Today we talk with Jes Patten.  Jes is a wife, mother, and account manager at a brokerage firm living outside Pittsburgh, PA.  She shares with us today about loss and using substances to cope.  A seed was planted in 2020 that made her realize both weed and alcohol were a major issue for her and she spent the remainder of that year in denial.  In 2021 she became curious about addressing this in her life but it wasn’t until November of 2021 that she had her final blackout that really scared her into making a change.  She found Reframe and had some success with both alcohol and marijuana until April 2022 on vacation when that voice came back to try it again and then the roller coaster began until in late 2022 when she renewed her commitment to being alcohol free and this year in 2023 has been successfully alcohol-free and marijuana free.

Today, we’re talking about those pesky sugar cravings. Steph is going to go over what’s happening physiologically in the body when we reduce or eliminate alcohol and how that translates to sugar cravings, as well as realistic tips for being able to enjoy your treats without feeling out of control or eating past the point of comfort.  

What causes sugar cravings (or alcohol cravings) physiologically: 

• Alcohol damages the liver and pancreas → blood sugar dysfunction → cravings
• Tendency to undereat during the day (perpetuates stress cycle + CICO)
• Sugar feedback loop + body favors protein

Tips for enjoying treats without losing control (not anti-sugar)

• Brekkie + rule of 3s
• Protein minimums 
• Majority of energy intake - breakfast + lunch, smaller dinner
• Trouble w/ IF
