#5 | Struggling with Sugar Cravings? [Ditch the Sweets and Stop Stress Eating for Women over 40]

Are you struggling with craving sugar and sweets? Do you sometimes go to eat one cookie and before you know it you have eaten way more? Wondering how to not crave sugar? 

 

Well today, I’m bringing my friend Charmaine on the podcast.  She specializes in helping women control their sugar cravings. 

A couple of months she came inside my private group to share a special workshop with my clients on how to tackle their sugar cravings.  It was so good and so many people walked away with a better understanding of what was going on and some tools they could use to help with their cravings.  So I wanted her to come on the podcast and inspire you today.

 

👉If you want to hear the workshop she gave it is recorded and part of my nutrition and group health coaching course where we talk about blood sugar, hormones, sleep, nutrition and so much more than anyone who works with me gets access to.  Set up a free call and let's figure out that next step for you! https://forms.gle/L4hvjcMm1Aw4uBUa6

Topics today include:

Why do people struggle with sugar cravings?

Why do you want sugar? What is going on at the time? What emotions or thoughts are you having when you reach for sugar? What is the trigger that makes you reach for sugar?

Can people still eat sugar without going overboard? How?

Can you start to go into your body and notice when you are full and hungry?  Can you eat mindfully and really pay attention to the tastes? Can you put down your fork between bites and take a breath?

What is the one thing that can help with sugar cravings?

As humans, we have a thinking brain and we need to use it.  Planning out your meals and what you are going to eat helps to activate that part of our brain and get us out of the emotional part of the brain that grabs at whatever is near and will bring us pleasure.
