How to Get Rid of Your Sweet Tooth For Good:
9 years ago, I use to have an INSANE sweet tooth.Because of it, my energy sucked, my digestion was terrible & I struggled to drop fat & build muscle.
Here’s the 5 step process I implemented to fix it, and get in the best shape of my life:
1. Focusing on hydration:
Being dehydrated feels similar to being hungry. So I started consistently getting 75-100oz of water per day in to avoid the constant cravings.
2: Getting to bed on time:
The longer I stayed up, the more junk I craved.
Getting poor sleep also disrupts hunger hormones & blood sugar levels. Making the cravings even stronger.
So I’ve been in bed by 9-10 pretty much ever since.
3. Undistracted Eating:
I stopped eating in the car, or while working. Started being present with the food I was consuming, and eat slower.This improved my gut health & helped me feel fuller for longer.
4. Weaning My Tastebuds off Super Sweet Foods:
I went from snack cakes to berries & honey. From cookies to granola & oats.This allowed me to still get the “sweet” taste, without the hyper-palatable processed sugars throwing off my energy.
5. Planning indulgences:
I’m not afraid of sweets by any stretch. I decided that once a week, I’d allow myself to have a slice of cheesecake, or pie, or whatever.Only rules are, only one serving size, and I have to get it out & can’t bring it home.So I usually always have dessert every Thursday date night w/ my wife.This actually makes it a lot easier to not indulge in the random cravings, knowing in a few days you’ll get to have whatever you want.
Once I got in control of my sweet tooth, it became so much easier to stay consistent in my nutrition.I had more energy to workout & hit cardio.And most importantly, I had no more masters controlling me (whatever urges you’re led by, are your masters)
This allowed me to drop 15lbs of body fat, put on 8lbs of lean muscle & improve my gut health dramatically.
And I’ve been using this same exact frame work to help all of my clients do the same.Hope this helps 🤙🏾
