SUGAR — we hate to love it. But it’s sweet. It’s cheap. It’s addictive.😵💫
While that may be true, I promise cutting back on your sugar intake is possible! About 3 years ago I cut waaaaay back on added sugar and I’ve never looked back.
Giving it up just might change your life…here’s how to get started:
- Try to eat at a regular time everyday. Consistency creates stability and you won’t reach for sweet snackie foods when you’re hangry.
- Balance your meals. I’m talking heavy on the fats and protein — satiety, friends!
- STAY HYDRATED. Cannot emphasize this one enough. Don’t mistake sugar cravings for dehydration.
- Regular physical activity. Could be at the gym, at the park, a walk, or playing with your kids. Anything, y’all.
And finally, maybe most importantly.
- Avoid artificial sugar substitutes like Sweet N Low, Splenda, and Equal. Try swapping them for more natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar!
You can survive — and most likely with ✨thrive✨— without added sugars. Break free, friends & let me know how you’re doing in the comments!!👇🏻
