How to Stop Sugar Cravings!

Does this sound like you?

You’ve been crushing your workouts these last 5 days and avoiding all of those favorite high sugar snacks you love. 

You’ve been led to believe that the only way to lose weight is to give up the things you love and move more. 
I mean everyone has heard the phrase . . . 

Eat less, move more right?? 

That’s how Sally lost all her weight on IG. 

But, after day 5 of going to the gym everyday and starving yourself you find yourself with very little willpower to say no. 

Anyone can restrict themselves for 5 days.
​
After a while though you find yourself battling some intense cravings! Missing all those favorite foods you thought you had to give up in order to lose weight. So Tuesday morning when Joe brings in donuts to work and you got less than 5 hours of sleep the night before, guess what happens? 

That’s right you cave. You eat the donut and it’s the best tasting stale donut you’ve ever had. 

So that’s right, you grab another one. Maybe you stop there or maybe you walk by after another hour and grab a third. 

By lunch though you are feeling like crap. Both physically and mentally. You are having a sugar crash from the spike in blood insulin levels as well as beating yourself up for caving. 

This usually leads to 1 of 2 things. 
​
You say F it and write the whole day off and tell yourself you will start again on Monday.

OR

You scold yourself and start restricting again and punishing yourself in the gym for the “mistake”. 

Both of these lead to the exact same conclusion.

They are a never ending cycle of working your ass off to lose 10-15lbs only to gain it right back.  

What if I told you there was a better way? An easier way?

A way to curb those intense sugar cravings for good?

If you want to stop this never ending cycle for good you have to send the right signals to your body and brain.

Here are the 3 Ways I help break the Sugar Addiction Cycle for my online coaching clients.

1. Start balancing blood sugar. 

• This requires you to build structure around your meals throughout the day. By eating meals that have all 3 Macronutrients ( Protein, Fats & Carbs) you will avoid those high spikes in blood sugar which will lead to more willpower to avoid added sugar.

1. Make sure you are eating enough calories to fuel your body. 

• If you are always under-eating then your body will always be trying to trick your brain into consuming high calorie, sugary foods to sustain itself. 

1. Create a barrier. 

• Simply meaning make it harder to get these high sugar foods for yourself. Don’t keep them at home. If you want it bad enough it will force you to stop and think just how badly do I want that candy bar? More than likely most of the time you won’t want it bad enough to get out and go to the store that very minute.
