SUGAR CRAVINGS | how to stop them naturally

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Happy Friday! Today we are chatting about sugar cravings and how to stop them naturally! I hope some of these resonate and are helpful. I would love to hear what tips you have found helpful in your experience as well!

[@sandyk7611]

So glad You did this today because I was a no sugar person for years and fell off the wagon due to many factors that you mentioned. Stress from needing a home and emotional sadness. My functional doctor has said that I wasn’t getting enough protein and that is an issue as you said. Homeostasis is sooo key! It can be easy (if u stay there) but I find having the right tools (kitchen necessities) around you and ability to obtain healthy food makes a big difference! Thank you again. These reminders are the things that help us to get back on track. For instance, I haven’t bought a box of cereal in years until yesterday. I saw a KZbin video with the “Dunkin” cereal and they said that it smelled like coffee beans. Next day I was in the store and grabbed a box. (Can’t have coffee due to acidity and I love it) careful everyone, of those subtle advertisements, that will get you when you’re in the store. Good luck. 🥰. Wish I could get into some type of “beat the sugar” addict group. I’m sure there are some on Facebook. Good luck all 💓

I don't care much for sweets, my down fall is salt! If I do want something sweet I usually eat a piece of fruit.

Menopause and post menopause is something I was NOT prepared for. Sleeplessness, hot flashes, irritability and apathy amidst life changes have been overwhelming. Thank you for these good tips from your video.

[@Bugg...0_o]

@Clean & Delicious Your video explains a lot. I have always had a horrible sweet tooth. Do you have any extra suggestions for someone who is unable to increase protein due to health reasons (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)? It's also the cause of constant fatigue which can't be alleviated by simple fixes (or anything tbh) I am on 7 medications that increase my appetite so my weight has become a problem. At first it wad a good thing as I was always borderline underweight before my diagnosis (constant stomach issues made me want to rarely eat) but over the years, with each new medication and having a child, I have steadily gained 70 pounds. I would love to be rid of 50. But would be satisfied with 25. I went on phenterimine and lost 20 over a year, but I couldn't maintain eating only 1200 to 1500 calories a day, so over the next year and a half i gained 35. I am unable to exercise as it releases histamine. I know you will say consult a dietician or whatever, but I live in a rural area with a lot of poverty, and so there aren't many doctors and I couldn't afford one if there were. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I’m on day 3 of no sugar. I have a brutal sugar addiction and I hit bottom a few days ago. So no sugar in my coffee and no honey in the cereal, no candy at work and no desert after dinner.

[@ingaadamyan7272]

I love how you mention that it’s ok to have a piece of chocolate to bring you back to homeostasis. I used to beat myself up for having some sugar when I felt upset but I have realized sometimes that’s just what you need to feel better at that moment until you figure out what’s bothering you! Just don’t make sugar a habit. Great video!!! Great content!!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

100% yes! And thank you - so glad you enjoyed the video.

Chocolate has magnesium in it & magnesium helps calm anxiety

[@piavannesjo5865]

​@@judyanne3563 Be careful- only dark chocolate 😁

[@patriciagaya2790]

I’ve heard that sugar cravings could also be related to dehydration. Every time I am craving sugar, I drink a big cup of water and most of the time it helps.

[@Bloodmoon24-yk]

I’m always thirsty, found out I was predietic. I’ve heard that eating a lot of salty thing helps you crave more sugar.

[@linziesantana4748]

Lack of sleep too :) because the body wants fast spike in blood sugar for energy. Sleep is so important!

[@lynnmessier8717]

Being a diabetic and having CKD was a demoralising fact when I found out,my doctor wanted me to see a diaticien(nutritionist) but frankly that didn't help much.I felt confused and hopeless so I decided that maybe on the net I would find more information and finally found your channel.I have had better advice from you than I did anyone else.I thank you from the bottom of my heart,you have given me hope and help I need to understand my body more.You are such a smart and knowledgable person and the fact is you know how to convey your knowledge so well.I have watched your videos for maybe a year or less but I don't feel confused or hopeless anymore.Keep on helping those of us who want to know.

[@ibraheemqamar8208]

1 and half teaspoon sugar is ok?

[@anna.318]

Yes so true about that point at 3:50! I always notice whenever I am sleep deprived, I have less self control and often eat something unhealthy, and you explained so well why that happens. All of the points in the video were so interesting to hear!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

I'm so glad it was helpful and that is all resonated.

[@freshandzestyfood5033]

I'm a big advocate of using local honey as many have mentioned. Instead of sugars I'll use maple syrup or honey instead (like in oatmeal). I read this tip in a magazine years ago: To reduce a chocolate craving choose a darker chocolate and start with just a square, instead of chewing it, allow the square to melt on your tongue and pool in your mouth. It gives that dopamine rush without a tonne of calories and I swear you will not want more, it satiates your chocolate and sweets craving. It really works!

Eating fruit really helps me meet my sweet tooth cravings

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Same!

[@sallyt3358]

Sugar cravings are real. I wish fruit stopped me from wanting a slice of chocolate cake but it doesn't. Sugar is put into everything that isn't whole foods in the supermarkets because it sells. In the U.K. GMO's are not allowed to be put in the food. But it's perfectly fine to do so in the U.S.A. All our groceries should be organic and we shouldn't have to spend more money to get everything organic. No wonder so many Americans are obese. Most people don't stand a chance against the "non food" sold on the shelves of almost every supermarket chain. Thank you for your video, Dani. It's very informative and educational.

[@godswordevangelism]

This definitely helped me. Lately, I've been feeling very overwhelmed with everything that I need to get done and at the same time, I've had more sugar cravings. So I need to give myself some time each day to just do something that helps me to de-stress and get to a more 'happy' place. Thanks for the info. God bless.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes! MAking some time for yourself is so important.

[@priscilla_g_]

Your videos make people feel seen and still hold people accountable for their own health. I love this approach! Very motivating and gives graces but keeps folks going.

[@sarahritter2055]

Thank you for sharing this video. I usually do fairly well with sweets three of the four weeks in a month. But "that" week, my hormones have me hunting down sugar like a wild bear. I have tried to substitute with fruit, keeping all sugar out of the house, etc, but I still crave it. I will hike in a blizzard to get a piece of chocolate. These tips are very helpful ☺

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

LOL! Girl, I know the feeling (bear in a blizzard, lol!!).

[@sarahritter2055]

[@debraspence]

OMG yes 😂

[@creativephebecooks]

This is an extremely powerful and well-thought video, Dani. I see your point on rest and fatigue together with unmet emotions. Because I do not consume refined sugars on a daily basis, when I have a sugar craving, I totally give into it in the form of chocolate chips, ice-cream or even pastry. The good thing is that I do not have sugary snacks around so I keep myself accountable.

[@biafranowandforever.7161]

Your first point is so true. I have been craving sugar so badly which is not my usual.

[@teemiller7499]

You are so right, I cut back gradually and it made it so easier to cut down sugar intake to almost none. Ty so much for info

[@meb8168]

This was great, sweet treats are my biggest cravings. Although Stevia for me has the same aftertaste, and upset stomach issues as the other artificial sweeteners. I do like pure organic honey and pure organic maple syrup. Been watching your channel for a long time! Love your views on good whole foods, and not fad diets!!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes! 100% love the focus of whole foods vs fad diets... the fad diets never worked for me,lol.

[@HealthyNaturally77]

Sometimes Stevia is cut with erythritol. It causes the cramping, probably not the Stevia.

I brush my teeth or gargle some mouthwash whenever I crave sweets. It works for me. :)

I'm so thankful I'm over the worst of my sugar cravings. I really worked on having a healthier, more balanced diet, and cut out the junk like cheap candy. I feel SO much better and I don't get energy crashes anymore

[@natjarasmussen1229]

Often sugar craving comes with stress...when I am very stressed its worse..! Relaaax😌

[@maryannyniguez514]

I used to have a really bad sweet tooth. When I would drink soda one day and then the next day I was thirsty for more soda so I would ignore the cravings by redirecting my mind to do something else like take a walk or just doing something to keep my mind off of the cravings. I don’t drink soda anymore. I tell myself that I don’t need it. I stopped eating junk food and try eating healthy options now. And I’ve lost 14 lbs. in the process. 😃 I reach for a fruit 🍎 now instead of a cookie 🍪.

I definitely need this!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

So glad to hear that!

[@chefevilee9566]

I definitely need this! I quit eating sugar for the third time four months ago. I just fell off the wagon a week ago. I just cannot go without sugar. I’ve quit so many things in my life. I just have no desire to quit sugar and coffee. I just need to be careful to only eat really high-quality things that don’t have fake sugar in them. Also just make my own homemade desserts for the most part. Then use these tips that I’m going to go listen to right now. I have learned about vegetables especially in the brassica family fighting candida. Which is the reason why I quit eating sugar. But if I would just eat more vegetables and eat less sugar I should be OK!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

It's all practice! Maybe just focus on cutting back instead of cutting it out entirely. That could help!

[@chefevilee9566]

@@CleanandDeliciousDani I think so!

[@ayezawaqas3966]

Thank you so much for this informative video. I keep losing weight and keep gaining it all back because I can't control my sugar cravings. I can't maintain it for a long time. Now I am going to follow these rules and see what happens. Being positive about it this time and relaxed.

[@hellocoffeejournals1945]

Thank you for these tips! I lost 20 pounds over the summer but some days I crave sugar really bad!!

[@BethyKable]

Good job……I lost 54 pounds last year and what keeps me motivated and/or gets me back on track when I go off is looking at my old pictures when I was 54 pounds heavier. Hard to believe it was me! It really gets me focused again and helps me ….good luck

[@christinedavis1056]

Once I started on a healthy diet plant-based / vegetarian my late-night sugar cravings diminished and I lost 7 lb.

[@lubrown763]

Very good and informative but just like any bad habit, we need to take a step forward and want to work/ break the bad habits and that first step is one of the biggest challenge. Good luck to all of us 🙂

[@monicacook886]

Love your videos Dani! Recently watching your intuitive eating series and a lot of what you said really resonated with me. Thank you for the info! What happens though if the mindful intuitive eating actually leads to weight gain instead of weight loss? Would love to hear more from you on this topic

[@dannijefferson]

Another great video, Dani! Thank you. ❤️I have a question about protein. How many grams of protein do you consume each day (on average)? Most fitness influencers would say one gram per pound of body weight, but I have always struggled to reach the numbers. Any thoughts from you on this would be truly appreciated. ❤️ Have a beautiful day! 🌻

[@926paaja]

Best advice by far.... tune out all the experts and info and focus in your own body and find what works for your body. One size does not fit all.

[@audreynicoletti7329]

There's also a lot of insulin released which puts on weight. Because your blood sugar is high. I'm diabetic chocoholic. Need to stop eating it. Need something else to eat at the end of the meal.

[@m.felton472]

All of these are true for me. Great video👍 One thing that helps me also is to eat something about every 3 hours so my blood sugar doesn’t drop. A snack like the ones you suggest in some of your videos that combine protein like peanut butter and an apple. Also reading food labels as there is so much hidden sugar in things like condiments and even yogurt.

[@Susy-gs1bx]

Wow, you are fantastic! You can really explain what happens inside me and give very practical ways to overcome eating disorders.

[@tmart566]

This was so helpful, thank you so much!! I’ve been craving gum as a way to help me curb my sugar craving, but I agree 💯 that the artificial sweeteners make me crave more so I’m going cold turkey on night time gum chewing.

I noticed that about gum too!

It's my pleasure! Thanks for sharing Tammy.

[@derekalderman3712]

One thing that really helps me with my afternoon fatigue and sugar cravings is a cup of herbal tea with a teaspoon of monkfruit and stevia mixed together. It's hydrating, relaxing, and just a little bit of sweetness to satisfy me.

[@lindaowens2024]

I’ve been trying to fast and do some level of keto but when my sugar level drops I can’t help but get into the sweets what am I doing wrong? You talk on sugar cravings was very informative and I’m going to try a few of them thank you

[@jamiebryant8788]

This was very helpful but sometimes I find that maybe where I’m from in the south we are so used to eating something sweet after we eat lunch or dinner just seems like it’s just a part of my body’s response on it I really am trying but it’s very difficult and we seem to eat bread with every meal

Hi Danni. I really needed this TFS. I looked through you playlist to see if you have other videos on sugar intake. I didn't see see it, but I know in the past I've come across videos of yours on topics like emotional eating . Can you direct me? Over many years I've had issues with being addicted to sugar. I do my best to stay away from artificial sweeteners, and use maple syrup, stivia or cane sugar (doubt if this one is a better choice), but I find it really difficult to control the cravings. It's out if control really. Please make more of these types of videos. I love your channel. Your explanation of things is really easy to absorb.

[@redoak3809]

Thank you for the video. It seems that if you reset your pallet and then you give in, you will crave the sweateners. Additionally, it seems that artificial sweeteners touching your tongue may release insulin causing insulin resistance and packing the fat into the cells and making you hungry quickly again.
