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
