Specifically, "How Do I Eat Less Sugar?"
There's a faulty idea at the heart of that question that I'd like to address. Eating less sugar is important for your health now and as you age. There's no doubt this is an important thing to do.
Where people go wrong is thinking that the desire for sugar is a personality quirk, or worse, a personal deficit.
I promise, it's no such thing. Yes, some people are more sensitive to it or find more pleasure in it, but that's within a spectrum of normal human behavior.
In other words, liking sugar and responding strongly to it aren't the problem. Your environment, boundaries, and thinking are.
If you want to eat less sugar, then stop trying to 'fix yourself', fix what's creating the compulsions.
To that end, I'm doing a sugar workshop for the community on January 3rd to help you uncover what's triggering you, overly tempting you, and causing the cravings you're battling.
We'll go step by step through the life and dietary choices that are upending you and discuss strategies to create lasting change.

Guess which one actually works?
Next steps:
Step 1: Listen to this awesome episode of Hidden Brain for a contextual understanding of living with constant overabundance.
Step 2: Join the newsletter community if you haven't already. This workshop alone is worth the price of admission.
You don't need another diet; you need a new lens.
When I saw that PDF, I read through it twice, and I went, oh my god, that makes sense.
It's it is totally mind-blowing.
Oh my god. I get it. AHA"
Yours in joyful living,
