Sugar detox: supplement plan

Been off my eating program for a week now. boo. bad me. Amazing how being hurt and not working out made me feel crappy. So I turned to my friend sugar to make me feel better. Going back to the gym Monday morning so need to detox the sugar I've been in taking!

If you have a serious craving for sugar you may have to support your body with nutritional supplements to restore the nutrients that you are lacking. The B vitamins, chromium, zinc and Vitamin C can help with sugar withdrawal symptoms. L-glutamine, an amino acid can help reduce sugar cravings.  Try 500mg 30 minutes before meals 3 times a day. Increase dose to 1000mg three times a day if you still get cravings after 1 week. Combine with  Chromium 200 mcg three times a day with meals.
Following this sugar detox plan will help you will break any sugar addiction and consume much less of it. As a result you should have more energy, lose weight more easily and improve your health

So,
L-glutamine - in my pre-workout mix
2x multivitamin  - optimum nutrition - opti men
Chromium 200 mcg with lunch and dinner
L-glutamine - 50mg before lunch and dinner

two weeks program to detox with no processed sugar and few fruits and lots of vegetables, and meat (lean and fatty)
