3 Steps to Getting Rid of My Sugar Cravings

Hello Gorgeous,

I’ve been listening to a lot of you talk about sugar.

It seems to be a scourge of our times. Diabetes, heart disease, metabolic disease, dental decay, attention disorders, mood disorders—all of these are exacerbated (or even caused) by sugar.

It breaks my heart when I think of you not being able to make brownies for your kid because you finish off the pan before he or she gets even one. Not being able to ignore the candy promintely placed at a store checkout without adding a few bars to your shopping basket. Or, passing up the candy on your receptionist’s desk or at the bank teller’s window, but then thinking so obsessively about it that you end up devouring the cookies you bought for your kid’s lunch the moment you get home.

I make sugar sound like an addiction, don’t I?

That’s because it is. Researchers at Princeton University studying bingeing and dependency in rats have found that when the animals ingest large amounts of sugar, their brains undergo changes similar to the changes in the brains of people who abuse illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin.

That doesn’t mean you can’t break up with the stuff. Oh, I know plenty of you have broken up with sugar before, only to go running back to it during times of stress or loneliness. But I am here to tell you that you can ditch your love affair with sugar.

It is a multi-prong process. When I decided to break up with sugar, I started with a cleanse. This did wonders for erasing that aggressively strong biochemical sugar addiction that makes sweeteners so hard to give up.

But I learned that while ridding myself of the biochemical addiction to sugar was an essential first step, it was not the only step. Trial and error taught me that if I wanted to avoid a sugar binging relapse, I needed to create a sugar-smart maintenance plan as well as to plan for the emotional issues that often caused me to run back to the sweet stuff. I will deal with these last two pieces in a program I plan to run this spring…

…But right now, I’d like to share that important first step: A cleanse. Specifically my 7-day 2017 Deep Change Reset Cleanse starting on Friday, the 27th and going through February 4th. (The first two days are prep and shopping and mindset days; I like to ease people into things!)

This nourishing whole food and drink cleanse is made for winter cleansing and features warming, nutrient-dense foods that will help you kill the sugar cravings, flush toxins, lose weight (three to seven pounds on average), let go of the bloat that makes your face and arms and middle puffy, clear up your skin and more. (You can go here to read more about all the things a safe, nutrient-dense cleanse can do for you. Or, you can listen to the audio!)

We will be diving deep and talking A LOT about sugar during the 2017 Deep Change Reset Cleanse, so jump in with us if tackling your sugar cravings is something you vowed to work on in 2017. For an easy recipe that can also help squash cravings, go here.

Stephanie Pedersen
