It's the Addiction

Is Your New Year's Resolution to go on a diet? Try The Plan Z Diet

Plan Z Diet





Odds are, either you, or someone you know, is planning to start a diet on January 1st.

If I tell you the odds of success are stacked against you, you might think I’m just being a cranky pessimist, but that’s just not the case. I can support my prediction with medical evidence. When you seriously cut back on sugar, your body retaliates. Take a look at these tidbits from some reliable sources in the medical community:

“High-carb foods stimulate the same reward centers [in the brain] as cocaine,” says neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain. “Furthermore, gluten and wheat-based products contain gluteomorphins, which stimulate the same brain chemicals that morphine does,” Perlmutter said.

Dr. Eric Westman, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at Duke University Medical Center adds that “sugar causes a neurochemical change that makes you want to eat more sugar.”

“Carbohydrates also increase serotonin levels, the neurotransmitter responsible for happy feelings, so we learn to eat carbs as medication for our moods,” said Natasha Turner, a naturopathic doctor in Toronto.

Finally, people who cut carbs often experience withdrawal symptoms, such as sluggishness and headaches. So who can blame people who quit a diet not long after they begin one?

I know how they feel. I’ve been there. It's why I created the Plan Z Diet in the first place.

And, why I designed the homeopathic formula that I call ZR50 Reduction formula. The ZR50 Reduction formula is designed to help with all those cravings and helps suppress the horrible feelings that come along with trying to quit sugar, artificial sweeteners and artificial flavorings. It’s not just the sugar that gives you headaches, aches and pains, the crabby feelings, and the urges to eat more sugar. Those chemicals play a part too. Good news is those sugars, artificial sweeteners and artificial flavorings are only found in processed foods. So foods like broccoli don’t contain any of that stuff. 

Proteins and fats don’t either.

If your goal for the new year is to start eating healthy, real food on January 1, that will mean you’ll dramatically cut down on sugar (which literally means cutting down on carbs), artificial sweeteners and artificial flavors.

What I describe above certainly does sound like addiction. Doesn’t it? An addict doesn’t just go cold turkey very easily. Most often they need help.

So whether you go on a diet that has you counting points, eating things shipped to you in a box, or drinking shakes from a can, the addiction withdrawal is still going to be there. Those diet methodologies do nothing to quell the cravings.

Here at the Plan Z Diet we believe in giving you the nutritional education you deserve, so I just wanted you to know what you are up against.

Cheers,
