HEALING SUGAR ADDICTION: TIP #6

We are sailing through these tips, and #6 is near and dear to my heart: EAT RIGHT TO FEEL RIGHT!

What we eat and how we feel are intimately linked. Want to stop the crazy-making-cravings-cycle? Consuming brain-healthy foods can help us make better DECISIONS that lead us to FEEL better by helping to keep blood sugar levels stable. And when we feel better, we are more susceptible to make better choices. Around and around the cycle goes! 

How do we do it? At every single meal and snack, ask yourself, "Where is the PROTEIN?" Protein has an uncanny ability to quell sugar cravings. Where do you find it? Nuts and seeds. Beans and legumes. Animal protein (eggs, fish, Greek yogurt, poultry, red meat, etc.). Quinoa. Hemp hearts (I use them instead of protein powder in a smoothie--WAY more nutritious and nothing added!).

How else do we do it? Eat FAT. How? Salmon, walnuts, avocados, olive oil.... Drink WATER. You won't believe how a craving can disappear once we have hydrated our brains and bodies! LIMIT JUNK. Avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar-laden foods as often as possible can improve impulse-control by helping us calm the part of our brain that is driven by reward. We also change our taste buds when we eat more whole foods and fewer "food-like-products", adapting them to CRAVE more nourishing options.

I hope this tip inspires you to actively prioritize nourishment of your precious brain and body...because we only get ONE!

P.S. Want To Work With Me?

?Would you like to go deeper and begin to excavate your BEST LIFE? If you choose to join my next round of One Bite at A Time (OBAAT) ONLINE group coaching, you will not only be able to finally break free from old patterns that have kept you stuck, but you will be creating a lifestyle that you don't feel the need to escape from!

I'd love to work together, if you feel called. I am confident I am the coach to help you truly reach your health and wellness goals. Be forewarned: We go DEEP! My program is the result of over 17 years of creating a lifestyle I love and living in a body that feels like HOME. While we share recipes and meal ideas and exercise tips, the work we do gets to the ROOT CAUSE of our habits and behaviours. In this way, we don't simply take the next step, we transcend the staircase! If this sounds interesting to you, I invite you to visit the website to learn more at OBAATCoaching.com.

Remember...we get ONE body. We get ONE life. Let's make the MOST of it!

P.P.S. Oh, I almost forgot the BEST part! Once you join OBAAT ONE time, you will have LIFETIME access to not only your content (the weekly videos, homework, extras, etc.) but you'll have access to ALL future rounds of OBAAT for FREE. Some of my students have been with me for almost a year! They keep reaffirming their WHY. They keep digging deeper into old patterns. They keep learning new strategies and protocols. They connect more deeply with themselves and others. They build on exercise regimens that support their health. They cook new recipes they may not have otherwise tried. They have more fun than they have ever had in another lifestyle program. And they keep coming back to support others and to be of service. I love it. And I'd love for you to experience it, too.
