7 Ways to Beat your Holiday Sugar Cravings in San Francisco
I have been getting tons of questions from my clients about how to curb those sugar cravings during the Holidays! I know this can be difficult sometimes but if you following these easy steps, they will make a big difference:
1 – Brush Your Teeth or Chew Gum right after a Meal. This helps you to forget about eating something sweet to finish your meal off.
2 – Get enough sleep! When we don’t sleep enough we don’t get a good grip on what we put in our mouths and we stop caring. Sleep at least 7 hours a night.
3 – Make a deal with a friend – Promise each other that you will not eat sugar so you have a buddy to confide in. This way you can hold each other accountable.
4 – Stop drinking sweet things like sodas that are PACKED with calories. Instead, drink a glass of water. -). Re-hydrating yourself often helps you to cut out the sugar.
5- Quit Cold Turkey! My client Nancy thinks this is the best way and I have to agree. Once you fight your cravings for about 2 days, things get a lot easier. You will stop thinking of going to that snack vending machine after lunch and grabbing a candy bar or soda. Your body stops craving it so much.
6- Eat a piece of fruit instead. The sweetness from the fruit will satisfy you and being packed with fiber and other nutrients it’s good for body!
7 – Food Journal. Tracking your food intake really helps you to see exactly how much sugar you are ingesting a day. Writing things down makes it a lot easier to say no to bad foods!
I hope this helps you get through the holidays! Leave a comment to let me know!
