#151 | Why We Crave Sugar During the Holidays And How to Control It {Weight Loss over 40}

The holidays are full of temptations, and sugar cravings can feel especially strong this time of year.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why these cravings happen and sharing 5 practical tips to help you enjoy the season without feeling controlled by sugar.

5 Tips to Break the Sugar Cycle:

• • Fuel Up with Protein & Fiber: Helps keep blood sugar stable and reduces cravings.
  • Practice Stress Relief: Techniques like deep breathing and tapping can calm the body and lower stress-driven cravings.
  • Plan Ahead: Decide in advance when you’ll indulge, helping you enjoy sweets without overdoing it.
  • Mindful Indulgence: Savor each treat slowly and guilt-free to avoid the urge to keep eating.
  • Shift the Focus: Create new holiday memories that don’t revolve around food, like games, walking, or talking.
