The first time I went sugar free, I went into it from hardcore crappy eating and eating sweets daily (as well as my precious Diet DP) to absolutely nothing. It was hard, but it had changed my life to be more conscious of what I was eating. This time I wasn't as addicted to things before I decided to start. When I decided to go sugar free, I had been gathering a pool of recent actions that kind of came to a big problem in my road. When I was around sugar, I would over indulge and I would do it without realizing it. For example, at a staff meeting last month there was a big tray of donut holes from a local donut shop. During the meeting I found myself going back for 1-2 more every few minutes. Before I knew it, I'm pretty sure I had 15 donut holes! No I wasn't doing this daily however I did notice it was occurring more often than it should. I decided NO MORE! I'm quitting sugar, no more cravings and I will not give in to temptations!
So here I am, DAY 10 of being sugar free and I feel fantastic. My skin is clearer, I have more energy, and I even feel healthier!
Here is what you can expect once you get through the official withdrawal of going without sugar.
Your sugar cravings will be pretty much gone! You know that 2-3 pm slump when that vending machine is calling your name and all you want is a Snickers?? I do! That isn't there anymore. You may still have a bit of an afternoon slump, but go get a hot tea or a coffee instead! Don't add sugar though!
Your headaches and exhaustion will completely go away - This is one of the worst withdrawals from quitting sugar, but just stick it out and you will feel so much better!
Your moodiness will subside. You will feel great!
You will have a more focused mental state.
Also - the benefits of going sugar free is of course the POUNDS that you will drop! You will notice your jeans fitting better and the next thing you know you'll need to go shopping!
If you think going sugar-free is for you and you'd love to finally get away from one of the most addicting substances in our lives today, let's do it together!
I am hosting a sugar-free focus group starting June 1st! You, along with a handful of other women with like goals, will fight your demon together in a month long group. Going at these things alone is the hardest thing to do, we will be doing it together! We work our way into cutting out sugar and processed foods, introduce meal prepping and some physical activity. This group is going to be amazing and change lives in so many ways! If you are interested, feel free to e-mail me.
