STOP YOUR SUGAR CRAVINGS AFTER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
You’ve been good all year and the holiday season is when you can let loose! After all, the temptations are almost impossible to avoid: Christmas parties, office treats, gingerbread, eggnog, pumpkin pie… all the goodies!
But what happens when the holiday season is over?
For many people, switching back to their pre-Christmas diet might not come so easily. After a few weeks of indulgence, they find themselves craving sugar more than ever. This is partly because sugar triggers the reward centers of the brain, stimulating the release of dopamine and serotonin. These ‘feel-good’ chemicals are actually quite addictive. In other words, sugar makes us happy – and we want it more and more.
To get back to eating healthily, we first have to curb those sugar cravings. Here’s
how.
DRINK MORE WATER
Dehydration is one of the most common triggers for sugar cravings. It’s easy to mistake thirst for hunger. Your body needs water to metabolize the glycogen for energy, so if you’re low on fluids, your brain tells you to look for a sugarloaded snack to supply energy instead.
In almost every case, you can get around the sugar craving by drinking a glass of clean, filtered water. Aim for at least two liters of water per day.
CUT BACK ON THE CARBS
Simple carbohydrates such as white bread, pasta, candy, and soft drinks are quickly broken down into glucose, which provides your body with a source of energy. But that energy is used up very quickly, and you’re back to craving sugar.
Protein, fat, and fiber provide much more sustainable sources of energy and help keep your blood sugar balanced. Include lean protein at every meal, and choose healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, olive oil, and fatty fish. Keep simple carbs to a minimum. Start the day with slow-burning, fiber-rich foods such as flaxseed, oatmeal, wholemeal bread, fruits, and vegetables to keep yourself satiated.
CUT BACK ON THE CARBS
An imbalance of beneficial gut bacteria can create prime conditions for fungal overgrowth. Sugar is a source of fuel for pathogenic yeasts and bacteria, so the more sugar available, the faster these harmful bacteria will grow.Probiotics can enhance your gut microbiome by providing beneficial species of bacteria to the intestinal tract. This is essential for countering pathogenic species which can not only upset appetite signals but increase inflammation and and susceptibility to infection
KEEP YOUR BLOOD SUGAR BALANCED
Chromium is one of the most effective minerals for keeping blood sugar levels steady. It enables insulin to function properly and aids the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Studies show that chromium supplementation increases insulin sensitivity.
Cinnamon is also powerful for managing blood sugar: it’s been shown to significantly decrease blood glucose and can help to prevent and alleviate glucose intolerance.
SB Pro contains both Chromium and Cinnamon along with a unique combination of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to support the liver and pancreas in stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Bitter melon is also an effective hypoglycemic agent that has been used to treat patients with diabetes.
RESTORE YOUR MINERAL STATUS
Imbalances in calcium, zinc, chromium, and magnesium can trigger sugar cravings. These valuable minerals are required for hundreds of processes in your body, from carbohydrate metabolism to producing and regulating hormones. They also help maintain hydration status, and can trigger hunger pangs if you aren’t properly hydrated. Trace minerals are essential for moving glucose into the cell.
META Pro contains potassium which is often low in the Western diet, and deficiency has been linked to reduced insulin and higher blood sugar levels. Supplementing with potassium has been shown to help reduce BMI and improve weight loss. META Pro also contains the herb Centella asiatica which helps to reduce blood sugar by binding to glucose.
SUPPORT NATURAL ENERGY PRODUCTION
B vitamins help your body break down glucose (blood sugar) and create energy in the form of ATP molecules. Each of the B vitamins is involved in the absolutely essential catabolic process of generating energy within cells, and deficiency in any one B vitamin can be severely detrimental to this system.
When your body is supplied with adequate B vitamins, energy production is optimized and your brain no longer needs to demand sugar.
B vitamins also support the nervous system and help regulate the stress response, which can circumvent sugar cravings.
