Well, that is possible with the 10-day detox diet. Would you like to know more? Keep reading.

The 10-Day Detox Diet:

The 10-day detox diet, designed by Dr. Mark Hyman, aims at making you free from the addiction of sugar (1). Health experts have been constantly warning us about the harmful side effects of sugar. It is not the couple of teaspoons that you regularly stir in your morning tea or coffee, but the sweetened additives that are present in the processed and refined food items.

Although these foods fall into the category of low-fat or healthy food options, these are the main carriers of the highly refined sugar and the main culprits behind addiction. You name any processed food item, including tomato sauce to cereal, and you will find all of them loaded with refined sugar or its substitutes.

Facts About Refined Sugar And Flour:

Dr. Hyman has been researching the effects of sugary stuff in the human systems for the last 20 years, and his studies on animals have revealed that sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine (2). All the research matter is available in a compiled book ‘The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet”. According to Hyman, sugar acts as nicotine and is a type of new fat. However, fat is not addictive as sugar. Moreover, he believes that sugar is the main cause of obesity and diabetes.

According to him, sugar and the refined flour present in the processed foods are the main reason everyone is hooked to these kinds of foods that trigger off more cravings for junk food. It is impossible for people to manage their behaviour because eating such processed foods that are high in refined sugar have initiated a condition in their system that drives the neurotransmitters and hormones to ask for more sugar and junk food. According to him, everyone is consuming around 152 pounds of sugar and 146 pounds of flour every year, which is shockingly high.

It is the reason people cannot lose weight even after dumping fats and carbohydrates and exercising crazily. The white powders are deadly and are absorbed quickly into the bodies. The carbs and sugar are stored to provide you energy during the starvation period (3). It leads to a rise in the insulin levels, causing a domino effect that reflects in the form of belly fat, heart disease, lowering of good cholesterol and a reduction in hormone levels. These conditions in turn can affect your sex drive, flare acnes, cause depression and skin problems, thus depriving you of a quality life.

10-Day Detox Diet Breaks The Cycle Of Addiction:

The Hayman 10-day detox diet is aimed at helping people break the food addiction cycle. It does so by eliminating sugar, processed foods, flour, and products filled with chemicals and additives and inflammatory food products such as dairy and gluten that can be allergic. This medical detox takes a bit longer than regular detox sessions.

The diet intends to bring you back to the normal physiological state, and the foods are used as medicines for carrying out the detox diet program and providing you relief from the addictive substances and food addictions. The diet includes high-fiber, low-sugar, and low-starch and whole food meal apart from vitamin supplements, meditation and regular exercise. The whole package ensures a break on the mindless eating habit putting an end to nonstop cravings towards junk food. The prescription is based on hundreds of tests that Hayman has carried out successfully and helps you to lose 8 pounds and 2 inches approximately. It also lowers blood sugar levels and blood pressure.

More importantly, the overall toxicity in the body also comes down considerably making you feel energetic. It improves your mood, clears your skin, improves digestion, and resolves the problem of sleeplessness. Thus, eating real food can help you get better health in just ten days, and you can feel the results.

How To Follow The 10-Day Detox Diet?

• Dump anything that does not come under the real food category in the dustbin. This includes processed foods that are packaged in bottles, boxes or plastics, unless they include some real food ingredients such as canned tomatoes with salt and water.
• You can recognize the unreal food by checking its ingredients. If the packaging mentions more than 4 or 5 ingredients, then you just don’t need it.
• Clear your kitchen of any drink or food that is loaded with sugar, including maple syrup, artificial sweeteners, honey, agave and molasses.
• While buying any product, especially sauces and dressings, check the labels indicating the presence of trans fats or high-fructose corn syrup. These are not the real foods.
• If you think that diet sodas and sports drinks are good for health, you are wrong (4). Any type of sweetened drink, including diet sodas, juice and regular sodas should be dumped in the drain as these contain a surprisingly high amount of sugar – around 15 to 20 teaspoons of it.
• Throw out anything that is cooked in refined vegetable or hydrogenated oils such as soybean and corn.
• Banish the grains, dairy products and gluten from your kitchen shelf that are known to cause common health troubles such as migraines, joint pain, sleep problems, inflammation and mood swings.

Some of these foods are okay and can be included in the daily diet in a small amount, but for the sake of detox, you will need to take a break of 10 days and strictly follow the high fiber, low-fat routine. For better success, ensure that you also meditate and exercise regularly, as during the detox process your mind tends to be a bit unstable. The sudden elimination of a lot of your favourite foods from the diet can disturb your mind and body. Exercise and meditation help you to stick to your new form of diet and continue with more confidence.

The results of this diet may vary depending upon several factors such as age, health conditions and so on. Whether you will lose weight or not entirely depends upon your type of metabolism, such as adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, and gonadal.
