My #1 tip to reduce sugar cravings and shed some weight (video inside)

Years ago I would described myself as having a SERIOUS sweet tooth, but thankfully, I worked to overcome it.

But it wasn't easy!

It actually got worse during my perimenopausal years mostly due to hormonal changes.

While I still enjoy my occasional treats, for celebrations, holidays, or other festivities, today, I consider myself a recovering sugar addict because I am better able to manage the once-forbidden cravings.

You see, it is more than willpower or exercising control, it also involves the brain and signals that it sends to your body in response to what may be going on in your life that may affect your body.

I won't get too deep into that today as my main goal is to share a proven tip to help with cravings, especially sugar.

Certain foods in your diet can trigger sugar cravings.

One of the big culprits is inadequate protein in your diet.

You see, proteins and fats slow the release of sugar into your bloodstream.

When you don't consume enough of them, your blood sugar can fluctuate quickly leading to cravings for quick energy from sugar."

Pro tip

Increase your protein intake daily.

A few simple ways to increase your protein intake:

Add high-quality protein powder to your smoothie, tea, or latte.

Include protein in every meal.

Snack on high-protein foods.

Protein-rich foods include:

Protein Powders: They come in a variety of flavors.
Lean Meats: Chicken, turkey, lean beef, and pork.
Fish and Seafood: Salmon, tuna, shrimp, and other fish.
Eggs: Whole eggs can be made in a variety of ways.
Dairy Products: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk
Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas are great plant-based protein sources.
Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, peanuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds provide protein and healthy fats.
Quinoa: This grain is higher in protein than most other grains.
Amaranth: Another grain with a higher protein content.
Buckwheat: Often used in pancakes, buckwheat is a good protein source.

Increasing your protein intake can potentially lead to weight loss, which many women would appreciate!

In Good Health,
