15: 3 Tips to Quitting Sugar

Let’s start with this: sugar is NOT evil. You do not need to cut it out of your life 100%. There is nothing wrong with the occasional, even regular, treat.

That said, I wanted to do this episode because I know so many women who feel that sugar has a hold over their life and their ability to consistently make healthy choices. Enter shame… Am I right???

Sugar is not a cause for shame. Let me make that very clear.

When we feel powerless about a certain food group or food habits, we tend to go into that “Good” vs “Bad” headspace around food, as discussed in Episode 3 (How To Stop Having “Bad” Food Days). I really want to empower women to break away from that.

After indulging in sugary treats, it’s easy to think you are weak or you have no will power. It’s easy to throw around the idea, “I might be a sugar addict”. The truth is you are not weak. It is not about will power. You are probably not a sugar addict.

The truth is you need some tools to learn how to better regulate your sugar intake and your sugar cravings. So, let’s talk about these tools!

Today you will learn:
