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!
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 UA-cam 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.
@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’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.

I think you're on to something important.
I’m always thirsty, found out I was predietic. I’ve heard that eating a lot of salty thing helps you crave more sugar.
Lack of sleep too :) because the body wants fast spike in blood sugar for energy. Sleep is so important!
1. Avoid excess artificial sugars, switch over to honey, maple syrup or stevia
2. Rest, nap, meditation, take a walk
3. Est naturally sweet fruits
4. Get the right levels of proteins
5. Take care of your emotional state
Your body still recognizes those as sweet. It can't tell the difference.
Despite the summary, trust me, you need to watch the entire video.
I would just change meditation with reading the Bible. Just a tip when I crave something sweet after a meal, I eat some grapes and I’m fine. This could differ from person to person. God bless you my friends. In Jesus’ name.
@@stoner_vinny
Grapes are very high in fructose. Not a very helpful strategy.
I totally agree with replacing meditation with a Bible reading. What better way to replenish energy than to spend time with the Creator.
@@lexi-lee what do you recommend instead of grapes?
The sugar craving always start with emotions :-(
I noticed if I am feeling depressed or unloved or just plain old sad, I will reach for CHOCOLATE! I have really worked at allowing myself say, no more than 3 small pieces of chocolate when I am unhappy. And I also try and remember all the things I am really GRATEFUL for. If I am really moody, I will begin by wiggling my toes (which usually makes me smile since I have started at the "bottom") and it is silly to be grateful for wiggling my toes, then I try to recap all the beautiful things in my day. Gratitude is grace!!!
Md too
Chocolate has magnesium in it & magnesium helps calm anxiety
Coming from a beekeeper, get local honey. A lot of store bought honey is from overseas or a long distance away. It's also been pasteurized, which takes all the beneficial stuff and cooks it away. Stay local. Eat local. 🐝🌻
I definitely support eating local as much as possible. However, for anyone reading without access to local honey there are a couple of companies that have raw, unpasteurized honey. Nature Nate's has raw, unpasteurized honey available in both organic and non-organic. I've ordered theirs from Sam's Club and Kroger before during quarantine or winter time when our market's closed. We prefer to shop with our local beekeepers at the farmer's market. There are three keepers who sell honey along with other produce, baked goods, and spreads. Local is the best and the freshest!
Honey causes a large amount of cravings in me and I hate the taste of honey.
@@DD-ee2nv that is the first time I've heard someone say they hate the taste of honey. Everyone has different taste buds I guess.
Yep raw honey has enzymes good for you honey comb great to chew on...especially if your losing eyebrows or lashes its freaky it helps stop oxidative stress.
@@benca6151 love the taste also real maple syrup in the whiskey jug soooo yummy also has good health benefits honey turns to glycogen in your body if you let it melt in your mouth slowly with plain yogurt good for wasted muscles when working out a lot
😁
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.
I had a blood test and found out I didn't have enough protein. As soon as I increased my protein my sugar cravings went away almost completely. It blew my mind. This video is spot on
Lack of protein has always been my issue.
Sweet for me is an addiction for me. Once is never enough. It’s like a bottomless pit. And hard to climb out.
Me too . If I eat a piece of cake , I’m eating cake 2x a day till it’s gone
@@nan5819 Yes I'm the same way. I hate it!!!
Perfect timing for this video!! Sugar is my go to whether I'm happy or sad. Lord give me the will power to cut back😫
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!!!
100% yes! And thank you - so glad you enjoyed the video.

@@judyanne3563
Be careful- only dark chocolate 😁
Fruit is my sugar. Dark chocolate with shredded coconut and cashews is my favorite treat.
Eating fruit really helps me meet my sweet tooth cravings
Same!
Wow! This was so spot on. Working through a sugar addiction and I always ignore my tiredness and push through. I say no to hanging out with friends all the time because I’m scared or want to get more things done and end up very lonely, and eat to comfort myself. You hit the nail on the head.
Stress brings on sugar cravings, my husband always tells me to take a deep breath and I always feel better and cravings stop!!
This is how almonds work for kids:

Sweet husband, listen to him 👍 😁.
You're lucky to have a husband! If I did, HE would satisfy my sweet tooth! (Did I say that out loud? Sorry! NOT sorry! 💕)
Whenever i go early to bed hat is by 10pm and have a sound sleep my sugar carvings were nil or almost minimal the following day. Therefore I would conclude by saying sleep patterns and time of sleep also play a vital role in sugar cravings.
yes because your body is still tired and so seeks energy (sugar, carbs) to get a quick return to 'homeostasis."
👏
I found that drinking water and having a sugar free gum when I feel sugar cravings haas helped me alot (:
All gum has aspartame, it’s an artificial sweetener. I have yet to find any gum without it !

I just eat more protein when I'm craving anything takes care of that.😁
@Sam Fisher thankyou totally agree have more protein that's all that works.
This video came at the perfect time. I have been having intense sugar cravings, and now I realize that I need to eat more protein. Thank you for this video!
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.
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!
I'm so glad it was helpful and that is all resonated.
You explain a number of quite complex concepts really clearly. Thank you so much for this video. It's even better than usual!
Why thank you! So glad it was helpful.
@@CleanandDeliciousDani i have cravings for deserts like choc cakes cheese cakes and puddings. I now use stevia and erythritol in all my deserts and managing my sugar cravings well. Thank you for your ideas. God bless
tips that have helped me personally:
1. eat a complete meal with PROTEIN!!!
2. when you get the craving, drink water
3. drink hot coffee or tea (preferably no sugar added)
4. be mindful (maybe write down how you feel, bc a lot of times is just anxiety 😬)
5. find something to do maybe you are just bored.
6. go for a walk
7. if the cravings are REALLY BAD. eat a fruit rich in fiber, such as pear, apples or berries.
8. dark chocolate (70 or 80% cacao)
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!

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.
1 and half teaspoon sugar is ok?
She said that artificial sweetners make us crave more than regular sugar. I BELIEVE IT!!!! In fact, I noticed a few months ago during my own diet. I recentlly had that artificial crap again, knowing better. So I'm currently battling the cravings. So I'm gathering form your video that I just need to slowly wean myself from it.
I've struggled and conquered drug addiction in my life. I've also love sweets all my life. I realize now that sugar is a true addiction. It is no joke. The mad intense cravings i have for sugar are pretty much the same that i had for drugs. What really helps me is to wait out the cravings. It will usually pass in 30 minutes. Or Eat some nuts. Or have a piece of fruit. At least fruit provides fiber, vitamins, minerals, and water. It also gives ur stomach a feeling of fullness. If im craving chocolate, i take a swig of a chocolate protein drink. I don't drink the whole bottle but rather maybe 2 tablespoons worth. It gives me the chocolate flavor to satiate my craving.
P.S. Love your videos!
I’m currently trying to lose 60ish lbs, and sugar cravings are my main downfall. I’m gonna probably track progress here weekly using your tips :)
I really needed to hear this but my problem is I hate to cook, just want to heat and eat something.
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.
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.
Yes! MAking some time for yourself is so important.
I started making muffins using Greek yogurt, honey and whole wheat flour as a base... It works great when adding blueberries, walnuts and spices to fulfill the major sugar cravings. Other times a good cup of brewed herbal fruit tea. 😊. Thank you for the helpful tips, Dani!
That sounds great and I agree about the tea! Tea can really hit the spot ;)
Dear, do you have a receipy?
Muffins are high in carbs and sugar.
I brush my teeth or gargle some mouthwash whenever I crave sweets. It works for me. :)
I'm going to try this
This is your first video I watch and I LOVE how you explained everything. I eat a ton of sugar and have been wanting to make a change so understanding this helps a lot. Thank you!!
Welcome! And I am so glad to hear that it was helpful.
Your first point is so true. I have been craving sugar so badly which is not my usual.
Thank you so much for this video ♥️ Everyone need to watch this!
This was such a great and helpful video! It definitely helped me to understand my sugar cravings better and a few ways to try to take care of those sugar cravings. Thank you!
For me, controlling my cravings was going Keto for a short time until I felt like I could eat a healthy amount of pasta or carbs without issues. Then I slowly replaced everything with whole grains and fruits. Now I so rarely have a craving for any sweets that when I do get one, I just go buy a small ice cream or my favorite pastry.

Wow, this was so informative and helpful! Thank you so much ❤️
Great advice Dani, I have signed up to the wait list for The Don't Diet....keep doing what you are doing, brilliant work..
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
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.
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
Wonderfully simple and concise video with great new points and good reminders! Thanks sm❤️
Your channel is so inspiring to me! Thank you for this great content! 😍
This is an incredibly helpful post - thank you so much. I love the information about feeling contracted and the body looking for something expansive. Lots to think about there!
Our kia hall ha
You’re so nice to listen to Dani. I’m healthy and eat very clean but when my brain wants to trick me into sugar I put a dash of cinnamon on my tongue. It works every time. A cinnamon stick in a cup of green tea is also great.
Hello from Washington state! I just started my clean eating journey ! I’m already 3 weeks in! So far I’ve lost 6 pounds just by watching what I eat and eliminating processed foods! I feel great and Im loving this new lifestyle! Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge ! It’s been all so inspirational to me!
That's amazing!
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 ☺
LOL! Girl, I know the feeling (bear in a blizzard, lol!!).
@@CleanandDeliciousDani 🐾⛄😆
OMG yes 😂
Just ate a big piece of cake and this showed up😁🙏
Lol, isn't that just the way it goes ;)
🤣🤣
Dani, thank you a lot for the video, your tips are gold, really. I am having sugar craving, and I always feel bad when it happens. Your video made me realize that my problem is a combination of fatigue and unbalanced emotions.
Sending my gratitude from Brazil.
Excellent advice! Very practical and achievable 👍🏾
Thank you! This was a lot of good information.
Thank you for making this informative video! I really love the last point of the body as a pendulum & trying to maintain the balance. I’m always craving for a midnight snack like chocolate. It’s like something to de-stress & unwind myself after a day of work. So I really like your tips about cutting back the sugar intake.
Fantastic post! I finally understand why I crave sugar when upset! Your channel is fantastic!
I love all your information. Thank you.
Often sugar craving comes with stress...when I am very stressed its worse..! Relaaax😌
I love this video
So clear and so to the point !
Ur so knowledgeable. Love ur channel
This is so helpful! Thank you
When I was going through menopause, I think I ate ten thousand pounds of peanut M&M’s. Haven’t had a period in eight years, or a sugar craving. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Thank you. This is really helpful. I'm gonna try it.
So glad I found your channel, always so helpful. Prince Edward Island, Canada
Great explanation and practical ways to ease sugar cravings. I have been using your oatmeal apple protein muffins to address the sugar cravings and they are a big help.
A clear intelligent explanation. This is so needed
Thanks.

Thank you for explaining this so clearly!
It's my pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful.
Wow, you are fantastic! You can really explain what happens inside me and give very practical ways to overcome eating disorders.
This was very helpful! I'm new to using stevia and I'm glad to know that there's more natural sugar options for me that is still Low GI.
Thank you, very informative
The point about you being stressed or off balance is so true. I'd recommend journalling or meditation as a great way to deal with that issue instead of turning to sugar.
Thanks Dani your videos are always so helpful! 😁👍❤️
It's my pleasure! So glad they are helpful.
Really do love your show. Make your recipes all the time
Yes, for me all about emotion but I always have to do a very restrictive diet or i'll end up going off the deep end worse than before! I have been meal planning daily for awhile and have lost 17 pounds and I was glad you mentioned stevia because that has gotten me through. I like to eat stoneyfield with sweetener and fresh fruit mixed altogether. I get a slump in the afternoon and think my blood sugar has plummeted. I'm excited to do the class 😊💙
I have been completely abstinent from white refined sugar - including pasta, cakes, pies, ice cream etc for over 20 years through Overeaters Anonymous. I am deeply grateful to be free of sugar and I do not ever use honey or maple syrup. I will use NOW Stevia from time to time. Stevia is a pulverized leaf from South America that does not trigger craving for sugar. Good luck to all of you ....
I got to learn so much about my body through this video.This is the best one I saw on the topic ,thanks ❤️
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!!!
Yes! 100% love the focus of whole foods vs fad diets... the fad diets never worked for me,lol.

Sometimes Stevia is cut with erythritol. It causes the cramping, probably not the Stevia.
thank you for info✍️ i definitely will try some advices 🤩
Very helpful video. Practical advice.
Glad to hear sugar elimination tips!
BTW-I just watched the S'more's video! Your daughter is adorable and refreshing!! Since I taught middle school for twenty-five years, thus, I know!!
Great video thanks 😊
Wow I really found this to be very helpful! I love everything about it and your mind body approach! I would love to do you mind body class I will be looking you up! Thank you so much🙏😁
Thank you for explaining this!
It's my pleasure!
Love how you explain this very easy to
I definitely need this thank you❤️
Great video!!! Great content!!!
Thank you I really needed this video. Take care-Debbie
Thank you for sharing this!
It's my pleasure. Thank you for watching.
So informative and so well said. Thank you, Dani ❣
The way the information was given was totally shame free!
It really works (if can afford to do it) to give in to you mid-day sleepiness,and take that cat nap.
I agree! A little cat nap can go a long way ;)
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
Thank you so much for the info. Very helpful information.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and something I have been wanting to look up. Thank you
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful.
😢😭😭🤧 thank you so much I'll be eternally grateful the biggest fan Michael 😭🤧
Thanks Dani! I always love and appreciate your content. Just curious...you did not mention Monk Fruit in your video, and I know you have baked with it in the past. Do you feel like it falls into the category of artificial sweeteners that ultimately encourage sugar cravings?
Great information!! Thanks👍
So glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching Joanne P.
Thank you for all of your videos! Chronic dieter here! Trying to learn from you.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve saved so I can refer back to it.
Great information I try to get enough rest and stay hydrated
Thanks dear very helpful 👍
Wow excellent video!
I really enjoy your channel. I gave up cane and beet sugar and artificial sweeteners about six months ago when I noticed that they were one of my migraine triggers. The only sweetener that I have found that I can use is organic dark maple syrup, and I only use it when I bake. I have come to love fruits and there sweetness. I have also lost 50 lbs since making the switch. My migraines have become less frequent as well.
I definitely need this!!
So glad to hear that!
😆 lol me too
😁
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.
Great video very beneficial 👏
