Is Sugar Your Vice?

Is sugar your vice?
Do you find that it has a hold on you and no matter what you do you can't break away from it. Does it feel like you are addicted?
I understand all of those things. Sugar is addictive. In fact, studies show that sugar is as addictive as any other drug. There is something about it that won't let us walk away.
The thing is that sugar is found in everything, from ketchup to mustard to spices and even milk. How do you get away from it? Sometimes you have to just break the chains and walk completely away for your health's sake. That's what I had to do.
I spent a lot of time searching for foods and recipes that didn't contain addictive sugar. I finally found some products that were sugar free and actually tasted good. They became my staples. I also experimented with recipes that had addictive sugar and found ways to put together foods that didn't have me missing the addictive sugar at all. It is possible for you too.
Sometimes you have to do something about the cravings in order to break away. Here are 3 things you can do today:
- Increase your fiber intake - the recommended amount for women is 25-30 grams of fiber each day.
- Check your magnesium levels - adults need 300 - 400 milligrams per day
- Increase your protein intake - try to get between 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of body weight
Just doing these three things will help get you started on decreasing those crazy cravings and painful withdrawals when you begin ending your struggle with sugar.
I'd love for you to join the Sugar Vice Webinar this afternoon at 3pm C.T. where we will talk about how I can help you end your sugar struggle once and for all.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Remember to...Take Care of You!
Do you find yourself eating for every other reason than being physically hungry? Do you find that food is the thing that gives you courage and comfort when nothing else can? The thing is, in order to change any habit, you have to be aware of what the habit is that you want to change.
Do you struggle with eating emotionally? Getting the mindset right is the hardest thing. Figuring out the why around emotional eating is key. When you have your mindset right, your food and your life will follow.
Unpacking the "layers of stuck" in your mind will set you on a path to emotional eating freedom.
This workbook will help you develop a healthier relationship with food by identifying triggers to emotional eating and help to develop healthier coping mechanisms so that you can learn to live your life with food.
