3 Surefire Strategies to Scare Sugar Cravings Straight!

Wish you could look at cake and not care about it? So do most people, but the problem is they don’t know how to stop sugar cravings. If sugar has you in it’s seductive snare, it’s likely you’re prone to food frenzies, food comas and an all out war of the battle of the binge.

People who crave sugar tend to associate it with a lot of guilt, shame and downright embarrassment when in reality the ones who should really be embarrassed are the food conglomerates who shove so much sugar in food nowadays your blood sugar doesn’t stand a chance unless you’re pretty keen at detecting it.

Here are some of my best real-life strategies to help you combat your cravings without leaving you feeling deprived.

1. Eat more protein. This is so overlooked and yet so simple! You want to eat clean, organic protein. Eating protein will slow the absorption of carbs in your system and keep your blood sugar stable, so never eat carbs alone – this will put a great deal of stress on your blood sugar and even tax your adrenal glands, as if they’re not under enough stress nowadays! But this is imperative.

If you’re experiencing digestive issues, you’re gonna want to make sure you optimize your digestion too because you could be eating the best diet but if you’re not digesting it, it’s garbage. Make sure you’re eating complex carbs too like whole grains, not simple, refined carbs.

2. Eat raw chocolate. I’m all about not depriving myself or denying myself so my next technique – and you’re gonna love this 1 by the way – is to eat raw chocolate! Raw chocolate is so good and so good for you and is made with natural sweeteners. It nourishes your heart because it’s high in magnesium, which most Americans are deficient in, and a magnesium deficiency is linked to diabetes, joint problems, PMS, and heart disease which is the #1 cause of death in the US.

Raw chocolate is also great for enhancing your mood! It has an array of neurotransmitters that control appetite, concentration, motivation, hormones, sleep, memory and mood. Plus it’s the highest food-based source of antioxidants on the planet! See? Controlling sugar cravings doesn’t mean life has to be bland or boring.

3. Eat breakfast. Now you’ve heard this one before but it’s an important reminder. You want to make sure you eat always breakfast. Now I want to put a different spin on this to really encourage you. One reason you may tend to not want to eat in the morning is because you’re in adrenal exhaustion. With healthy functioning adrenals your cortisol levels are higher in the morning which contributes to a lack of appetite in the morning, but adrenal exhaustion also suppresses liver function and this will in turn suppress early morning hunger.

Adrenal exhaustion is a condition brought on by stress and up to 80% of Americans have some form of it, but as far as balancing your blood sugar goes, it’s crucial to eat breakfast because it sets the tone for maintaining balance throughout the day and it’s going to replenish your stored blood sugar supply after the previous night’s energy requirements. The goal here is to keep your blood sugar stable – that’s your #1 defense against sugar cravings.

Eating sugar is like waking a sleeping giant. It’s as if you’ve awoken a beast within that seems unstoppable but I’m here to say it’s not impossible to quell your cravings and you don’t have to give up cake either! Employing these simple techniques will make a dramatic difference in the way you look, the way you feel and your overall health.
