How to beat sugar cravings and food boredom

What I have to say may piss some of you off, and that’s OK. 

I hear this question a LOT. 

I asked you guys what you were struggling with & these were the biggies: What can I do to beat the sugar cravings? And the “I’m bored with my food.” 

And I get it, I’ve been there too, & I’ve also realized when I tend to crave things like this it’s because my life & body are out of balance.

⠀So here’s the thing…there’s not just 1 reason why sugar cravings take over. It really could be a number of things, but these are the ones that are worth taking a look at first:

• Under eating, over exercising, overly fasting

• Unbalanced blood sugar

• Too many processed carbs & sugar

• Malnutrition

• Too little sleep

• Not drinking enough water

• Unmanaged stress / emotional eating

• Bad habits 

⠀

When you start to become more aware & mindful about what’s causing your cravings & you start linking them to your lifestyle or daily choices, you can start to reset your body & strive for more balance in these areas, to help ease your cravings.

⠀

For me, not getting good, restful sleep is a huge trigger for cravings as well as Crohn’s flares.

Why you binge, have carb cravings, and self sabotage on weekends. What to do instead and carnivore tips

Raise your hand if weekend eating is your nemesis & you feel you just can’t shake the carb cravings🤚⁣ I understand it’s a problem at work too! Especially around the holidays.

⁣⁣

I was this person for years. “I’ll start my diet on Monday. I already ruined my day, might as well eat what I want”…sound familiar?⁣

⁣⁣

Or the, “I had a stressful week or I was good all week so I deserve this.” mentality.⁣

⁣⁣

Chasing fitness goals doesn’t mean you can’t go out & have a good time, but for many of us we’re stuck in this disordered, scarcity mindset constantly set on replay.⁣

⁣⁣

The biggest shift to make if you want to start winning your weekends & kicking your food/sugar addiction is to deal with your inner baggage & change the way you talk & think of yourself. ⁣

⁣

On carnivore especially, make sure you’re eating enough food to support optimal body function & your goals. These are called your maintenance calories. 

Hydrate, often times we’re thirsty not hungry. Take your electrolytes. Cut the artificial sweeteners.

Keep your mind busy. The answer is always walk. Boredom & stress are huge triggers to emotionally eating. 

Make sure you’re eating enough protein & fat! Not only do we need fat for healthy hormones & protein for lean muscle mass & tissue building, they help keep you satiated too.

Once you remove the carbs & sugar I promise the easier it becomes & less cravings you will have.

I’m gonna say it again…if you constantly restrict food all week & constantly tell yourself that, well, I f*ck up every weekend…guess what? You’re never gonna become the person or have the health & body your desire because you’ve told yourself you’re a f*ck up.⁣

⁣⁣

Do you really want to stay a slave to food addiction, disordered eating, & “I’ll start my diet on Monday?”⁣

⁣⁣

I get it, I did it to. But there comes a time you get fed up enough you decide to make a different choice. You’re not alone.⁣
