6:28 How to quit sugar and junk food
My entire childhood was filled with sugar, starch, seed oils, sweetened cereals, candy, soda, TV dinners, and more. As I got older, I’d graze after dinner until bedtime every single night. I consumed junk food and refined foods in the military while my life was high in stress and low in sleep. In college, I dealt with more stress, drank lots of coffee, and ate more junk food.
Side effects of my unhealthy diet included:
• Ulcers
• Liver and gallbladder problems
• Referred pain in the right shoulder
• Restless legs syndrome
• Nervousness
• Insomnia
• Dry eyes
• Severe arthritis
• Kidney stones
I weighed 211 pounds, but the food I was eating was not satisfying!
Refined carbs and sugar stimulate dopamine, which is not a pleasure neurotransmitter. Dopamine is an anticipatory neurotransmitter. The more you have, the more your body wants. If you eat too much junk food, you can develop dopamine resistance. This is what drives addiction, and why ultra-processed foods may satisfy you initially, but leave you feeling hungry an hour later. This is called dopamine hunger!
You’re not struggling with your diet because of a lack of willpower; it’s your environment. The modern world is engineered with so many things to keep us hooked and addicted. Removing the triggers is the only solution!
Ditch your unhealthy diet by focusing on your environment first. Try these steps:
1. Get rid of ultra-processed foods: seed oils, starches, and sugar.
2. No snacking, especially at night.
3. No visible food.
4. Find healthy substitutes for junk food.
5. No blue light at night.
6. Never go to the grocery store hungry or without a list.
7. Preserve your sleep.
8. Be careful with social events.
