In this episode I'm chatting with Nicole Ehrnrooth, who is creator, social media consultant & energy healer, about a 30 day sugar detox we did a couple of months ago. We all know processed sugar isn't healthy for us & in this episode we share our experiences with leaving it out all together, as well as our top tips for anyone wanting to either reduce their sugar eating or do a sugar detox as well.
Some of what's covered in the episode:
Common underlying reasons for eating sugar and sugar cravings that came up in our detox group - boredom, unmet emotional needs, hunger, thirst, feeling tired, feeling stressed.
Tips for dealing with sugar cravings as they arise to address the underlying need.
Why 30 days is a great amount of time leave out sugar, to change a behavioral pattern.
How to deal with other people's reactions to our sugar detox & why the month was a great practice in personal boundary setting.
How we felt after the detox - SPOILER: both of us have dramatically reduced our sugar eating, our sugar cravings have reduced & we've changed our sugar eating behavior completely!
How to recognise emotional eating vs. an actual desire for sugar.
Top tips for doing a sugar detox or reducing sugar.
