043. "I feel free when I don't eat sugar and when I fast": Janine

Janine knew all the facts about sugar: what it does to your health, how it can feed cancer and cause inflammation... but she still ate it because she liked the taste, and it made her happy to eat it.When she'd tried other diets, like keto, she realized that the fake sugars and the recreations of desserts that she was making were just causing her to miss the "real thing".And when she stopped trying to replace sugar, she found that real food just tastes better. Although she might sometimes crave processed foods like pizza and nachos, she doesn't necessarily act on her craving. She can usually wait for 15 minutes, or go for a walk, and the craving passes.  Not always, but most times.She's working on her mindfulness. "A craving is not a life-or-death situation", she reminds herself.Another habit that helps her in her daily life is practising intermittent fasting. In this episode, we talk about fasting, and about being fat adapted (and what that means), and how both of these keep Janine's cravings to a minimum.To get my 5 tips to help you with cravings, go here and scroll down: https://aftersugarclub.com/podcast/To get more personal support, guidance, and encouragement to help you break free from sugar so that you don't need it or miss it any more, join us in the After Sugar Club here: https://aftersugarclub.com/asc1/To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
