The key to happy transition when you quit drinking alcohol depends in large measure on balancing your blood sugar levels. The refined sugar in alcohol is an addiction unto itself. Getting off of the sugar in alcohol produces many heightened withdrawal effects including: cravings for more sugar, headaches, and feelings of depression.

Fortunately with the aid of a rebalancing diet, withdrawal symptoms rarely last more than four or five days. However, every time you again consume even a little alcohol, addiction can come back in full swing.

When Looking for Sweet Foods to Relieve Your Sugar Cravings Try These Natural Alternatives:

  • Dates
  • Frozen bananas
  • Semi-moist dry fruit
  • Cooked fruit or baked goods sweetened with agave of maple syrup
  • Sweet orange vegetables like yams and carrots

Foods to Avoid When Quitting Drinking

  • Refined white sugar
  • Processed white flour
  • Foods with a high glycemic index (instant rice, baked potato, raisins)

Diet to Support Your Decision to Quit Drinking and Ease Sugar Withdrawal Symptoms

To make it easier to quit drinking and reduce the associated addiction to sugar, follow a rebalancing diet that incorporates foods low on the glycemic index and high in vitamin B, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, and ginseng.
