Breaking the Sugar Addiction

Do you ever feel it's impossible to break the sugar addiction?​ You stick to your clean eating for a few days then fall off due to cravings?​Especially sugar cravings😩😩😩 I want to tell you it IS possible to break this addiction, and it isn't as hard as you would think. I use to think I couldn't go a day without donuts, but I HAD to get off of eating those things daily when my health took a turn.

The 3 things, that helped me break my sugar additction:

1. Protein. Get your protein in! This helps keep your blood sugar levels in check so fewer crashes and cravings. I always recommend doing high fiber!

2. Do a gut reset. Making sure you balance out your good and bad bacteria. If you have an overgrowth of bad bacteria, you will crave more sugar making it harder to break the addiction. Making sure you have a good pre/probiotic will help.

3. Stop overdoing it with the cardio sessions! When you focus on long sessions of cardio, you actually end up craving more sugar because you are depleted. So switch it out for weight training, pilates, or yoga. These workouts will help build lean muscle mass which in turn burns more fat so no brainer.

Enjoying your sugar intake in moderation is key to your own personal journey. Following these 3 things has given me more energy, better results in the gym, and I do not crave sugar as much as I used to.
