Sugar Cravings-Why Your Brain Made You Do It & How to Break Free

Sugar cravings can be conquered if you "Add Before You Subtract." I explain in this week's video.

Sugar creates a change in the biochemistry of your brain. When you eat it, a "feel-good" chemical gets released into the reward center of your brain.

That reward center (a.k.a. the nucleus accumbens) has the ability to learn. It makes an association between sugar and pleasure, and before you know it, you're hooked.

But, you're not doomed.

There is a way to break free from sugar. The trick is to Add Before You Subtract.

In this video, I share the two foods that you need to add to your diet when you are subtracting sugar. These foods take the edge off of hunger and cravings so that you can move away from the strong pull of sugar.
