3 Ways to Kick Your Sugar Cravings for Good
Struggling with Sugar Cravings?
Do you find yourself constantly craving sugar? Or maybe it’s turned into a full-blown addiction? You’ve decided enough is enough—it’s time to take control.
I see it all the time. Amazing people like you choose to cut back on sugar and focus on better health. You want to enjoy life and retirement without being weighed down by health problems or expensive insurance costs.
What does turning 65 and beyond look like for you? You can’t buy back your health, so now is the perfect time to put a plan in place.
But here’s the challenge: The moment you declare, “I’m never eating sugar again,” your brain starts obsessing over it. Suddenly, sugar is everywhere—at the supermarket, coffee shop, and even the petrol station.
How did that happen? Your brain and subconscious don’t recognize negative statements. Instead of saying “I won’t eat sugar,” try a positive approach:
- “I will eat mostly vegetables, fruit, meat, nuts, and seeds for the next 30 days.”
Now that sounds doable and empowering! With a clear focus on whole, nourishing foods, it’s time to clear out the sugar-loaded foods from your home. That includes lollies, chocolate, soft drinks, alcohol, and refined grains like bread and pasta.
Now, let’s dive into three powerful ways to end sugar cravings for good.
1. Reset Your Sweet Tooth
If you’ve been eating too much sugar, your gut bacteria are likely out of balance. The bad bacteria thrive on sugar, making cravings stronger. But the good news? You can reset your taste buds!
- Start by swapping sugary treats for healthier options. Instead of milk chocolate, try a raw cacao mousse. Replace toast with a green smoothie.
- With every smart choice, your body will adjust. Over time, you’ll be shocked at how sweet your old favorites taste.
- Need extra support? A 30-day gut reset program can make the transition easier. I offer one-on-one sessions (in-clinic or via Skype) or group programs for a more affordable option.
2. Nurture Your Gut Health
Once you reset your gut, it’s essential to keep it balanced. Here’s how:
- Minimize processed foods – Whole foods keep cravings at bay.
- Limit antibiotic use – Stay healthy to avoid medications that harm gut bacteria.
- Get outside daily – Being in nature (green spaces) and near water (blue spaces) helps diversify your microbiome.
Your gut health plays a massive role in controlling sugar cravings, so protect it!
3. Make Yourself Sugar-Craving Proof
Low energy is one of the biggest reasons we reach for sugar. When you’re tired, your body craves a quick energy fix—and sugar is an easy target.
- Instead of sugar and caffeine, focus on fixing the root cause of low energy.
- Common culprits include poor sleep, food intolerances, adrenal fatigue, medication side effects, thyroid issues, and hormone imbalances.
- I specialize in getting to the root of what’s draining your energy and providing long-term solutions.
