Sugar is the siren that calls me no matter what I am doing…
(at least she used to be)...
It's not just about willpower.
Its about understanding our brains so that we can get more control over our lives.
Neuroscience offers us a roadmap to beat sugar cravings for good.
Here's how:
1. Understand Your Triggers:
- Your brain craves sugar during stress or boredom.
- Recognize these moments.
- Take deep breaths instead of reaching for sweets.
- Do something else instead of succumbing to the Sugar Siren
2. Redefine Reward:
- The brain loves rewards.
- Find a healthy alternative that delights you.
- Maybe it's fruit, a trashy show, imitating a slug or a nature walk.
3. Build a New Routine:
- Habit loops in our brain keep us reaching for sugar.
- Replace the sugary snack with a healthy habit.
- Do it consistently for 66 days (this is how long the highest quality of studies say it takes to rewire your neural pathways, not 21 days...ah hem).
