One of the things we tell clients all the time is that SUGAR craves SUGAR. If you invite sugar into your body, it’s going to want to have a party and invite all of its friends … and they are just going to leave your body feeling trashed.

That’s because when you consume sugar, your blood sugar rises quickly and then falls … leaving you craving more “energy”. But it’s false energy!

Best bet: If you’re cutting back sugar, hang tough during the first day or so. Remind yourself that it’ll get easier as your body gets used to not having it. That effort will be so worth it in the long run!
