I discovered my addiction to a particular food was affecting me. I simply stopped it. Stop what is killing u

Fryx:
My works require a lot of creative thinking, but for some reason, complex thoughts hurt my heads so much that by the end of the day, I am more tired than a person hewing trees in the bush.

So, about two years ago, I discovered that if I drink coke, my head does not hurt at all.

I believe my brain was able to use the "Sugar" in coke more effectively than the ones processed by my body from carbohydrates.

So, I limit my consumption of Carbs and eats more junks and cokes.

It really helped me since I can work tirelessly for long hours without my brain tiring out. But then, some of my body sensors stop working correctly.

I won't know when I am thirsty or hungry. Infact, I struggle to eat many times since I rarely have appetite for food ---I just drink sugary stuff to regain my energy.

But I have been noticing some tingling in my legs and can sometimes get worse during sleep (I can wake up in the middle of the night to see that my leg is dead)

Unknown to me, Coke produces cholesterols , and since I am an indoor person that rarely goes out or exercise, the cholesterols are clogging my veins and preventing proper flow of blood.

Although, coke produces less than other harmful junks I eat----Yogurt, buscuits, sweets, licking pure sugar, etc.

I do not mind the consumption of these junks because my blood sugar level is Ok, and I believe my brain needs them.

But about five days ago, I did some jump and hit my big toe on the floor, causing some internal sprain.

Usually, the sprain should go early, but I was surprised to wake up the third day to some excruciating pain. This mean the wound is not healing at all, and as far as I can remember, I experience some tingling in my leg during the night. So, it is likely that blood is not flowing properly to my legs again, and wound cannot heal without good supply of blood.

I decided to massage the leg, and in the process, I mistakeinly touch the toe next to my big toe (I can't recollect the name of this toe as the moment, so just take it as "the next big toe"

My "next big toe" was soooo painful to touch, and I was surprised because I never felt any pain from that area.

When I inspect it properly, I discovered my "next big toe" is dying.

There is something called Gangrene, it is the death of body tissue when blood stops flowing to that area, and in severe cases, the body area will need to be amputated.

My "next big toe" has started dying due to lack of proper blood flow to it.

Luckily for me, no other toe is affected.

I did some research and discover that bad cholesterols can block blood vessels, and since I am an heavy "Sugar" eater, I am likely surffering from that.

I decided I won't take sugar again.

I massaged my toe to life, and decided to eat healthy yesterday. I went out during the day to eat at a restaurant, and cooked at night (unlike me)

That single changed in life style really cause some changes in my body. Yesterday night, I feel many veins in my body coming to life, especially in my leg region. And by this morning, my "next big toe" is no longer grayish in color. It is not as painful to touch as it was either.

Encouraged by the improvements, I decided not to take any form of sugar again.

But there is a problem----my brain.

Without Sugar, my brain was so slow and thinking was sooo painful. I struggled to complete my task yesterday, and I have been avoiding work since morning (today) because I was just feeling pains in my head.

I don't understand it. It seems my body got issue with carbs cause even if I eat excess of it, I may feel sick. I am also slim because my body don't retain fat or carbs.

I have been struggling since morning, trying to adjust to a change in diet. But since I have works to do, I have no choice but to get another bottle of Coke.

Expectedly, my brain becomes really cool a few seconds after taking the coke.

Although, I have resolved not to take any other type of drinks or junk, to eat properly, and take Coke only "one day on, one day off." I honestly want to do without every form of sugar.

I'm afraid I'm addicted to coke, and I don't know how to overcome it.

Below is a picture of how Gangrene looks, so it's something scary.

Sorry about your experience, but only you can help your situation.
I was so addicted too until I made a decision to discipline myself because looking at myself in the mirror, I hated my obsessed tummy.
I knew I needed to snatch back my tummy.(because mine was mostly telling on my tummy) I looked pregnant, my clothes no longer fits, shape disappeared.

Since January this year I haven't tasted any fizzy drink. Just water and once in a while, if I really felt I needed something else, I would take malt. I have only taken fruit juice twice this year (which is pulpy orange ) I can tell you, the result has been amazing.

I also cut down on a lot of things, like portion of food, no more late night foods, anything after 5pm - 6pm, I don't eat again.

Before now, whenever I woke up in the morning to pee, my feet used to hurt so bad like I was stepping on pins but I no longer feel that now.
Very soon, I will start incorporating exercises.

It won't be an easy decision but trust me you can stay disciplined if you choose.
Your health is your wealth. Whenever you are tempted to take any fizzy drink, just take water.
Stay safe.

For a slim person who intend to regain back some weight, are you saying running 5km per day won't help? Cos I notice my Leanness became visible after engaging in running routine.

A slim man who wants to add weight should avoid jogging. Start lifting weights or doing bench-press instead. It will increase your appetite and make you gain muscle mass thereby increasing your weight.

I understand how much mental energy is required for creative works.

Since your body requires sugar, why not try natural sources of sugar?

Watermelon is there.

Pawpaw.

And o, this is mango season, look for good fruit sellers around and be patronizing them daily.

With this, you can overcome your coke addiction and fortunately enough, replace it with healthier and better alternatives, fruits!

Now, the one super food I'll suggest for high mental energy is

AVOCADO! 🥑

Yes, add this and brain will always be on alert!

And on a healthier side of things, consume much of alkaline rich foods than acidic foods.

Eat ogbono soup and other healthy meals.

Please research more on alkaline diet.

Thanks!!!

You can also try moringa.

If you get fresh ones from the tree, better. I suggest taking the white buds (before they turn to flower) and eating them.

Please don't kill your creativity because no coke.

Try natural healthy alternatives.

We have a similar issue but I think you should have yourself screened for diabetes

Fryx:


Thanks.

Turns out I don’t need food to keep my brain alert.

A thousand count jog every morning and twenty pressup is enough.

I use to do those exercise before, but I stopped at a time.

And instead of going back to it when I feel dull, I chose sugary drinks, and that’s what’s killing me.

A good exercise everyday is very ok. Although, I am going out everyday also to buy fruits. So, fruits and exercise should keep me alert.

Thanks.

I will also try getting that Avocado and research on Alkaline-rich diets.

Good one boss.

Please do everything possible to keep up with your creativity and while cutting out coke.

Exercise is ok o.

However, you need food to replenish lost nutrients as you exercise.

Good luck Champ!

Dude, you're practically justifying your unhealthy eating habits, anyways try to replace your need for coca cola to stay to Walnut, Kilishi, protein based or low sugar vegetable or fruits like cucumber, pearl & apples, they're are a better substitute & sustainable too to Cola, it's only a matter of time ,if your gut health gets bad you're likely to open doors to other worse symptoms like insulin resistance. Stay safe though
