee."
Coffee cravings can be reduced by stabilizing your
blood sugar. The craving for coffee is produced by the
same dynamic as that which generates a sweet tooth:
falling blood sugar. The standard nutritional approach
is to eat every two hours. This doesn't mean a meal
every two hours, but snacks of the appropriate foods -
fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds, minimal grains (NOT
bread, pastries, donuts, etc., whole grain or not).
Protein works best to stabilize blood sugar. The
medical approach is lots of meat, but few people have
good enough digestion to handle meat all the time,
unless they already have been doing that as a
lifestyle (and not always then, either). One of the
best alternatives to meat is nutritional yeast. I have
seen excellent results with folks who work up to 3
heaping tblsp/day of nutritional yeast. I have been
recommending this to my clients for over 30 years. 80%
of my clients have told me that, within one to two
weeks after they have reached the 3 tbsp/day level,
their energy has doubled or tripled, they need less
sleep and wake up more alert, have more endurance,
better concentration, less fluctuation in moods. It is
the single most effective substance I have ever used
for stabilizing blood sugar.
You can buy it in bulk at most HF stores. Now, please
notice, I am NOT talking about brewers yeast. Brewers
yeast will give the same benefits, but it is quite
bitter. Nutritional yeast has a yeasty-nutty taste
which many folks have grown to like (I am none of
them). It can be spinkled on salads, put in stews and
soups, on pop corn (really), mashed potatoes, etc.,
but the easiest way to ingest it is to stir it into
juice. Some like fruit juice, some like V-8 type
juices, experiment. Start off with one teaspoon in 4-6
oz/juice the first day, 2 tspn the second, 1 tblspn
the third, 2 tblspns the fourth, 3 tblspns thereafter.
It has all the B-vitamins and most of the minerals. It
is the highest protein food you can eat, but it is 80%
predigested. It actually improves
digestion/regularity.
For those of you who take Concentrace, put it into the
juice you are putting yeast into and you cannot taste
the Concentrace.
If you have yeast infection, Candida, etc., I will say
this: Half of my Candida clients can eat nutritional
yeast freely, the other half can hardly look at it.
Part of the reason for this is because there are a
large number of yeast organisms that are all labeled
"Candida", and they don't all react to yeast in the
same way.
Supplements that help to stabilize blood sugar are
1,000 mcg/day of chromium (picolinate is most
effective), vanadium (trace mineral), cinnamon in
capsules - very effective. Two "00" capsules full of
cinnamon with each meal have a noticeable affect.
In the end, coffee addiction is like every addiction,
and you may need help from your Higher Power. But the
above suggestions will give you a distinct head start.
