#151 | Why We Crave Sugar During the Holidays And How to Control It {Weight Loss over 40}


Listen Later

The holidays are full of temptations, and sugar cravings can feel especially strong this time of year.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why these cravings happen and sharing 5 practical tips to help you enjoy the season without feeling controlled by sugar.

5 Tips to Break the Sugar Cycle:

  • Fuel Up with Protein & Fiber: Helps keep blood sugar stable and reduces cravings.
  • Practice Stress Relief: Techniques like deep breathing and tapping can calm the body and lower stress-driven cravings.
  • Plan Ahead: Decide in advance when you’ll indulge, helping you enjoy sweets without overdoing it.
  • Mindful Indulgence: Savor each treat slowly and guilt-free to avoid the urge to keep eating.
  • Shift the Focus: Create new holiday memories that don’t revolve around food, like games, walking, or talking.
