We have been talking about SUGAR CRAVINGS this past week in my free Hormone Health for Women group and there was a lot of response to those who felt they suffer from “sugar addictions.” 
Because as we all know, if we crave something, it almost always contains some form of sugar. 
And as the holiday’s fast approach and all the goodies start being delivered to your home and your work, you may be struggling with just HOW to deal with those cravings!
So I thought it might be a good idea to post some ideas that will not only HELP you fend off those cravings but also keep you from gaining those extra pounds that come along with consuming them. 
1. RE-GIFT the goodies! Bring them to work and leave for others. Keeping them out of your house is the BEST way to keep away from them.
2. EAT before going to any gatherings where you know there will temptations! If you are full, you are less likely to dip into the cookie plate!
3. Feed those sugar cravings with HEALTHY options. Berries, slivered almonds and whipping cream. Greek yogurt and berries. Apples and almond butter.
4. Make sure to eat lots of PROTEIN, FIBER, FAT and WATER throughout the day.
(This is one thing we are focusing on in the 21 Day Beat the Holiday Bulge Program!) Lots of chicken, turkey, fish, green fibrous veggies, and 1/2 your weight in oz of water!
5. PLAN for what cravings to give into. That may sound silly, but I am sure you have had something at one time or another that after you ate it, you were like, “that was so not worth the calories!”
So yes, plan what you want to have and when. And then enjoy it and move on. 
Remember, this doesn’t have to be something you ONLY do around the holidays, it can be done every day!
One of the best ways to drop body fat is to cut out sugar! So, let’s see if you can make this a daily habit. 
Have you found ways to curb your sugar cravings? OR found alternatives to those sugar cravings?
If so, please share!
