I used to be the type of person who would promise that I wouldnโt eat a cookie (or even touch or smell one) until I lose 10 pounds. But, when my cravings would strike, I wouldnโt be able to control myself going to my pantry and taking a cookie or walking into my break room to break off half a donut.
Then, it was a downhill. There was no stopping me. Since I already went against my plan a little bit, itโs like I opened the floodgates! A few minutes later, I would get another cookie or donut, and that night for dinner I may even say, โJust forget about this!โ and order a pizza!
I would think, โI already messed up, and itโs torturing anyway, so who cares?โ
You know the number of time I did is, itโs like I made a history in giving in to my sugar cravings and probably should get an award.
Or maybe youโre running the same marathon of making BIG BOLD plans about losing weight but eventually yielding to the desires close to your heart (cupcakes anyone?)
Have you ever felt that no matter how bad you want it, and how hard you try, you just canโt follow through your plan of NOT eating sugar crammed foods and shed those extra (evilly dangerous) pounds?
Yeah, thatโs what I thought.
But donโt blame yourself for it. Seriously, donโt.
Because thereโs actually a scientific reason for this that no one talks about. As I said in my last email as well, the weight-loss โexpertsโ and โgurusโ keep telling you NOT to eat sugar, but they donโt tell you WHY? And WHAT to eat instead (that isnโt boring and doesnโt leave you wanting for more).
Today, Iโm gonna blow the myth out of the water and tell you exactly whatโs up with all these uninvited sugar cravings and WHY you just canโt have only one cookie and be done with it.

Now that youโve watched the video and know the actual reason behind your sugar cravings, here are few tips for you to STOP your cravings (in a gentle way) and lose weight quickly.
5 Tips to Stop Craving Sugar and Lose Weight Quickly:
- Eat lots of high-fiber foods (vegetables, lentils, beans) and low-fat protein sources (eggs, fish, 90% lean beef, chicken breast, etc.)
- Use spices to make your food taste delicious and exciting (Yes! You can do that. No need to go all flavorless even if you wanna lose weight)
- Limit potatoes, rice and bread (white and brown) to small side dishes or eliminate completely
- Do not drink calories since they are usually high-sugar
- Ask yourself why you are craving sugar. What is that you really want (e.g., comfort, excitement)?
And hereโs a list of healthy yet extremely delicious snacks that you can enjoy- all while losing that muffin top.
6 Low-sugar Snacks:
- Celery and/or Bell Pepper strips with 2 tablespoons of peanut or almond butter, hummus, or guacamole
- 6 oz. Nonfat Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or ground flaxseed
